Until Next Time...


By no means are they mutually exclusive; Worth's shoppers and blog readers - an intelligent lot - have surely noticed the slowdown in "new posts" around here. Usually, by this time, Spring/Summer arrivals are being unpacked, photographed and documented with thought and care - a process that we've enjoyed since this blog's inception nearly 1 year ago. Initially developed as a supplemental means of merchandising - a tool to improve sales - our blog has evolved, acting more like a direct portal into the minds at Worth.

Back to the slowdown. As many of our shoppers & readers already know, after a very difficult year, we're left with no option but to shut our doors (exact closing date yet to be determined). Despite having to relay this sad news, we'd also like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support over these past few years. It's been inspiring to work for a company which has made no compromises in realizing its vision. Without all of the support, this wouldn't have been possible.

So what now? How about this. Absolutely every piece of clothing at Worth is AT LEAST 70% off. If you'd like to make one more visit to the store, we'd suggest that you do it soon, as stock is going fast. For news on future developments, keep checking the blog. You've got a friend in us!
Now, without further delay, I'd like to sign off with this overly mellow-dramatic, yet undeniably great (sort of) video by Soft Cell. "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye". The title says it all.

Sale Item of the Day: Denim Jacket by Blue Blood


...it's all in the details




Denim Jacket by: Blue Blood
100% cotton, produced in Italy
SALE $185- (Originally $466-)
(M,L)

This jacket, by Amsterdam's Blue Blood, is for the denim obsessed; the way its cut, its construction, wash and detail-level go far beyond any "jean jacket" that I've ever had the pleasure of encountering; and believe me, I take pleasure in such encounters. As was the case last spring/summer, I foresee denim jackets playing a key role in any smartly dressed man/woman's wardrobe for the duration of Calgary's warm-time. Personally, I like a denim jacket - especially one that's worn(washed) so beautifully - coupled with khaki pants OR shorts. Add a plain white T, or a bright madras button-up for a really laid-back, classic look. Love denim as much as I do? Then you may want to pair this jacket with jeans for the denim-on-denim look, which is great, as long as the pants and jacket work harmoniously in the cut and wash department. Waist-down considerations aside, denim jackets also look great layered beneath an overcoat. The possibilities are endless. To view this, or several other spring-appropriate jackets, which are now ALL on BIG-TIME sale, visit us in-store.
