Giving Thanks.

So often, the "thanks" part of Thanksgiving gets overlooked. We focus on turkey and gravy and pumpkin pie, football  and gas prices and airports. But it's a day to reflect and be grateful for all we have that makes our lives - not just our tummies - full.

When I list what I'm thankful for, my daughter and husband and sisters immediately come to mind - but then, right after, I am filled with such amazing gratitude for the family that SOL has created. The SOL Girls (and SOL Man) at the store are my family too, and I am blessed that they share the same passion for it that I do.

And, of course, the extended family for which I am so thankful is you. All the beautiful women we are so fortunate to know, the amazing ladies we've met - I get a lump in my throat thinking about it - the experiences over the years have been nothing short of fantastic.

This week, we posted a little note on Facebook - just asking you what YOU were thankful for - and you responded with answers "family and my Daisy bra" or "my kids and Prima Donna."

 It floors me to realize that what we're doing makes such a difference in your lives. And for that I am truly thankful.

The SOL Girls will all take Thursday off to be with loved ones so the store will be closed for the day. And, sure, there'll be gravy and football and pie. But there will also be a warmth in our hearts and a tremendous spirit of gratitude.

The store will open again Friday morning.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

OMG, we LOVE you guys!



This is seriously exciting and the best news EVER... 
we have extended the Customer Appreciation Sale! 

So now you can come in and ENJOY 20% OFF OF ANYTHING.
AND EVERYTHING
UNTIL NOVEMBER 20th.


Why?  Well - we realized that one week was just not enough! Even though we have all our SOL girls in full force during the Customer Appreciation Sale, we still noticed that the very people we appreciate so much (that's YOU) were having to wait too long for fittings. Our whole purpose of this sale is to show you how much we love you, and nobody loves waiting.

So, now mosey on in anytime from now until the 20th, and the discount applies. To everything. And the crowds will be a little smaller so you can enjoy yourself even more. It's a great time to come in and pick out something great for the ladies in your life - or to send in your loved one to get you exactly what you want this year...because no-one really wants to unwrap a Crock-Pot. 

To make your shopping even more fun - don't forget our Sale Survival Tips!
DO NOT PAY FOR PARKING.
Just don't! Because we do, sillies! Our kiosks have gone the way of the dodo bird, and you'll find "Smart Meters" in their place. And they need tokens....park the car, run in and get some from us! Every SOL girl's got a pocket o' tokens and we LOVE to share them!

THE WAIT LIST.
We want you to get every bit of attention you deserve - afterall, this is YOUR sale - and you're the reason we're extending it to the 20th. The first thing you should do (after asking for parking tokens) is get your name on the list! Our super fab hostess will get your name and mobile phone number and give you a call the minute a fitting room is open. Wait times always vary - but the experienced SOL shopper knows weekday wait times are often lots shorter.

BRING A FRIEND.
Because then, waiting is really visiting and a quick trip to CCN becomes Girls' Day Out!

This is the most important one...REMEMBER WE LOVE YOU.
We truly do appreciate each and every one of our loyal SOL customers. It's why we have this sale, it's why we get up in the morning. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
