   Civilian Style is a very unique fashion company based out of Little Rock, AR. My business is all about upcycling vintage clothing, rocking your own unique style and dressing creatively on a budget. I publish a DIY fashion blog and I also sell unique upcycled vintage and indie style clothing and accessories online at www.CivilianStyle.net

   This Indiegogo campaign is being launched to help me bring an awesome Civilian Style Mobile Boutique to Little Rock, the first of it's kind!! I plan to bring my unique clothing and accessories to the streets and sell them at our local farmers' market, food truck market and at festivals and private parties. Please consider backing this business start-up campaign, and help this crazy but super cool idea come to life. 

  

    First, I hand select used and vintage garments for their quality, color, pattern, fit and fabric. My goal is to find something cute, totally unique and wearable for everyday life. Next, I upcycle, embellish and/or have the garments professionally altered by a talented local stay-at-home-mother. I like to play with current trends and I often combine tough elements with girly garments. These pieces are flattering, one of a kind, and much better quality than most things you can buy at the mall, all for a fraction of the price. I purchase high quality vintage accessories to resell, I make some of the jewelry myself from vintage parts, and I also buy some new clothing and accessories which have a vintage inspired and indie style look. I always consider how a garment will fit and how it will be worn in everyday life. Nothing too short, too sheer, too complicated, too basic, or too common. My goal is finding clothing which is unique, flattering, and can be worn with several different outfits so you get the most for your money. Oh, and nothing I sell is over $50!!

What does Civilian Style mean?

     In high school, I was obsessed with celebrity level fashion but never had enough money to buy the things I saw in magazines (who does?!). What I did have was creativity! I would dig at thrift stores and yard sales for hours, find vintage clothing and combine it with new things or alter it to make something trendy and new. I realized this was the answer to having unique celebrity inspired style on a civilian budget. Then I was deployed with the Army during my college years. I wore a uniform every day and I missed fashion SO much. I missed my civilian style and the ability to express my individuality through clothing and accessories. That is how the idea for Civilian Style was born! 

How will the campaign funding be spent to complete the project?

   Your generous funding will go towards building materials and labor to customize the interior of the trailer which includes flooring, wall material and custom upcycled shelving. Each week during the project, I will ask backers to vote on certain parts of the interior design like paint colors, decor etc. The earlier you back the campaign, the more input you can have in the design! I will post photo updates as the project is completed so you can see it come to life! 

   Another big cost I am hoping to cover with this campaign is the design and installation of beautiful custom decals for the outside of the trailer. I have teamed up with a talented local graphic artist who will be completing 3 exterior designs that supporters can vote on after the project is fully funded. 

   In order to make the trailer a true boutique I will also need to purchase jewelry displays, hangers, bust forms and packaging supplies like tissue paper and bags. I will also have pay for your perks and shipping as well as the fees associated with the project. 

   I am setting my funding goal at a modest amount of $2000 because I really want to make this happen! Launching this innovative new business will cost much more than that of course, but this will get me rolling and I will appreciate any support you can give. Trust me, every dollar you contribute will be stretched and put to good use!

Thank you, and if you like this idea, please share it!
