When Brittany and I started this business, selecting the clothes was one of the hardest tasks.
We knew we would bring individual styles and items that spoke to our personal style. However, when you shop with vendors all over the world, it can be intimidating on what clothes to purchase.
Additionally, we have made it a priority to keep these clothes affordable. To make any sort of profit, we have to select clothes that are reasonably priced to give you the best deals and still keep this business going.
Brittany and I joke all the time when we are shopping for clothes that I am the bargain shopper and Brit's selection is always a bit more expensive. I mean, at least she has good taste.
Support local
As we have seen in the United States, prices of household items, food, gas, etc. have all increased. Because of this many small businesses struggle to bring in customers or pay their employees a wage high enough to compensate for the increases.
This can be detrimental to our economy as a whole.
We know ultimately decisions will need to be made higher up in our government to make change; some already in motion.
Brittany and I also felt that we can make a difference.
In order to support local American-made businesses, like ourselves, we made the decision moving forward to only purchase clothing and items from USA labeled vendors.
This decision became effective on our last order (for our next launch) and any orders in the future.
Support each other
Thus far, this change has been a benefit to us and you - our customers.
Ordering from vendors in the United States has saved us on shipping cost. Giving us an opportunity to order more items at one time vs. having to do such small launches.
I do want to take this opportunity to say thank you to those who support us.
Whether you put in an order, referred a friend to our Facebook group or Instagram or just are cheering us on, we appreciate you.
We are only about eight months into our journey but we are learning so much. We are excited to bring local, USA-made items to Simply Confident Clothing.
I promise we will try to be more consistent on launch dates. Living apart from Brittany can make it difficult to plan photo shoots around everyone's schedule.
But, we are so excited to bring you more great items to build your confidence and keep you looking amazing!
Stay simply confident,
Kayla
