Knit Wit

Walnut Street’s Knit Wit has such a winning variety of dresses — classic and contemporary — that you and your daughter can actually shop here together. She’ll head to the back for Marc Jacobs and Rag and Bone, while you’ll linger up front, among the DVF and Calypso. You’ll point out that you’ve been shopping here since the ’70s, before it was so well-known, before Walnut Street was the sparkling frock-filled Walnut Street your daughter knows today. And she’ll roll her eyes. But just wait. In a few years, she’ll be singing a similar tune to her daughter, who will roll her eyes as they browse the racks. Because some things just don’t change.
