Fashion Friday: Ode to Telluride

15 Mar Fashion Friday: Ode to Telluride

Fashion Friday 2.0 brings back a popular TIO fashion blog, first featuring Kristin Holbrook of Telluride’s Two Skirts, now brought to you by Erin Busbee and sponsored by Kristin and Two Skirts.

What goes around…

This week – well actually it happened a few weeks ago – Erin shares some exciting news: a gap year option turned into a major lifestyle change: a move from Texas to Telluride.

So Erin won’t be sharing her insider fashion and beauty tips. You have to go to her blog page for that. Instead she explains her reasons for transplanting her family from red dirt country to the mountains.

Which of and in itself is, uh, moving to those of us who are now Erin’s friends and neighbors.

Welcome to the ‘hood girlfriend.

More about Two Skirts:

Two Skirts is a high-end women’s boutique with two locations: Telluride, Colorado and San Francisco, California. The store carries apparel, accessories, make-up, shoes, and jewelry.

It is fair to say that the history of Two Skirts began down the road a piece: Kristin followed the man who became her husband, (Kevin), who followed his ski school client, Joanne Brown, from Vail to Telluride.

“Kevin decided Telluride was going to be the next great place, so he moved to town in 1998. I followed in 1999 with a desire to open a business for two reasons: 1) I wanted to have something of my own to keep me in this remote town since I knew my husband would never leave; and 2), the timing seemed right to become an entrepreneur in Telluride,” explained Kristin.

Kristin approached Joanne about partnering in a women’s boutique.

The concept for Two Skirts was born in 2000.
