Hello and welcome to Boujee Boutique! I'm Stephanie, the owner. Thank you for stopping by to learn a little more about us!
I began my retail career as a 20-year old single mom working as an hourly associate at Walmart. I stayed with the company for almost 15 years, working my butt off to rise through the ranks. When I finally parted ways with Walmart, I was a Supercenter store manager.
I then went to work for Dicks Sporting Goods, and that's where I met Brent, the man who would become my husband!
When I was 43, I decided that I wanted to have another baby with Brent (who was 66!) (I already had three daughters by this time). A two-year battle with infertility (and a miscarriage) followed, but we were finally blessed with our beautiful daughter, Tasilyn, who is now a busy 2-year-old.
For about a year after her birth, I stayed home and started selling her excess unused baby clothes on Poshmark. That prompted an avalanche of movement as we cleared out her closet. I then started buying wholesale and, without knowing it - began a boutique!
The ball was rolling, so we opened a pop-up boutique for the holidays. The community needed a boutique and a place for women to gather, free of judgment, and just chat. I decided to expand and make the boutique a women's gathering and shopping location. Brent found a building to rent, and the remodel began.
But things didn't go quite as planned. Just three days before our grand opening, a gas fire gutted the building. We lost pretty much everything.
I refused to give in, so we moved into a nearby warehouse and started again. This time I decided to use Facebook Lives.
Live Facebook sales are our connection to women across the world now. I am not closed in by a box or one town; I have connections and friends all over the world! And I love it! It's great to let my customers see the fit, style, and fabric on my models or myself. I love to have fun and do goofy things all the time!
I want my customers to laugh
