How cool is our friend Ivy Kimble, this week’s “Wear Your Character” profile? Ivy is not only an American Girl model, but she is also very involved in GiGi’s Playhouse in Tinley Park. Ivy’s determination and spunk make her a joy to be around. She’s got a no-nonsense attitude and when she sets her mind to something, nothing can stop her. She has no fear and is authentically Ivy to everyone she meets.

Ivy doesn’t give up and truly wears her character in our “Gritty” t-shirt.  Let’s get to know her a little better...

At Makoshey, we designed these ideal blend, single word t-shirts for girls like Ivy and you so you can be yourself and inspire others. The Power Word Collection also featuresIndependent, Adventurous, Strong, Kind, Fearless, Courageous, Curious, Goal Oriented, Creative and Sporty, with more coming soon.  We thought it would be fun to tell the stories of awesome girls who inspire us to be the best possible version of ourselves. These girls wear their character out loud and deserve celebrating!
