love at first "real" sight
Written By: Kim
I finally have the catalyst to write you all. I live in the Austin, Texas area. I remember when Blue Fish was in the Arboretum area...I saw women walking around in these really cool outfits and wishing I could shop there. I was always so intimidated to even just look in the window. My kids had been after me for awhile to "stop dressing like a Mom," but, I just couldn't justify the expense, or get my nerve up to even go into the shop. Six years ago, we planned a family vacation to New Mexico and Colorado. I knew the shop had been closed here, but I had seen a small advertisement in the back of a magazine somewhere, and looked up "Blue Fish" online. There you were...and I planned a day trip into Taos and made a beeline to the shop. It was love at first "real" sight. Farah was so nice and so helpful...I really miss her...and everyone else since then has been wonderful and helpful and amazing. I am the proud owner of a whole Blue Fish wardrobe, now. I get tons of compliments and I am always finding new people who remember the Austin shop and thought Blue Fish was gone forever...they are pleasantly surprised to know about your online store and permanent shops. Many of us still adamantly declare that the Austin shop should return...and that I should work there permanently :o) (Seriously...I WILL work for clothes...) I'm a huge fan and will probably always sing the praises of Blue Fish. I will try to get some pictures together and mail them...I have no way to email them...but, just know you have a groupie in Round Rock, Texas...
