Hi. Hello. How are you?

My usual phrases of the day.

If you are wondering why I am so concerned with the well being of others then you are probably in the same boat as everyone else. Hi, hello, how are you? My name is Anne Coleman and I am a retail manager. Yes, I'm here to help you with all of your problems, even problems that are not my problems or will ever be my problems. A day in the life of a retail manager.

BUT...

Although some days it may seem like I am consumed by the retail world, I find time to express my inner creative goddess and design sustainable clothing. Something that I feel I was born to do.

A little about me.

I am a 2017 graduate of the University of South Carolina with a bachelor of Science in Retail Fashion Merchandising. I have worked in the retail industry for the past five years but instead of thinking myself as a retail worker I like to think of myself as a "fashion designer and business owner in training." Which I know is a mouth full but I have always been taught to dream big and to never give up! (All that glory goes to my Mama!) I participated in six design competitions and won first place in five of them over my years at USC.

If you are still reading, you are probably wondering the point to this post other than me rambling on about myself.

Trust me, it gets better.

I get asked questions daily on what I'm wearing. "Where did you get that?" "I've been looking for jeans like that. Where did you get yours."

Y'all, THRIFT STORES!

I am a thrift-a-holic and I am proud of it!

I decided to create this blog (and website) to showcase some of my finds and designs and to show you how to live a fashionable and sustainable life!

I'll show you how to find quality items in consignment and thrift stores, feature easy DIY step-by-step tutorials and show you how to shop sustainably.
