….just a little update for those who are wondering what is going
on with My-Kim. We are planning to open a store in downtown Columbia on Devine
st. this spring ;) Half of the store will carry an
independently designed/ manufactured My-Kim line. And the other half will be a
mixture of designer retail. We are aiming to open an affordable boutique that
not only carries Southern proper, preppy clothes, but also fun, night out on
the town clothes! Scheduled to open late March, early April so STAY TUNED for
more info.!!!
As small as we are trying to start out, it has been SOOOO much
hard work!!! It doesn’t matter how early I wake up or how late I go to bed,
there is always a TON of things to get done...
And this leads me to my next topic….
Since I’ve been way over my head trying to launch My-Kim, I
decided to partner with my HARDWORKING college friend!!!
...Ms. Wing She…

| aka: Chicken Wing, Wing-a-Ling, Wang, Wingy Bingy |
If there is one characteristic of Wing, it’s definitely her
tenacity. She is basically a sister to me and I’ve always looked up to her for
being so disciplined. Holding a fulltime job as a pharmacist, Wing comes over
on her days off and we’re continuously working f/m 9 in the morning ‘till 12 at
night. And as bad as this sounds, she is
the one pushing me to work harder!lol
It’s so funny how things work out…as we sit in front of the computer, spending HOURS to complete our business plan, I couldn’t help but to think deja vu!!! Taking me back to the college days when we’d stare at the computer fixing our essays or looking over lecture notes on Blackboard. It’s crazy to think about the countless times we would sip on Starbucks and nervously talk about exams and now we're discussing real estate contracts and bank funding over coffee!lol
I do feel like some people are divinely connected and I couldn’t be more blessed to have her as my business partner…and from her obsession of shoes/purses to my obsession with clothes, we couldn’t make a more perfect pair ;)

Congrats on your store! I am preparing to write a blog about your clothing line soon! Definitely love the idea of a Southern, proper, chic store! I think you should open one in Aiken :) We need a store that carries great designer clothes like yours, Southern Proper, Dixie Patches, Lilly P., Southern Tide, and so much more!
