1. Clothes 24/7/365.

Being surrounded by clothes every single day is honestly one of the best feelings. I get to work in a store where I enjoy every moment I am there. Working in a clothing store and seeing all the new clothes that come in is such a plus for me because I live for clothes and fashion. At my job, Sophie and Trey, we put out new clothing every day, providing our customers with a variety of options.

I'm the kind of girl to dress up when there isn’t a reason to be dressed up, but because I love to stand out and be myself! For me, I am truly dressing to make myself happy, not to impress anyone. The items in all four of our stores allow people to dress up, dress down and dress like their true selves.

2. Working with happy people.

My fellow employees at Sophie and Trey are more than just my coworkers, but they have become my friends and even family. I love working with a group of girls who respect each other so much and appreciate all we do for one another. Working at this store for over two years has taught me so much and changed my perspective on retail as a whole. We always jump to help each other whenever needed. Our stores can get pretty busy and I love how if an employee is shopping, they will just jump in to help us with whatever is going on.

3. The discount!

We all know that the best pro to working in retail is that little discount you get. One of the benefits to working with clothes on the daily is getting to take some home at the end of the day! My whole wardrobe is from Sophie and Trey, so when I got the job my junior year, it only made my life better!

4. Styling and socializing with amazing customers.

I can truly say that I am blessed with the best customers. I hear people complain to me about their jobs and having to deal with rude customers, but I can say that the customers that come into our boutique are truly kind people. Customers come in with one purpose and that is to find an outfit to make their special event a great time with our clothes on. We truly thrive on customer service at Sophie and Trey and I couldn’t be prouder to be an employee. We love to get our customers involved by doing our Wear, Share, and Win contest on Instagram!

Coming into work and styling customers is one of the most fun and rewarding things. I can vividly remember a freshman coming in looking for a homecoming dress; she didn’t even know if she wanted to go and I worked with her for almost two hours and we found her that perfect dress. The moment she said “Thank you, I feel like a princess,” just made me the happiest to know that I was able to help her feel that way.
