So, here’s the truth…I really struggle with time of the year content wise. Year after year, I feel this sudden urge of pressure to share about the best Black Friday sales! As a style tastemaker, I know that promotion is my job, but for me talking about every sale under the sun and making 5 million gift guides just feels…unathentic. In addition to feeling unathentic, it also feels ungeninue, as I am not personally shopping these sales, nor will I ever (or at least that’s my current heart on the matter). The idea of Black Friday truly leaves me a high level of an anxiety. On Thursday evening, I was chatting with Jason and my sister-friend, Katelyn and they encouraged me to stick to my guns! So, there’s been no Black Friday chatter here! Despite the maddness that Black Friday brings on (both physcially and mentally), perhaps one of the greatest things it ever paved way for was “Small Business Saturday.”
In lieu of chatting about all mass retailer sales, I want to use today to pay homage to some of my favorite small business brands! From darling online shops to storefronts in downtown Columbus, here’s a quick roundup of small fashion based businesses you oughta know. But before we get to that list, I wanted to take a quick moment and share about Trove, the brand behind the darling skirt I am wearing. In fact, I wrote a post about there HERE. Without question, it’s the mission of this purposeful fashion brand that captured my heart! They currently have 4 collections live on the site and they are: Holiday, Nepal, India and Rwanda. The skirt that I’m wearing is from the Rwanda Collection and it is currently on sale! Ok, now onto our list of small biz’s you oughta know.
