Every year around this time, we do something a little special at TD—but this year hits different.
To celebrate making 42, Terrell’s giving y’all 42% off for 42 minutes. But before the countdown starts, we’re flipping the mic and asking her the questions.
From style confessions to birthday chaos, personal growth, and what’s next for the brand—this edition of The Dope Guide is all about getting real, having fun, and celebrating.
Here are 42 questions with Terrell —unfiltered, unapologetic, and a must read:
1. Why a 42% off sale?
It’s just a play on the age I’m making. Also, I think it’s catchy and easy to remember.
2. What’s the story behind the “42 minutes” part?
It’s another nod to me making 42. But if you’re asking about the flash sale part .....listen, as a small business, running a sale this big is risky. But we love doing it. So we figured we’d meet in the middle—give our customers a treat without overextending ourselves. Plus, I love flash sales. They’re exciting. Like old-school Supermarket Sweep type energy.
3. Is this the biggest sale TD has ever done?
Yes! Every year it gets bigger.
4. What’s one thing people should know before shopping?
Some of the pieces won’t restock.
5. How do you recommend shopping the sale?
Plan it out ahead of time—it’s a flash sale, so you gotta move fast.
6. Do you think people sleep on the TD sale?
Nope. Our style gang loves this sale. Every year it grows.
7. What’s your favorite piece that’s included?
The black denim balloon top. Easy.

The TD Puff Pants are in heavy rotation.
9. First-time shopper? What should they buy?
The Balloon Top in light denim. That’s the one.
10. Do you shop your own sales?
Haha, no. I’m the model and keep most of the samples—I already own everything!
11. What does making 42 feel like?
Mixed emotions. I feel blessed, but also a little anxious.
12. Are you big on birthday celebrations or low-key?
I’m low-key by nature, so birthdays tend to follow that vibe.
13. Wildest birthday party moment?
At my 11th birthday slumber party, two guests had a full-blown fight. Knocking down shit...Grade A chaos.
14. A birthday you’ll never forget?
My 40th. I had a great time—but probably wouldn’t do it like that again.
15. Any birthday traditions?
Not really… but that’s a good idea. I’m starting one this year.
16. How do you reflect or reset on your birthday?
I actually don’t. I usually just keep it moving. But maybe I should start.
17. What would 22-year-old you be shocked to learn?
That I have a husband and kids. I never dreamed of that, so seeing my name with this “big girl life” is wild—and cool.
18. How are you celebrating this year?
My husband has something planned. I’m just waiting to see!

Yes.

Life moves fast.
32. What’s something you no longer believe?
That you can’t mix metals in jewelry.
33. What still makes you nervous?
Every time I drop a new piece, I get a second of doubt—wondering if people will love it like I do. But I don’t sit with it long.
34. What are you proud of—even if no one knows?
That I’ve never stopped chasing my dreams, even in the middle of uncertainty.
