I know this sounds like I’m bowing out.

I’m not.

There’s so much to celebrate when thinking of all we have achieved over the last year.

I’ve decided that I’m pivoting in a way that is reflective of my personal values.

I plan on creating my own clothing and accessories from vintage and deadstock fabrics, something I’ve always wanted to do and something that I think will feed my soul.

I don’t have a timeline.
I don’t need one.
I don’t know what my plans are for selling items- I might not!
I’ll be on social media when I feel like it.
I’ll be at markets when I feel like it.
Otherwise, you can catch me traveling to new places, laying in the sunny grass, painting, dancing with my son, reading poetry, giving back to the community, or at concerts and music festivals any chance I get.

I hope you continue to follow me on my journey! For now it’s just gonna be me and my lil sewing machine. And the time I’m taking back.

To my fellow entrepreneurs who I’ve met along the way, and my creative team(s), who have freely given guidance, and built me up when I’ve needed it the most, l am sending so, so much love your way. I could not have done ANY of this without you. And I’ll be in your corner supporting your journey in any way I can, including continuing to shop and hype you up to anyone who will listen! A million times over, thank you.

Cheers, friends.

An announcement-

Anyone who has taken the time to get to know me and my shop over the last few years, knows how motivated I am, not by the prospect of financial growth, but by the ins and outs of exploring entrepreneurship, expanding my knowledge base (I literally knew nothing about taxes before this you guys), and infusing my creative energy into a project that feels fulfilling and true to who I am.

Somewhere in the pressure to constantly push out new, seasonal inventory, be on social media, and sell… I lost sight of the more fulfilling aspects along the way. I stopped viewing my business as a creative project and started wrapping myself up
in the numbers. It’s forced me to decide what values are at the top of my priority list. This year, those have been money, sales, and growth. And while I am so, so grateful for the support I’ve received and how many times this year that I have set a goal for myself- and crushed it- the true values of my brand are and have always been creating a boutique shopping experience for body types and personal styles that feel underrepresented in the market, and messaging/imagery that makes those women feel celebrated- not like an afterthought.

I think I can achieve that in ways that don’t demand so much of me.

It’s always been more about putting my own artistic stamp on a little corner of the Earth, than any money we stood to make, and I think that’s why getting caught up in the analytics of it all has been so demotivating for me, personally.

That being said, I will be scaling back the boutique for new clothing options in 2023.

(There’s a part 2.)
