I'm hoping it will pick up with time. As far as success - the fact is that I just don't like the style of what people are selling a lot of - the 90s floral print dresses, super emo style grandma stuff, etc - it's just not me!! I don't want to sell it! So I think that's a lot of it, as well - what's popular right now isn't what I like. I have to say though - 2 years ago when I tried to sell harem pants and jumpsuits and no one liked them -- but they mysteriously like them now? Pffftttt trends. Too old for that nonsense!!!
