8 Cute, Stylish Outfit Ideas for Women in their 20s and 30s

Image
 Did you wake up one day and realize you completely forgot how to have your own sense of style?  As a mid-20s boutique owner, I'm kind of in the same boat. Yeah, I sell clothes to women in their 20s and 30s, and I'm totally up to date on the latest trends and styles that everyone  is wearing. But somewhere in that shuffle, I lost my own sense of style. Over the past year or so, I've been working on getting that back and really enjoying finding my own sense of fashion again. You know, like we all did before we had real jobs, families, and an overwhelming sense of existential dread (kidding).  Over the past couple of years in the fashion industry, I have spoken with many women about the problem that no one seems to be talking about: losing your personal sense of style. As women, we are used to doing everything for everyone, so naturally, as we become adults and have more responsibilities by the minute, one of the first things to go is our personal style (and our commitment to

Image
  Hey babes! ICYMI, our band tees have been a big hit here at Fidgey Ray! We are in love with these hand-bleached, hand-printed graphic tees. Between the super soft material and the unique design, I must say I'm a little bit (okay, A LOT)   obsessed with them. Today I'm showing you how to style our Aerosmith Tee three different ways for summer. Nothing in the world beats an outfit that marries both comfort and style. Pair our Aerosmith graphic tee with a pair of your favorite skinnies and be out the door with a fashion-forward look in seconds. We are loving the light wash denim look with this tee, because it really enhances the vintage feel of the t-shirt.  Pictured here are our basic skinny jeans. Whether you're heading out to run errands, go to class, wrangle kids, or have a beer with friends, all you need is a comfortable pair of sneakers to complete this look.

Fidgey Ray Boutique's First Ever Pop Up Event!

Image
 Hi everyone!  Katie here. I'm the owner of Fidgey Ray Boutique, a female, veteran-owned business based in Lorton, Virginia. We specialize in trendy women's fashion with a little bit of edge.  If you've been following along for a while, you know that we have been 100% online since our opening! While that is awesome, the pandemic really left me wanting to connect with new customers on a more personal level. I don't think I'm the only one that is just tired of being all online, all the time! So, we decided to shift gears a bit and start focusing more on in-person events in addition to our online and social media presence. My mentor gave me awesome advice and told me to look locally for in-person events that I could be a part of, so that's exactly what I did. About a week after that advice, I stumbled across the Lorton Community Market, an event that was happening right down the road from our home! And.... Our first-ever pop-up shop event in Virginia happened last
