PRETTY POSY BOUTIQUE : SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

 

Small Business Saturday Shopping at The Pretty Posy KC boutique. The holiday season can be tempting with all the deals from the big box stores. Yes, I know the Small Businesses cannot compete with those deals. But when you shop small, you contribute to the local economy. You contribute to a family's happiness - a family that has worked hard to keep that small business running. Also how cute is this dried floral arrangement from Brittany Blooms KC, who is another local small business. 

What is Small Business Saturday? As a marketer, this rings close. In the midst of the recession in 2010 American Express created Small Business Saturday on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to Shop Small and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses. Shopping Small adds up to big things - no, this is not sponsored by American Express. This is just true. 

Tried on some outfits, to get ready for the holiday season. Which outfit do you think came home with me? The Pretty Posy KC  in downtown Overland Park, is clearly one of my favorite boutiques to shop from, in KC. I love how I can find outfit pieces that fit my petite mom bod. For instance, I had been on the hunt for a good mini skirt for some time. And I have tried my fair share. But none fit me as well, like this number from The Pretty Posy. 

The new arrivals in Pretty Posy are so wonderful. I was spoilt for choice on what I tried on. To be honest, I wanted to try on everything. From the holiday sweaters, to the season's hottest denim trends, to the sparkly numbers to the accessories, they had it covered. 

These holiday lounge wear sets deserve their own mention and deserve to be in a Holiday Hall of Fame. One might be on my next shopping list

When you shop from small businesses, you know someone has taken the pain to go to markets and scope out items that fit real bodies like yours- not airbrushed bodies! The Pretty Posy KC is a female-owned, local small business. So win-win, right! Owner, Erin(pictured with me) is a wonderful person, who will make sure you have a personalized shopping experience. Make sure you support small, support local, as much as you can.
