I've Got a Question.

7.18.2011

So I've been getting a lot of compliments on this flower belt I've been wearing on the blog, and I had an idea...
but I need some input from you. 
If I were to make them and sell them on the blog for about $12, would you be interested in buying them?
I've very picky about what flowers I use, as I think this flower thing can look really cheap and cheesy, but I also think it can be beautiful if the flower is good quality.
It's a really great way to add texture to an outfit.
These are a few I've been working on and I love them so much that I'm going to have a hard time selling them, but I think I can go through with it if I know whoever's getting them is going to really appreciate them:
navy.
tribal.
grey. 

 So go ahead, tell me your thought!

I like tribal best. Are they real flowers? I like the idea, but I am not sure I would buy it for that much.

Heather F. Baham said...

i love the idea.  would you be buying the belt and flower or just the flower to attach to a belt?  i want the leopard belt like you've been wearing.  I would definitely buy one.

I would totally sell them!  If you are a bit nervous about having a bunch of supplies on hand and spending $ before you make a bunch then have a gallery of what is possible to make.  Then someone can order what they like and it would only take say...one or two or three days longer so you can assemble it!  LOVE them BTW.  When I get my pre pregnancy waist back I would rock one.  Right now, I couldn't even imagine one around my thick waist!
