Coco Chanel was a French designer and a businesswoman who ruled the Parisian haute couture for about sixty years. She is known for the classic innovations, including the quilted purse, the woman's suit, the “little black dress,” and costume jewelry. She was nicknamed “Coco” during her years as a singer.

We salute all women for Women’s History Month, but here we will highlight a few women that made history in Fashion for the Month of March.

Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978. The organizers selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day. The movement spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year. In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th 1980 as National Women’s History Week.

As I am writing this blog, I am thinking how Meadow Boutique and Shelley Hall have made history in a way. Besides being a women owned business in the Queen Anne neighborhood for 13 years, Shelley has survived the COVID restraints that lasted 3 years and now a fire in the building that lead us to a pop-up at Wink Salon. History is the study of change over time, and it covers all aspects of human society. I think we have created that here in Queen Anne. Thanks so much helping us make history. All the amazing women we have met have made a contribution to Meadow Boutique’s history, so for that, we thank you.

What’s new this week at Meadow?

See below the pieces from CHERISH, AEMI + CO, NEW IN and LOVE TREE. Is there something that you might want to add to your wardrobe?

If you haven’t been by to see the Meadow Pop-Up, you must stop by and have a look. Some have commented that they like it better because it’s smaller and it makes it easier for them to decide what to buy. There’s a little bit of everything at the pop-up and you will be happy with what we have to offer. There’s always something new like before, so don’t be discouraged of the size of the shop. Wink Hair Salon has been a great place for us to be part of for now. Rebecca and Leslie have welcomed us with open arms and for that we are grateful. It’s funny how things work out, just when you think things have gone up in flames, you find warmth and comfort in a new place. We look forward to seeing you soon and showing off our new Mini Meadow! xoxoxox

“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.” – Oprah Winfrey
