I can only put it down to having a Mid-life crisis - most people would go out and buy a sports car or a convertible, but I decide to quit my job (of which I have held for nearly 20 years) and open a ladies boutique.
3 years on and it's been an incredibly exciting journey and a massive learning curve but I have been swept along and finally got my head around buying Spring/Summer collections in the autmn and Autumn/Winter collections in the spring, forward ordering, drop 1, drop 2 and in season buying.The sad little empty shop that I walked into has been transformed into an 'on trend' boutique and I can't wait to visit the 'Pure' and 'Moda' trade fairs again!.
