Mia’s Boutique

Super fun, fancy, little Boutique.
Since I’ve moved downtown, I’ve had the lovely pleasure of strolling into this little shop quite a few times. I LOVE it here. Located right on the waterfront.
When the weather is nice there are sales racks outside the store for easy browsing.
Once inside the ambiance is very inviting with soft lights and scented candles. Sometimes you’re greeted most promptly, sometimes not. The clothes are super fun and mixed about, young and older styles interspersed. There are FANCY styles along with COZY casual styles. I ALWAYS enjoy myself.
The jewelry is also mixed in style and spread throughout the store. I have an earring addiction.
The owner/​manager could probably be a little more forthright in decreasing prices on items that have an obvious flaw or off stitch. I always feel like a pain, when I point these things out.
The product is super fun. I’ll be back again and again.

Went for a long walk across the river, with hubby, I don’t need to wear make-​up, just going for a walk! That’s all! Instead, we end up going for a long, long walk, shopping every boutique, and having lunch at the Riverplace! Only after I’ve had lunch, went in the bathroom, before we start out the door walk back home, did I noticed, I’m a fashion police, for the first time I didn’t have my makeup on. OMG! Was I insecure? Well, what woman isn’t! I didn’t even have my sunglasses, but I did have lipstick on, to protect my lips!
Anyway, here I was, just browsing, and window shopping, but I NEEDED to go inside, to check the dress I saw on the window, something I’d wear!
No, I didn’t buy that sexy dress! Instead, I end up buying 4 sale outfits, 40% off extra. And the best thing is they came in MY size! Did I just got lucky?
UPDATE: I’m deducting 2 stars, since they are very rude on the phone!

How much is that blue dress in the window?
That is the thought that has been on my mind for months. Perfect for summer and just out of reach. I’m not what you’d call an impulse shopper. I enjoy the exquisite agony of waiting. Of course, this sometimes backfires and the item is sold out, but usually the ‘chase’ provides a little motivation.
One of the issues that prevented immediate purchase is that the majority of my visits are when I’m arriving at the river and the store was closing for the evening and I wasn’t in a position to carry the dress around. I’ve been in the store numerous times, usually looking like a river rat (baseball cap, PFD, paddle), and the staff couldn’t be nicer.
While my magical blue dress hasn’t been on sale yet, they are always having a sidewalk sale where items are roughly 50% off. Considering this is a boutique, any reduction helps. I really like the selection of fun and flirty dresses and one of these days, the little blue dress will be mine.
