I've never got personal in this blog but I woke up today and thought why not? Why not share a bit more about what goes on behind the scenes in the store and in my life! So here it goes...

One of the hardest parts in owning a clothing store is finding the right brands for your store. There is a TON of designers and unique brands out there but deciding which ones will continually provide quality, unique pieces at reasonable price points can be difficult when you're new in town! Everyone wants to promise you their line is the best... "Kitson, in LA, has reordered this 5 times". Well, that is great for Kitson but my store is in Milwaukee...not the same customer people!!! Clothing reps/ad reps can be a little pushy sometimes and that doesn't mesh well with my personality. I'm not good at saying NO. I will say ( and mj I think you'll agree...), I realized fast the option to say thanks for showing us your line/offering us your pitch but I'm gonna pass this time! I don't why that was so difficult for me...lesson learned though! Anyways, MJ and I have begun to figure this Milwaukee market out and we have weeded out a few lines as well as introduced some new ones to the store. I hope you like them as much we do :) I'll share my new favorite line in the next post...
