MILTON — Opening a small business takes courage. But realizing six months later that it wasn’t right for you and then making the decision to fix the problem rather than giving up requires both courage and resilience. Amy Kelley, owner of Sunny & Olive at 649 College Street, Milton, has both.

In June 2022, Kelley opened Sunny & Olive as a size-inclusive clothing boutique for women. A full-time photographer at the time, she said that opening a boutique came out of left field for her but was sparked by her own frustration in finding plus-sized clothing in the stores, especially boutiques.
