Permission to express yourself granted!

 Fashion is all about expressing your personality, and what better way to do that than by embracing your personal style with fun and vibrant colors and prints! It's time to give in to the joy of dressing up and have some fun with fashion.

It's easy to think that sticking with neutral colors and safe styles will let you blend in but .. gosh, life is short and clothing is such a fun way to express different parts of yourself! Fashion should be fun and exciting, and there is no better way to express your individuality than by embracing bold and colorful clothing. Especially when traveling it's a great time to "make it special." I mean, it's not everyday that you are in Rome or Paris or NYC, or Tokyo right? Bonus, your pictures will be cute! Don't forget to send me pix when you travel! I love to share your #follygirladventures in the Instagram stories... are you following along? This year has been a really fun year for travel with so many of our beautiful regulars going all over the world in their folly fashions! I live vicariously through you so send me all your cute pictures. :) Look how cute Rachel looks in Japan this Spring!

Adding a pop of color to your wardrobe can instantly uplift your mood and add a playful touch to your outfits. Whether it's a bright yellow dress or a pair of neon green shoes, incorporating colors can make you feel more confident and energized. I think it's safe to say that in 2023 there are NO HARD RULES for fashion! In fact, if you find yourself leaning on something your mother told you about "how to dress," I invite you to examine this in a larger context. "Flattering?" according to who? I think you will find most of those rules were written by people we don't really need to worry about impressing these days. It's all about YOU and what you want! When it comes to embracing your personal style and having fun with fashion, don't worry about what others might think. Fashion is all about expressing yourself, and if you love what you're wearing, that's all that matters.

Prints are another great way to add some personality to your outfits. You can mix and match prints or pair them with solid colors for a chic and playful look. I love mixing prints and can always help you find permission within to play in this area. I've been mixing prints in my clothing since the very beginning.

And if you're feeling a little hesitant about embracing your personal style, start with small changes. Add a statement piece like a colorful scarf or a printed skirt to your outfit, or try mixing patterns with solid colors. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll fall in love with the fun and excitement of dressing up.

Come see us, we love to help you find your favorite YOU and we do this with lots of love and encouragement.

Shopping local matters more than ever!

Do you ever wonder WHY shopping local matters? There are so many options for clothing online but there is nothing that can replace shopping in your hometown!

Shopping local can have a positive impact on both the local economy and the environment, which is why it matters. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Local businesses support the local economy: When you shop at a local business, you are supporting the local economy by keeping money within the community. Local businesses are more likely to spend their profits within the community, whether it's by paying employees, buying supplies, or supporting other local businesses. This is true! We shop locally so your dollars go on to support other Portland businesses!

2. Local businesses create jobs: Small businesses are the largest employer in the United States, and they are responsible for creating a significant number of jobs in local communities. By supporting local businesses, you are helping to create and sustain jobs in your community. Folly employs 3 people AND is my sole source of income so that's 4!

3. Local businesses are more sustainable: Local businesses are typically more sustainable than larger corporations because they tend to have smaller supply chains and produce fewer emissions. By shopping local, you are supporting businesses that have a smaller environmental footprint. It goes even further because we manufacture on site which allows us to control production more and generate less waste and use fewer fossil fuels associated with shipping, etc...

4. Local businesses offer unique products and experiences: Local businesses often offer unique products and experiences that you can't find anywhere else. By supporting these businesses, you are helping to preserve the local culture and character of your community. YES, it's all about keeping Portland, Portland! I see overly curated shops on instagram and am stunned that a shop in Peoria looks pretty much just like a shop in LA! Let's keep Portland special!

5. Local businesses support community organizations: Local businesses are more likely to support community organizations, such as schools, sports teams, and charities. By supporting local businesses, you are indirectly supporting these organizations as well. We donate to school auctions, sponsor a local girls softball team and make donations to local shelters and more!

Overall, shopping local can have a positive impact on the community, the economy, and the environment. By choosing to support local businesses, you can help create a more vibrant and sustainable community for everyone. And let's not forget RELATIONSHIPS! Everyone needs more kind, human contact these days and local shops love to get to know you!

 Plus we make the cutest clothes for you! See you soon and someone tell the SUNSHINE to start!

Happy Spring!
