WELCOME TO BUCHANAN.
I decided to name this store after my favorite place. A place filled with generational memories and the Lord's beautiful creation. My Grandpa built the cabin with his brothers and my dad helped hammer in the nails. It's also where my husband proposed. There's no TV and cabinet full of board games that have been there since the 70s. It's the place I go to when I need a reset; and that's kind of
what this store is for me-- a reset.
After having two kids life looks a lot different. Trying to juggle a professional career, the grocery list, kid activities, and really, ALL THE THINGS, is just tough. It's hard to make time for yourself. I felt like I had lost so much of who I was because of the responsibilities I had in this new season of life. Personally, my style changed because the clothes I liked didn't look good on me anymore and I didn't know what to do about it. My body was different, my free time was less, and clothes just weren't fun anymore. But that doesn't have to be the case! I decided to leave my marketing career behind to pursue a long time dream of mine; and here we are!
As a mom, I know how important it is to be able to get out the door as quickly and as efficiently as possible. My goal is to find clothing that helps you feel effortlessly put together by having fun and flattering pieces in your wardrobe.
I am excited to help other women find confidence through their clothes. But I have to say, fun clothes are not the answer.
I struggled with my own identity for most of my life. I looked to the world for value and acceptance and the Lord did what he does best. He removed idols in my life, one by one, until I was fully reliant on Him. I learned that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not to me. He can crush me, raise me up, or do anything He chooses. He simply asks me to have absolute faith in Him & His goodness. Abiding in His will produces the greatest confidence and joy we can ever obtain on this earth.
We have tough seasons and it can be hard to trust in the promises of our Heavenly Father. Sometimes we need a reset. So this is your reminder! You were created for a purpose and we are called to live this life with intentionality.
So thank you for being here. I know there are lots of places to shop and I appreciate you trusting me to help fill your closet with pretty things you love.
And I'll leave you with one of my favorite passages:
Ephesians 3:16-19 AMP
May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you
may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely
filled and flooded with God Himself].
