For thirty-two years, the Navy decided where I lived. Every summer, no matter where we were stationed, I'd find my way into the local shops — and every time I helped a woman find something that made her stop and look twice, something in me exhaled.

Three years ago a small storefront opened up here in Coronado. Jim looked at me across the kitchen table and said four words: "Carol. Just do it."

So I did.

Now I'm sixty-seven, and it's time to retire.

Not because something went wrong.

Because something went beautifully right — and after thirty-two moves, I know when it's time to be still.

This is my retirement sale. Every piece I ever chose for this boutique was chosen with one woman in mind — the real one, not the one on the hanger. That hasn't changed.

Everything must go, at 75% off — the lowest prices I've ever offered.

Find something that makes you stop. Trust that feeling. I built this whole place around exactly that moment.

With love,
Carol Bennett
