I went shopping in a truck and I liked it! {giveaway!}

A few months ago, I found out my friend Beth was opening her own business. (Beth and I met in college and have been friends ever since. We are kind of hoping Sophie and one of her boys get married so we can perhaps be related, because YAY!) In fact, she was opening a boutique! I thought this was quite exciting because I looove clothes and accessories! And then…I found out her boutique was a mobile boutique…but I had no idea what that was. Turns out? It’s a boutique inside a big ol’ TRUCK! Exactly like this one.

A few weeks ago, I headed out to see what Beth’s business Local Love…A Roaming Boutique was all about. If you’re local, you can catch her truck out and about by liking her Facebook page so you can get updates on where the truck will be when. OR you can BOOK her truck to come to YOUR HOUSE – just gather a few of your fashion-loving friends at your place and Beth will come to you! You can earn a discount on your own purchases just for hosting the truck!

When I went shopping at Local Love…A Roaming Boutique, I met the truck out and about. I wanted to get the full mobile shopping experience!

I was TOTALLY impressed with the way Beth has the truck set up. It’s way roomier than you would think, and it really is just a cute little boutique inside!

 

It even has TWO dressing rooms!

(Side note, this was a real day of first experiences for me. First time I ever shopped in a truck, first time I ever got naked in a truck…probably won’t be the last though!)

Ok and then let us talk about the CLOTHES, shall we! They have SO many cute things, and if you aren’t local, you can shop ONLINE at RoamingBoutique.com – never fear!

I tried on many, many things, but in the end I bought this gorgeous bow-back blouse:

I wore it at Mom 2.0 Summit with my favorite Lands’ End jeans and knotted espadrille wedge shoes and it got ALL THE COMPLIMENTS, you guys! Seriously, people loved it! I got SO many compliments in real life, and online (from some of you!!)

Beth also GAVE me a dress as a thank-you for hosting this giveaway – and because I told her I am too short to wear Maxi dresses and she was like: “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!!!!” And she was RIGHT, I really did love this Maxi dress! She has several different varieties so if you love a good Maxi dress definitely check them out. I can’t believe how much I like this one. What do you think?

Ok enough about me and how great I look in Local Love’s clothes! Ha! I have ONE more thing to tell you about this fabulous roaming boutique and then we will get to the giveaway! The name “Local Love” is significant; this business aims to give  back. They have these adorbs Local Love t-shirts:

and 100% of the net profits from the Local Love t-shirts goes to a local non-profit. The current beneficiary is Bogg Ministries, a mobile food pantry! How cool is that? They have guys versions of the t-shirts, too, you should PROBABLY get one for your dad or husband for Father’s Day.
