Mint Is In

                      
Our new favorite color,  MINT!!!


The color of the season, mint is all over My-Kim, from maxi dresses to shorts to nail polish. & girls have been picking up our mint pieces faster than we can restock them! 

Here's a look at our mint collection...


the comfiest shorts ever made 

this mint dress has the perfect cutouts in the back and on the sleeves, and the best part is the pearl button in the back ;)

the My-Erika sweetheart dress has been a hot pick for graduation and has a sash that is yellow on one side!

& my FAVORITE, the mint julep dress paired with one of our adorable bow belts in yellow...

My-Kim Collection is officially OPEN!

 
                                     


What an exciting day it was – full of shopping, petit fours, lemonade, family, friends and laughter.

Michelle's delish lemonade and pretty setup ;)




With all bows perfectly tied and mannequins dressed to the nines, we pulled down the paper hanging in our front windows and exposed Columbia to their first taste of the My-Kim Collection!







It didn’t take long for customers to notice our brightly colored balloons out front. Our first customer stopped by just minutes after we opened. She saw our grand opening announcement on Facebook and just HAD to come visit!

Like all first-day customers, we made sure she put her name in for the bow shirt drawing, and she was very patient while we figured out exactly how to work our check-out system! (It’s much harder than it looks! ;)


Our bright colored fabrics seemed to be a hit with everyone. One customer said she loved the fact that there was no black in the store – just a sea of mints, corals, fuchsias and limes! After all, it’s summertime, and we want all our customers to start the season in the trendiest fashions!

With the help of a few male customers, and John, of course, we were able to get our My-Kim sign up around lunch time. What a great addition it is to the store. Many thanks to Melissa Crook for working so hard to finish it for the big opening!


We are so thankful for the love and support on our opening day. Thanks to all the customers who were patient with us while we were learning and for making the grand opening such a success.

We are getting new styles and designs in daily, and many of the My-Kim pieces will be here within the next few weeks, so be sure to stop by all the time, so you don’t miss out on any of the amazing pieces!

We are so excited to FINALLY have everything up and running, and we are looking forward to a great first year. Be sure to stop by My-Kim at 2716 Devine St – you won’t regret it! ;)

A few things from market ;)


....a few things from market...

One of my favorite lines at market was also the very first place we walked into! We also ended up with the NICEST salesperson that patiently bared with us. Poor girl, we took over an hour just trying to decide on our first order! We couldn't decide how many xs, s, m, and l we needed and on top of that there were well over 30+ fabric/pattern choices!

This line came from a young artist out of Maryland. This is her FIRST year launching a clothing line and she uses her original paintings as the pattern choices for fabric. All of the fabric choices are bold and bright and the styles are PERFECT for southern proper attire. Her designs are VERY similar to Lilly, but at a fraction of the cost ;)  
These are just a few of her designs and we ordered A LOT more cute, fun patterns and styles!!!










---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



…some of our FAVES for early spring!!! PERFECT for a Charleston trip (or maybe the photo shoot just reminds me of Chucktown!lol)…either way I LOVE all three ;)

How cute are these scallop shorts?!?!






... I looked for these exact shorts ALL summer last year and the boutiques were ALWAYS OUT!!! You can't imagine how excited I was to find them at market!


White shorts have always been a staple for me, so I couldn't have been happier to find them scalloped and topped off with gold buttons...


Anddd we even got them in red and blue seersucker too ;)



…a few more of our favorite shorts...











...these lightweight, pleated shorts would be GREAT for a hot summer day...you can either dress them down with some rainbows or up with some jacks! Whichever way, their super cute and once again, I LOVE, LOVE the gold buttons!




.......StAy TuNeD for MORE!!!....
