"Hey, hobo man, Hey, Dapper Dan, You both got your style,
But brother, You're never fully dressed without a smile!
Your clothes may be "Beau Brumelly," They stand out a mile,
But brother, You're never fully dressed without a smile!"
So goes the lyrics from the beloved Broadway Musical "Annie" by Martin Charnin and Charles Strouse celebrating the virtue of the smile. From infancy on, a smile is something magical, something we love to gaze upon. While there are 43 muscles in the face, there is discussion as to just how many muscles it takes to smile. According to Dr. David Song of the University of Chicago Medical Center, the average frown requires 11 muscles while an average smile requires 12. Others claim it takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile. Nonetheless, it is believed that it takes less effort to smile than to frown because people tend to smile more, keeping those muscles required to smile in better shape. And, ladies, what better way to showcase your radiant smile than with a new Spring woman's top from FL Crooks & Co.
Our garden of clothing on our sales floor features tops in a myriad of shapes and designs - soft and breezy, flattering fits, fluttering sleeves.
We have boutique-look tunics and chic layering pieces. Lace, chiffon, and crocheted items present a romantic flavor for the season. Ruffles abound as do tops with just the right amount of 'bling'. Bright colors pop but which color it is that takes center stage is a matter of personal opinion. Some are leaning toward the coral and orange and tangerine and bright pinks and blues. Prints are prettier than ever.
New for Spring 2012 are the following lines for women's tops: AnM, Belldini, BCBG Generation, Clara Sunwoo, Ciel de Juno, Sunset Rd., and Sisters. Continuing on with popular favorites are Angie, Kanvas, Kersh, Kische, Michael Stars, Renuar, Sno Skins, Sugar Lips, Tresics, Violet & Claire and Ya.
Oversized tops bring a sense of fun and imagination. Nobody does it better than Tresics Cloud Nine and Tresics Femme.
The tops of Spring 2012 feature various necklines - crewneck, scoop neck as well as V-neck. With a scarf and just the right jewelry, these tops will offer you the perfect showcase for your smile, your best feature.
The prolific architect, Zaha Hadid, stated, "I'm interested in fasion because it's the immediate thing that shows you the temper of a particular moment." Spring 2012 is reflected in our collection of gorgeous women's tops.
