Boogaloos

Boogalooloo!
Been meaning to stop in here forever and I finally did, today. Avoiding finding wifi and doing fun tasks for a few minutes, I stopped in for a peek.
First, the cutest, nicest girls work here. After we commiserated on why, exactly, Cup (the only coffee store ever in TB) flopped, I took a pass around the store.
So many pretties I would buy if I had a shopping budget (that’s another story) — including the chic dress I put up as a picture for you. Swingy tops — so transitional! — and really, all the pieces of clothing I’d buy from dresses to tops and more. One thing I did notice is that there really isn’t a jeans selection. Kinda odd, but there are other boutiques I can visit for that.
Pretty, reasonably priced jewelry selection, especially in necklaces.
Overall, quite reasonable prices, for the kind of pretty stuff they have (not the kind of place you visit for work basics, on the whole — except for that dress I found).
Fun, charming gift selection of the fancy candle and soap variety.

I have been a Boogaloos customer in Decatur for years and finally checked out the new store. I love it! Same super friendly and personal service, great selection, and I love the design and feeling of the store. They carry a few different brands from the Decatur store, so it is definitely worth checking it out. Contrary to what someone said above, I find that the price range for tops actually starts more around $ 50 and there are plenty of super cute dresses between $ 100 and $ 200.

Looking in the store windows and at a selection of their inventory online, I was in love. They carry Eva Franco, one of my favorite dress designers. Her pieces manage to be vintage and modern all at once and I just love them. When I saw that Boogaloos had a Scoutmob, I was thrilled at the thought of getting one for a bargain.
Unfortunately, while Eva’s size 12 always fits me like a glove, Boogaloos has apparently opted not to stock them. Or size 10s. Or really even size 8s. I think I found one dress in a size large in the entire store, and I saw one size 10 from Max & Cleo: they make up to a size 16. Maybe the bigger sizes go first. Maybe a gaggle of size 10 and 12 girls came through and bought out the entire store. But my guess is that this isn’t the case and that Boogaloos chooses to stock sizes 0 – 6 predominantly. And that makes me sad.
I don’t know if this is a problem at their other location, but I know that even with the Scoutmob I won’t be coming back here unless I hear that this was a weird fluke. I wouldn’t be writing this review if it was just the 12s that they didn’t have, but the fact that it was sooo skewed toward small really made me frustrated and annoyed. A bummer, for sure.
For those of you who *are* able to shop here, FYI: the majority of dresses are in the $ 200-​$ 250 range and cutesy tops are about $ 90+. But, really great quality and beautiful stand-​alone pieces.

If you’re looking for a pretty dress to wear for a wedding or special occasion, check out this place. Thanks to Scoutmob for making me aware that Boogaloos opened a 2^nd boutique in Brookhaven’s new Town shopping center. The space is gorgeous esp. the dressing rooms — each like its own parlor! You’ll have to see for yourself to understand. I loved too that the service was very friendly, helpful, attentive, and personal — not snobby like some boutiques.
No surprise, the clothes is expensive — but not terribly. I don’t know if I saw anything on sale. However I liked so many things and I found things that I could see myself wearing. (FYI — I usu. have a hard time finding something in boutiques.) I fell in love with a Jackie O dress which fit perfectly, and the perfect dress to wear for my dad’s 80^th birthday party … and thanks to Scoutmob, it was an easy decision :)
FYI — they’re located in the very back of the shopping center on the left side.
