About Us

Hey, welcome!! My name is Shaylee and I'm the one behind Grit + Gals Boutique. When I was 18, I had a vision of opening a boutique to help pay for my out-of-state tuition. Working three jobs and a semester later is when this adventure began. And boy, oh boy.. Has it been just that. But a dang good one!

Grit. One of my all time favorite words. I once saw a quote that read "Grit: The stubborn refusal to quit." and automatically loved it. Maybe I love it so much because I'm a pretty stubborn person myself and that made being stubborn sound like somewhat of a good thing for once. Or maybe because it said "refusal to quit" which I think can be pretty powerful. Either way, I started doing more research on this grit word that I became so obsessed with. Passion and perseverance was always tied to this word, which made me love it even more. I think having grit is a pretty dang cool thing to have. I hope you persevere with or without wearing a piece from Grit + Gals Boutique.  

Now a little about me. Like I said, I'm Shaylee! I was a bit of a nomad in my college years. I bounced back and forth from Idaho, Montana, and Washington. I graduated with a degree in Agricultural Education and dreamt of being a teacher since the second grade. My little side hustle became more of a small business and I felt called to run with it. I put teaching on pause and put my all into G+G. God has blessed me and Grit + Gals with such a supportive community and I am constantly filled with gratitude. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and more importantly, thank you for supporting Grit + Gals!
