Well, I recently had a brilliant idea. Okay, it was more of a "I JUST DRANK A VENOM AND CHASED IT WITH COKE NOW I AM RIDICULOUSLY CAFFEINATED AND FULL OF SUGAR!!!!" moment.
However, it lead to a few more interesting ideas that formed a business plan. With the help of a beloved friend, I am opening the shop I have been dreaming of for three years! Selling custom and novelty jewelry, accessories, clothes, and just miscellaneous cool stuff, online. For instance, anyone out there a smoker? You probably lose your lighter or run out of fluid a lot. Well, if you are a relatively fashionable woman you might enjoy the cute lighter earrings that I made. Or maybe you are a trendy gal who has to look fabulous at all times, but would prefer not to carry a five pound purse. Say hello to jewelry that discreetly holds a little foundation, some lip gloss, concealer, and perfume, all in a lightweight beautiful custom to you shade. Perfume in a beautiful delicate charm on your bracelet? Lipgloss in a lovely locket about your neck? Yes, fashion has met function. Finally. Also, for those scatterbrains like myself, if you are constantly forgetting something, how about some jewelry that you can jot notes on, or a watch that has a pen and paper hidden within? I am really excited about selling these items, especially since they are all custom made for each person, so I can make the PERFECT accessory to match an outfit or personality, and make the most amazing personal gift, without the huge designer costs. I always see the cutest outfits or jewelry at the store but I can never find just the right thing, which is extremely annoying, especially for the prices I end up paying. I thought, why not just make my own jewelry to match my outfits, in fact, why not just design my own outfit! It's helping me in more than one way. Since I work at an assisted living center, I wear scrubs. They are NOT comfy, and being a woman, they have this weird V shaped top that is always trying to strangle me, catching on things, and there are never enough room in the pockets. I hate dropping things all the time, so I am designing custom scrubs as well, with extra built in features like more pockets, pockets that you can close, and different materials/colors. I think if you're spending money on it, it better be EXACTLY what you want, be so comfortable it's like a second skin, and make you feel gorgeous, no matter what it is. It's fun and a great way to make a little cash on the side, so wish me luck! Also, if anyone here would be interested in anything just leave a comment below and I'll get in contact as soon as my website is finished.
Good luck with your new business. Sounds like you have some extremely creative items to put out there. I dream of being creative, but it is just not something I was blessed with. I agree that alot of scrubs are awkward. When I was single I had money, and I bought some of the really cool looking ones that were more like everyday clothing. However, the one place I used to purchase them from online is now out of business. I also LOVE wearing scrub skirts. However, I like them to be down to my ankles, have small slits up the sides, and pockets as well. So, if you are up to making those, you may just have your first customer. Once again, good luck.
