2 Weeks to go...

I can't believe we are only 2 weeks away from opening the boutique.  There is still so much to do: the dressing room is in progress, it is 50% constructed; our signage needs to go up; we need to finish getting all of the inventory in the system; final details in styling the boutique; and we have a soft opening to plan. Whew!


Thank goodness we have such supportive family and friends who have helped us along every step of the way.  From advice and guidance, to electrical work and construction skills.  We are truly blessed.


It can be overwhelming and chaotic opening a new store but we are way too excited to let the stress get to us.  We have actually laughed most of the time.  A good sense of humor is a must in entrepreneurship; humor and of course passion.


Well, enough talking; let's get to the good stuff.  Here is a look at another one of the designers we are carrying.  Lucie Lu is a small operation; basically, a one woman show.  But she does an amazing job, from design to production.  I have already worn a super cute cardigan from this line and I have a beautiful wrap dress hanging in my closet waiting for its debut.


Lucie designs fashionable clothes for women in sizes 1x - 5x.  We are the first boutique in California to carry her line! 

Lucie Lu is available at Xclusive; a fashion boutique specializing in plus size fashion located at Frederik's Court in Solvang, Ca.
