| Getting ready to go! |
We had such a great time in Indianapolis! We arrived early
in the morning at our location to set-up the mobile boutique, along with the
help of several volunteers from Claire’s. As per usual, they were all super
helpful and knew how to arrange everything so that it looked visually
appealing. In fact, everything was color-coordinated so nicely that several
girls complimented how the clothes looked on the rack! Also at our stop was
fashion blogger Ashley Wottring of FASHionatelyMe.com. She was super stylish, and
loved helping the girls choose clothing.

Our location was the Martin Luther King Community Center.
The staff there were so nice as to grill hot dogs and provide drinks and snacks
to the girls who came to the event. I am in the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha, which
is headquartered in Indianapolis! I reached out to ZTA to let them know that I
would be in town, so Ashley Martin from their Themis magazine came out to see
the truck/trailer. ZTA stands for many values which I feel Threads for Teens
and myself embody. I feel extremely lucky/blessed to be a member in such an
amazing fraternity that emphasizes service and sisterhood. The local Fox
affiliate also came to visit and film the event. I always enjoy talking to the
news because that means I can get Threads for Teens’ mission out to so many
more people. I will post a link to the
clip if I can find one!
Overall, 38 girls came to our stop in Indianapolis and all
had such an awesome time. The girls specifically loved the shoes. Almost every
single girl took a pair!! Clothing from the brand Maurice’s was also flying off
the racks. They sent a shipment of twenty boxes to our Las Vegas stop and since
then, we keep going through more and more boxes.
Stay tuned for CHITOWN!!!
Hugs and Kisses
