Boutique shopping has become a whole new industry thanks to Facebook and Pinterest. I have found a whole new world of online shops thanks to other people's "Likes", "Shares" and "Pins" of different boutiques. Boutiques are a great place to pick up pieces that you may not find at the big box stores. Most boutiques I shop at are out of state. I simply follow them on Facebook and watch for items to be posted that I like, then I'll either click, email or call to order. Of course there is always a risk that the item might not work because you can't try it on until you get it, and often times there are no reviews of any sort to read, so I try to stick to items that are inexpensive and that I think I can make work even if it runs a bit big or small. To date I've been pretty lucky with the items I have purchased. There is the occasional disappointment but none so big that I have regret over.
One item that I purchased from a boutique a few months ago has become a great staple layering piece in my closet. Last week I pulled out my ivory semi-sheer polka dot top and paired it with a bold bottom and fun statement necklace to brighten it up a bit.

Have you joined in on the boutique bandwagon? What are some of your favorite shops? Here's a list with links of some of the boutiques I watch (some are the FB pages and some are the actual sites):
(Disclaimer--I am not endorsing any of these shops and have not purchased through all of them myself. They are simply a sampling of the boutiques I like to look at and occasionally order from).
Happy Browsing! =)
I just found Bella Ella through FB! I can't wait to be back in normal clothes and order a few items for summer!
ReplyDeleteI remember that feeling of just wanting to wear normal clothes again! Hope the end is near for ya!!!
DeleteBella Ella. They are just down the street! I love their clearance rack, and they have a great bin that has clothes that have a small thing wrong with them, like missing a button. Their jewelry is the main reason I shop there. And the coupons I get in the mail.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to live so close!!!
DeleteKoo De Ker is not far from me. Fun place to shop!
