Our Very Last Day is Tomorrow

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:23:00 +0000

It's hard to have a store with nothing to sell. The minute we announced our closing everything flew out the door. Sadly, but also very fortunately, tomorrow will be our last day. We couldn't have asked for this process to go more smoothly. Thank you so much Winston-Salem. 75% off anything that's left!

Getting ready for our Sidewalk Sale is always full of laughs. We'll see you tomorrow at 9am for our last one ever. Sniff Sniff Hurray!

Read It and Reap

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:02:00 +0000

Set your alarms for next Friday at 9am Winston-Salem time. That's when we'll open our doors for our last-ever-gigantic-summer sidewalk sale. This year (unlike in years past) it's all clearance items, no consignment; that means never-worn and brand new boutique items all marked to sell.

This sale is legendary as the best sale in town and after 10 years this will be the last one. The store will be filled to the brim with clearance items; so much good stuff that it literally spills out onto the sidewalk.

Doors open at 9am on Friday. We'll be here Saturday and Sunday too to help you find something awesome. Remember to wear things that makes it easy to try stuff on. Bring your friends for opinions. Bring snacks for sustenance. We can't wait to see you at this huge community event.

DYOD

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Wed, 21 May 2014 01:43:00 +0000

Join us this Thursday, Friday and Saturday for our Spring 2014 "Draw Your Own Discount" Sale! A little bit like a raffle and grab bag combined, DYOD Sales have become a customer favorite. Here's how it works...when you're done shopping (throughout the entire store, aka everything is on sale), you'll reach into "the hat" and draw your discount. Depending on what you pick, anywhere from 25% to 50% will be taken off your everything you buy. What a great time to pick up that piece you've been dreaming about, or to stock up on some cuteness for the hot summer months ahead!

Mother Love

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Tue, 06 May 2014 15:20:00 +0000

We're all about our mothers. They come into Wildflower in all shapes, sizes, and ages. We've watched countless women raise their children over the years. Each and every one has a special place in our great big tapestry. We've seen the youngest Wildflower girls grow up and become young mothers. We've adored the pictures when empty-nesters joyfully become grandmothers. The number of baby bumps we've outfitted is impressive. And the dresses we've sold to mothers of brides and grooms could fill a very cute consignment store. We've learned so much about life and love from all these mothers.

In honor of Mother Love we're giving back!

20% off Storewide all weekend long
Motives Cosmetics Makeovers on Thursday night, 5pm to 8pm

We love our Wildflower mothers! xoxo the Wildflower Girls

What is a Wildflower Seed?

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:50:00 +0000

At Wildflower Boutique a "Wildflower Seed" is one of the ways we say thank you to our customers. They're like cash in your pocket for your next purchase at the store. Every time you spend $100 (on full-price merchandise) you get one seed worth $5. "Seed Saturdays" are days when we double the deal and give back two tokens for every hundred.

We love seed swapping as much as our customers but sometimes we need to be reminded to hand them out. So don't be afraid to ask for your hard-earned Wildflower Seeds and don't forget to bring them back and use them on your next purchase. It's amazing to us how many seeds go unused. If we don't get them back we may run out and no one wants that!!

Everyone's Favorite Sale! Why Now?

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Sun, 16 Mar 2014 15:22:00 +0000

Please check our Facebook page for updates about store hours (due to ice)!

Every August, for the last 8 years, Wildflower would offer our community a chance to buy boutique brands at really great prices and then donate what didn't sell to a few really great charitable organizations. It all centered around North Carolina's tax-free weekend. But times are a changing. Since the state decided to eliminate the tax-free holiday this year, we've decided to change things around a little bit too.

Instead of waiting until August, we're moving the sale to March (as in starting tomorrow, the 17th). This gives everyone a chance to wear their spring/summer sale finds right away and for the entire season! As for the merchandise, it's all very current and it's all new/never worn (with tax-free gone, we can't offer consignment anymore). We're also stretching the sale out for an entire week, versus just 3 days. The discounts will start at 50% off and get deeper as the sale progresses based on everyone's interest.

We love our community and want everyone to be able to find something special that makes them feel amazing. Help spread the word about this sale because next week is a great time for anyone and everyone to do just that.

Get Motivated & Get Motives this Saturday

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 15:58:00 +0000

Last March, I went No-Poo. It was awesome to totally let myself go and see what was underneath. I actually learned a lot about beauty and how to love myself as I age. I stopped using face soap, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and makeup. If I used anything it was all-natural and homemade.

In November the beautiful Ashlee Jenkins walked into the shop and she was literally glowing. I had been no-pooing for 9 months so I guess my interest and gushing reaction was a sign that it was time for my beauty regime to be re-born.

She told me about Motives, a locally-based Greensboro makeup company that offers custom blended foundations. It sounded like the perfect way to get back on (or fall off) the skincare wagon. Restocking my makeup bag needed to be done consciously and intentionally or my No-Poo project would have been for nothing.

A week later I was at Ashlee's house having a professional makeup artist mix me a foundation that matched my skin color exactly. She offered anti-aging, sun-screen, moisturizer and a few other add-ins but I took mine plain. That next day I wore my new blend to work for the first time and it felt great.

Much like going vegan or vegetarian for a "season", going No-Poo has been a recalibration. I now make better choices and Motives is definitely on my new list.

This Saturday Katie Hoyme, Lluvia's amazing sister, will be hanging out all day at Wildflower with her Motives custom blend foundation kit!!! Stop by between 10am and 6pm and have her mix up your skin tone. Katie, a seasoned artist and painter, will be making everyone's skin look flawless. Or email her to set up another time that works better for your schedule.

A little bit like a raffle and grab bag combined, DYOD Sales have become a perennial favorite. Here's how it works...when you're done shopping, you'll reach into "the hat" and draw your discount. 25% to 50% will be taken off your entire purchase depending on what you draw. Who doesn't love that?!?

So please stop by for a special night of shopping, conversation and fun. It's all about the love and we'd love to see you there.

Wake Forest Style Club Gets to Styling

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 11:03:00 +0000

Everyone has an inner stylist that comes out in the morning while getting dressed (unless your a nudist). We asked the Wake Forest Style Club to bring theirs out at night during their super stylish launch party. Then we told them they could win a $50 gift card to Wildflower if they got "editorial" on us. We gave Best of Show to a black and white look that dared to put a Kersh pug sweater over a Veronica M aztec printed dress with Minnetonka 3-fringe moccs. The Forest Folk where are you???

Bye Bye Dresses, Hello Pants (for now)

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:26:00 +0000

Pants weather is here and we're stocked up with so so many different styles. Tights will start to feel right in a bit but for now the idea of pulling on a dress with bear legs or hoisting on some tights is not at hand. What we're feeling is the comfort and warmth of some pants.

Community Quilting with Terry this Saturday

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:41:00 +0000

Print-maker and quilter, Terry Schupbach-Gordon, will be at Wildflower this Saturday, September 28th from 10am until 2pm to inspire our first ever Wildflower Community Quilt. She'll be teaching us how to quilt the crazy way so bring your skills or just your hands and help us get to work. And always remember...

A bed without a quilt is like a sky without stars.

A day patched with quilting seldom unravels.

Ask not what your fabric can do for you, but what you can do for your fabric.

May all of your ups and downs in life be with a needle and thread.

Quilting with friends will keep you in stitches.

When life gives you scraps - make a quilt.

Our Go-To Shoe

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:44:00 +0000

We've been on a quest to find comfortable and fashionable shoes that are made in the states. While they're hard to find our search led us to Cordani. Each of their shoes are hand-made in very small factories by local artisans using traditional shoe-making techniques. We've brought in the Wellesley peep-toe wedge because this particular style is made in Los Angeles (some of their others are from Italy, Spain and Mexico). Besides the "local" vibe, we love supporting small family-run businesses, preserving old-world traditions and looking cute all at the same time. It's worth every penny.

Nourishing Transitions

noreply@blogger.com (Wildflower Girls) — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 12:56:00 +0000

Anne's daughter Kelly in her Kelly Lane dress

Transition is in the air so sharing two updates on women who are taking charge and making changes is just what we like this time of year. Both are named Kelly so it seemed even more appropriate. As some of you may know our beloved Anne has moved to Florida to help her daughter, Kelly, as she sets out on her own for the next phase of her life. Actually, "on her own" isn't exactly the right word. Anne, Kelly and her two children have set up a multi-generational home and are loving being close to the ocean and each other. What a concept to bring three generations together under one roof! Yet another "nourishing tradition" worth exploring.

The other Kelly is Kelly Lane. One of the very first designers we carried at Wildflower, Kelly Lane's dresses became and remain a favorite of many many Winston-Salem women. But lo and behold, and unfortunately for us, Kelly has decided to take a break from dress designing because she's had a child. Felix was born just before the launch of her Spring '13 collection, which is her last for awhile. Staying home to tend her garden and raise her infant son is Kelly's new focus. Transition and tradition are in the air and we're liking it.
