Also, I will be doing an outdoor event here in the North Spokane area on September 13th (the event is two days, but I am only planning to participate on the one day). My first ever outdoor event. 😯😃 Mark your calendars now and stop by to see me and the other vendors.
GETTING REAL - Last Thursday my 16-year old cat, Bear, went to heaven 😿. Such a difficult time for both me and my other kitty - we are learning a new normal. In memory of my boy, Bear, I am offering a 16% discount on any order of 2 items or more this week through Friday, June 7th, 2024 (this discount is not combineable with any other discount code). The discount will automatically compute when you checkout. If you are looking at this on Instagram, copy and paste website link or the below links into your browser - https://ruthiesfashions.com
If you want to check out some animal items, the following are some possibilities:
FUNTIME Micropuzzles - Cat or dog picture options, only one left in each (we have several other non-animal puzzle picture options) - https://ruthiesfashions.com/collections/fun-time
CHEETAH GRAPHIC T-SHIRT - https://ruthiesfashions.com/products/washed-worn-graphic-tee

DID YOU KNOW we carry some XL sizing? Most of our sizing is women's Small, Medium, and Large as i do not often have the option to choose the sizing. When I can get an Extra Large I try to add one to my order. So, if you didn't know that I carry size XL, I do have some of that sizing. And I just did an inventory and have listed below what I have in-stock in XL. Pics of a few are included below. Of course, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. 😃

Did you know we have a couple of blogs on our website? They can be found on the website under "gift guides" - and no, they aren't specific to gift guides but they do highlight several of our items. This link will take you to the most recent blog which provides some great summer fashion finds at Ruthie's Novel Fashions. We will not have any blogs over the summer but will start back up in August or September.

Spruce it up…with a scarf. This scarf goes with so many things….it’s a soft mesh material, lightweight, and has a little stretch. 😍

MOTHER’S DAY!!
May you take this day as an extra opportunity to celebrate the mothers in our lives, those still with us and those watching over us from above—and express our deepest appreciation for their immeasurable impact on our journeys.
As you may know if you’ve been following my shop for a while, my own mother is no longer on this earth. Losing a mother is a profound and deeply personal experience that leaves an everlasting impact on one's heart. If you’ve had the same experience, please know that my heart goes out to you. In my own experience, though my mother may no longer be physically present, her love, guidance, and memories continue to shape who I am and how I navigate through life.
In my case, my mother holds such significance that I named a part of my business after her used bookstore. It was called “A Novel View.” Naming my fashion store “Ruthie’s Novel Fashions” serves as a beautiful tribute to her legacy and the values she instilled in me. Mother's Day, therefore, is not just another day on the calendar for me; it's a poignant reminder of her love, values, and instilled meaning.
What is life without a friend? Have a beautiful day - and give an encouraging word out there to someone today. 🤗
Have a great Monday!! Dressing yourself so you look like the bad ___ you are will have you attacking your day with confidence. Go do it girl!
No matter what, it's nice to hear kind, encouraging words. So hear this, right now - YOU ARE ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️😃🤩
Get your kimono on! When you don’t need a sweater, a kimono is the perfect cover up for bare arms, to bring an outfit together, or to wear over a swimsuit. Light and airy. The last 3 pictures here I took the front ends and tied them together for this look. So many possibilities.

Who is ready for some color? Even if you mostly wear black, add one little splash of color and it just brightens your day. We have just one more pair left of the earrings shown. The floral top and short sleeve open front cardigan are new and we have size

This is actually very well said on how to be sure you see posts from people/businesses you want to. And it is also really helpful to do these things for small businesses…helps to keep our posts, reels, etc visible. Consider yourself notified! 😁
Also has some pretty fun, gooey delicious recipes. Be sure to say a little prayer for her too…her heart is breaking from the recent loss of her husband. 🙏🏼🥲
Birds chirping, a little sunshine, grass already needing to be mowed, flowers starting to bloom - Anyone else appreciating these signs of spring? Also means it’s time for yard work…and remember that you might have friends with teenagers, or young adults, that can help with odd jobs, and you can still buy groceries after you e paid them, or a new clothing item! 😄 Groceries? New clothing item? 🤔🤷🏻♀️😁
Sorry there is no springtime for you in Alaska right now…old man winter needs to take a nap. 😬
Do you need something to get you in the spring spirit? We have a few new items….up first in a minty theme —
floral stretchy tshirt (size S - L)
https://ruthiesfashions.com/products/floral-print-top
Short sleeve, lightweight, open front cardigan (stretch jersey like material - this is not sweater material). (size S - XL)
https://ruthiesfashions.com/products/short-sleeve-open-front-cardigan
Striped, sleeveless, maxi dress with hood. If you’re tall, this might be more of a midi dress (maybe to your calf), but still just as comfy and cute. Also comes in a peachy coral stripe. (Size S - L)

Time to love on our momma’s….something we should always do, but maybe just a little extra on Mother’s Day (5/12/24). And you might just find a little something fun for her or for yourself at ruthiesfashions.com 💙

Are you in an area stuck in winter? Are you aching for springtime? I have a secret fix for that - get yourself a new spring colored t-shirt or tank and throw a jacket or cardigan on over them. It definitely picks up the mood. Or maybe one of our beachy kimono's - you can wear them over a long sleeve shirt and still have the beach vibe. And of course, turn on some Beach Boys music and you are set. 😀
