Exciting things happening :)

Hey Gals,
Where do I start?! I would just like to say thank you once again for all the amazing support that keeps coming my way from family and friends! You guys are amazing and I wouldn't be as motivated as I am without all the positive words from everyone, so thank you! These past few weeks have been extremely busy for me and I love it! The Mini Skirts are doing great up in Saratoga! All you girls should check out the store Piper! Its a great fashion forward boutique that sells only the latest trends! My skirts are selling great there and they just ordered more for the fall! So please keep your fingers crossed that they keep selling at the rate that they are and check them out. :)
Also, their is a fashion show happening this Sunday August 21st at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga called the Catwalk for Kidneys. A Mini Skirt or two will be featured in the show which is also very exciting!
I just had my first Mini Skirt party yesterday at my cousin Remy's house and it was so much fun ladies!! I had about 90 skirts laid out all over her house from her dining room table to her couches.(pictures will be posted) I think the biggest hit at the party were the Leather Mini Skirts. I took about 20 orders for those skirts alone. Love it! Please, if your interested in hosting a Mini Skirt party contact me via email, phone or facebook! I would love to throw one for you! For every 10 skirts you sell you get one FREE! Its a great way to get your friends together to chat, have a few drinks and enjoy being a girl!
On another note, I am also very excited because I just purchased my first fabulous mannequin! HAHA I know laugh..but its very exciting to me lol! I'm open to suggestions for names for her LOL.
As far as the near future goes.. I'm thinking about having my own vendor at an October Trade Show in the City! I thought this would be a great way to market my skirts more and branch off to get my name out there! I have to think about it a little more because in order to be ready I have to have at least 500 skirts made! Just thinking about it gives me anxiety lol! But I really want to do a trade show so I have to start looking toward getting more help in the sewing department! Who's in?
Lastly, I'm in the middle of planning a photo shoot for the Mini Skirts. I found a great photographer that's interested and so now I'm starting to plan different venues to have the pictures taken! I will keep you posted as the days go by!
I hope everyone has a great weekend and remember to Always Dream Big!
Love,
Mary
