For 15 years I have built a boutique business from my home. I can’t even start to tell you what this opportunity has afforded me and my family. Saying yes to the unknown changed our trajectory. What started as a fun side gig to buy cute clothes for my 2-year-old daughter became a full-time career when life threw me a curveball. I didn’t know I would need Matilda Jane Clothing as a soon-to-be single mom. It wouldn’t be only for financial reasons but also for the relationships that helped me through some very difficult days. God opened a door before I knew I would need it.
Here are my top reasons why NOW is the best time to open your own boutique.

#5 Wardrobe Perks
“A total wardrobe upgrade! Doesn’t that sound like a dream? It’s a dream I’ve been living in as a Trunk Keeper for almost 3 years now! Best part? I hardly pay a thing for it! Can’t beat that! This has allowed my daughter Emma and I to match whenever we want (thankfully that’s still a lot as she’s only 5 and doesn’t say no just yet) and not break the bank. We don’t just get to match, but we make the best memories in our matching MJ, as well. We twirl, we spin, we laugh and we feel confident and comfortable in the clothes we wear! I am thankful for all the perks of being a Trunk Keeper, but our personal wardrobe allowance is one of my favorites, for sure! Emma says it’s one of hers, as well, and it’s one we will cherish forever being able to look at photos of us together”

#4 family Time
Matilda Jane Clothing has allowed me the flexibility to be present. To do pick-ups, drop-offs, and sit in the stands of sporting events. It has allowed me to work from home when my kids are home. I tell my two they are spoiled to having mom around. I wouldn’t trade that flexibility for the world. It has given me the chance to collect experiences throughout the years that I will never forget.

#3 Growing up with MJC
This was my sweet Lilly girl when I started MJ 15 years ago. All of the beautiful clothing marked so many milestones in her life from birthday parties, seasonal pictures, the first day of school, picture day, Easter, Christmas, etc. These are memories I will cherish forever. You have heard me say it before but MJ is way more than clothing.
#2 Extra Income
Use your income to pay for something you NEVER thought possible all with your own Matilda Jane Money…like a Disney trip!!
“I became a Trunk Keeper as a 21-year-old single Mom, after going to my first trunk show when I was 7 months pregnant! I knew I wanted to be a Trunk Keeper, but I was so scared. Now, Matilda Jane is a second source of income for my little family and I recently paid for a trip to Disney in FULL! I will eternally be grateful for taking the plunge”

#1 FulfiLl Your Dream
What do you dream of? This business is built to be whatever you want or need it to be and chances are if you say YES, WHY you started today will not be WHY you continue. I have asked many Trunk Keepers through the years what has kept them in the business. They always begin by saying “I started because X but now I am here because of X”.Life throws you curve balls and many times you have to change course!

The great news is that opening your Matilda Jane boutique can be a constant through whatever life throws your way. You can still stay focused on that dream and work daily towards it no matter what comes your way and I will be here to support you through it all!! This picture was captured as I accepted my 25th season award. What you do not see is the crowd of ladies cheering. I am blessed to have the best community of dream chasers and because of their desire to build something great, we all succeed.
