About a year ago as I was doing my normal stroll through a local green event, I came across a booth that really caught my eye and intrigued me so much I had to stop and see what it was all about. I love to shop, and I don’t get a chance to do it as much as I would like. However, when I do. I love little boutiques and independent designers doing their thing!
Shopping independent gives you the ability to have unique and all around catchy clothing that gives someone something to look at. So when I approached the booth I was shocked to see beautiful clothes of all different colors, shapes, sizes, and prints. Than came the person a bubbly, humble, beautiful soul Tammy Jo! Who answered all my questions, and my husbands also, and made me feel like a star as I fiddled through her clothes.
I could not help but to buy one thing, I think I got about four things that day, two dresses and and I think two tops!
Amazing!
When Tammy Jo, explained to me that her clothes were sustainable, I was thrilled! I’ll have to admit, it can be hard to find designer cothes that are sustainable, affordable and Done Right!
Tammy Jo is where it is at, and if you love prints, if you love comfort, yeah her clothes are comfortable! Many of the dresses stretch and if she does not have your size send her and email and she can work out the measurements for you.
Yeah that’s real!
Tammy is the sort of person who even met me on a busy afternoon, around my time frame to help me out with a dress I wanted to buy. Yes Tammy Jo Fashion is all about customer service, and I am glad to say her company is just making its mark but its going places. Yes, Tammy jo is is a force to be reckoned with, in which she is now expanding her sports line, and yes it has staying Power!
