Texas Roots Dress

I feel honored to share the story behind TexasRoots. Created by the lovely Kelsey Keefer in September 2013, the boutique has flourished into a great success. I came across Texas Roots by simply searching around on the internet for cute boutiques with country flair. When I found Kelsey’s shop, I fell in love with everything. From adorable dresses to unique accessories to even cool home decor, Texas Roots reflected my personal style right on point.

Kelsey took a break from college the second semester of her junior year to pursue her passion of opening up a clothing boutique. Being just twenty years old, Kelsey has a lot of life ahead of her and big plans for her future. When I’ve talked to her, she seems incredibly happy making a living doing what she loves. She enjoys every aspect of the challenge of building a business from scratch. When obstacles occur, it keeps her driven and motivated to always continue to learn and improve. To her, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing from a happy customer.

These are the kind of stories I love. Hearing about a woman my age starting her own business is so inspiring – it really motivates me to dream up some big plans for myself. When I hear success stories like this, I just feel so inspired.

Please check out TexasRoots and support this amazing woman. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. Stay tuned for future posts featuring clothes from there coming soon!

Her sorority inspired her to name her store “Bows and Kites” since she is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta (our symbol is a kite!). She speaks very highly of her time in college with her sorority sisters at UC Davis. It’s always so exciting for me to meet not only fellow sorority women, but also other Thetas!

Paulette is doing such an amazing job running this shop while also working – it just blows me away! She also has an adorable blog where she explains how to get cheap deals on Lilly Pulitzer, posts pictures of her sweet puppies, and shares her beauty secrets. Check it out here.

Paulette kindly offered to send me some bows for myself which I am absolutely OBSESSED with! I’m a sucker for bows in general, but these are so beautiful. She even remembered that I’m from Seattle and sent me a Seahawks one. She also asked me which kind of clasp I like and made sure they were all that style.

She also provided me with two other bows to giveaway to my lovely readers! If you want to enter this giveaway, all you have to do is enter in your email.
