| Hi there! I’m Angela, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to Boho Chic. Come on in and get comfy while I tell you a little more about us. As a little girl, I always said I would either become a teacher or a fashion designer. Sometimes I would get out of the shower and drape my towel over myself in various ways envisioning all the beautiful dresses I would design. Growing older, I didn’t really conform to what others were wearing; I kinda did my own thing. Sure there were times I followed trends, but all in all, I just wanted to wear whatever made me feel comfortable. I used to hate jeans, like why would someone want to squeeze into those things when you could be prancing around in a flowy dress, right?! When I was 24, I became a single mom, went back to college to get my ECE diploma and realize my teaching dream. However, after graduation, I ended up in a different field, working as an Office Manager. In 2012 I had my daughter, then got married, and while I was on maternity leave, I realized time with my family was more important than being at a job that made me feel crappy, so I didn’t bother going back. After my daughter was born, I discovered the wonderful world of LEGGINGS! They were amazing!! I always felt great in them; even if I was wearing a 15XL hoodie, I always went in to “Sexy Mode” when I put my leggings on. Let me clarify something here - there are only certain leggings that can catapult you into “Sexy Mode”, and they aren’t the super tight spandex leggings that roll down when you bend over or the ones that you constantly have to hike up because the crotch has fallen to your knees! “Sexy Mode” leggings are super soft and comfortable, they stay up, and you can wear them with a hoodie or heels!! With all of that in mind, I decided I wanted to help other women discover their inner “Sexy Mode” by becoming a rep for a leggings company. I would pack up all my stock and head out to different craft shows and events on the weekend; sometimes, I even had to bring my daughter with me to share these fantastic leggings with anyone who would listen! During this time, customers started to ask me questions like “What top would I wear with these?” and I realized I needed to solve this problem for my customers. My new mission: find flattering tops and blouses that go with leggings, cover the butt, look gorgeous, and flatter our well-earned curves. And so, in November 2016, Boho Chic Essentials Boutique was born! Fast forward to today, and I’m working on getting Boho Chic out there! I’ve had booths at Oakhill Urban Market, One of a Kind Antique Mall, and Oakhill Marketplace, and I also schedule personal shopping experiences at my home. I love doing my Live Unboxing Shows on Facebook; although I still get nervous being on camera, it’s exciting to open and share all the new items with my clients! One last thing I’d like to say is that I’ve never had a specific style or size. I wear what feels good and I don’t care if it’s from the men’s department, petite section, or size 50XL; if it feels good, I’m in! Sometimes I’m a 12-14-16; other times I’d prefer a medium; the point I’m making here is that ALL manufacturers are different, and we should not let the size on a tag define how we feel about ourselves! Just because we don’t conform to some random definition of a “size”, doesn’t mean we aren’t beautiful. I say...cut the damn tag off and wear it, just try to remember the washing instructions! I hope you all enjoy Boho Chic as much as I do, and I look forward to getting to know all of you! Happy shopping! |
