Nishe found its niche


Nishe evokes images of rainbows, unicorns, and cupcakes. I'm ten again, skipping around in ballet pink Mary Janes with white cuffed ankle socks. In a dress with too much lace, crinoline, and ruffles. I HATED it. I wanted to be in jeans and a t-shirt like the other kids. Running around scraping my knees without worrying about my skirt flipping over or tearing those annoying puffy, lace sleeves.


It's doe-eyed models in perfectly fluffed bangs--it's so appropriate that it's bordering on cliche--makes me want to be that ten year old again, forced into a fluffy, yucky pink dress with a thick, floppy bow on the back.

The frothy, peter pan-collared, bow-filled, pastel-colored collection almost gave me a toothache (borrowing from Cher Horowitz)!

My favorites:
:
The shorts!!!!


:
Naughty Japanese school girl!


:
At first glace, it seems simple, but the geometric print and cut really make the dress!


:
Who doesn't love a Peter Pan collar?

I was really considering buying the first two outfits, even though they were all sold out in my size range.  And I say range because I was even willing to go up a few sizes if that meant owning these pieces of sweetness! But, I think size 8 was pushing it, let alone 10, 12, or 14. Damn you Zooey Deschanel-obsessed girls!

The other pieces weren't very impressive or just downright ridiculous (see pathetic shorts in third picture).

Really? Those shorts have got to go!

Yeccch, a boxy blazer? No thanks.




Nevertheless, with the right shoes, belt, and/or jewelry, you can make any of these pieces look right! Although, Timm Gunn wouldn't be able to "make it work" for those fringed, baggy shorts.
