Welcome to the August Edition of the monthly "Coffee with Kariann" post!
Pour a cup, grab a seat, and join me as we chat and catch up on all the latest SCD news & updates!
𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒑 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒑!
The Summer Soirée Collection, Part 2 was so much fun and a huge success!
Our second largest single drop to date! Thank you so much for joining us!
We had significantly increased inventory for these past two drops, and have as well for the coming ones, in order to prepare for some exciting marketing ahead. Stay tuned for those details- they are so very exciting and some of you may be able to join in on something that is planned!
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒔!
Without giving too much away just yet, here are a few highlights!
• We are so excited for many commissioned and some exclusive prints coming up in a swoon-worthy gorgeous line-up of late summer/autumn drops underway for August-October!
• This next collection is a transitional one— you will see two lovely dresses that are more summery as we close out the warmest month of the year for many, and then the other dresses are more transitional, fall, or year-around prints.
To end the “what’s in the works” news, here are five juicy hints about our very next drop—
𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓟𝓮𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓼𝓹𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓒𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷!!
• If you loved the vibe of Simply Jane, the saga continues!
• 🖤🖤🖤🖤
• Are you ready for the first two voted-on prints we promised to bring back?!
(Not in voting order, these will be brought back in order of how they fit seasonally!)
Delicate. Minimalistic. Romantic. If that’s your kind of print, this one was made with you in mind.
• A riddle for a hint:
I’m sweet as a cupcake, with spots all around,
My collar is crisp, my charm is renowned.
In pink I parade with a 1940’s flair—
Guess who’s waltzing in with polka-dot flair?
𝑺𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒖!

𝑨 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒑!
• The next drop will be in August— very very soon!

Buckle up for a fun ride- it is about to go DOWN!!
𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔:
• As always, all of us on the team greatly appreciate your prayers for energy & work/life balance.
This is a challenge for every single one of us, and we are often stretched thin.
• Please pray for wisdom in running and growing SCD and for the many big things 2025 holds.
• Please pray for health and healing.
• Please pray that we are a light and an encouragement to those around us, both in-person and online.
• Please pray for our family for rest and a chance to fully unplug as we leave soon for the next two weeks on what will be the second vacation we’ve been able to take in almost a decade and a half! It is sorely needed. Please pray for our wonderful online and warehouse teams as they hold down the fort in our absence and even handle a drop without us! They will do great, but l know they would appreciate a little extra encouragement from time to time!
• Please pray for the ministries that SCD is blessed to support. You can read more about one of them here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Adojync9B/?
• Please enjoy the group prayer thread for this month where members are welcome to share what is on their heart and we join together in prayer and encouragement for one another!

𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒔:
