ABOUT US
Taylor's Story
When I was 15 years old, I was in an abusive relationship with a boyfriend. He was both physically and emotionally abusive. I was never allowed to wear certain types of clothes. When we went to the pool I had to wear a t-shirt and shorts over my swimsuit or I was punished for going against him. I was put down for over a year about my body and my personality. I was never allowed to go anywhere without him and if I did he'd show up. I didn't want another woman to ever feel what I felt in that moment. I wanted women to feel confident and comfortable in their clothes! I have an entire blog post that goes deep into my relationship and will link it here!

Our family has worked with battered women shelters and when we asked the question "How do the women receive and pick out their clothes?" We were told that they get handed hammy down clothes. They don't get to pick anything out.
We wanted to fix this. These women can not just go out to TJMAXX or WALMART nonetheless a boutique and shop. We all know how it feels to put on a new outfit that you love and really take on the world!
