2.5. I just don't get it. I've seen their Harvard store, I like it better, but not that much…read morebetter. First of all, I can't walk into this store without getting really claustrophobic. So yeah, they cram it full of cute stuff so there's a lot of selection but I don't think I have even made it to the back of this incredibly tiny store yet because I feel like the clothing is going to cave in on me. Actually, I think that may be the reason I have such negative feelings about this store. Then there's pricing. Ha. Ridiculous. Really. Ridiculous. Even their accessories are way overpriced for what they are. Also, there's a cute bead shop down the way that I frequent - some of the jewelry here (all handmade, I suppose) was made with components they sell at the bead shop a few doors away. Yeah, and marked up like 80 bazillion percent. Tacky. Also, the clothes are adorable. But I have tits. Their stuff is cut to fit 12 year olds or rich Brookline women with bodies like 12 year olds. And yes, most of the girls who I see shopping there are the college-aged, not quite done with puberty, daddy pays for everything crowd. Don't know that I would want to dress like them even if I could. It's like a preppier version of Anthropologie without the charm.

I found myself in Mint Julep today after months of seeing it and wondering what they carried. I'm…read moreso thrilled! I finally decided to go inside because I heard they'd be carrying a line that I like, and I come to find out that they carry several! I bought two simply GORGEOUS scarves that were actually priced lower than what I initially expected. A lot of the reviews of this place just do not do it justice! Let's clear it up. Is this boutique "too expensive"? NO! It's only too expensive if you're not familiar with the brands that it carries. These pieces are not overpriced or marked high beyond other retailers. Additionally, I saw at least one brand that's very hard to find in the US. The simple fact that I would be able to try on pieces from that brand without having to buy them up front and pay for shipping from Europe is a huge positive. Is the store "too cramped"? Hardly. It's a small store, but they have a very clean, beautiful layout. I was in there with two staff, a delivery guy, and probably four other shoppers, and I still had plenty room to be off in my own little world. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the store. Are the employees "rude and unfriendly"? Not at all!! My goodness. Quite the opposite. One woman behind the desk greeted me immediately and asked if I needed anything, another smiled at me, and I made conversation later (twice) and was met with receptive faces and eager replies both times. One of the women was less talkative, but she was busy and I wasn't talking with her directly. She did smile and look up and even laugh, though. She was far from rude. Basically, this is a lovely store, and you've probably got to be pretty rude yourself to think that the employees are rude. Additionally, if you're out of touch with the brands or the prices of pieces like what's carried at Mint Julep, you might think it's overpriced, but it's really not.

Also, I'm not writing this review for you, so pipe down. And I'm only kind of writing this review for my wife, who ACTUALLY looks good in these dresses. I'm writing this review for me. Selfish as it may seem, I don't care if this shop has the sweetest staff that always helps their customers find whatever it is they are looking for, and makes smart suggestions about other items that might be of interest. I do care a little bit that for some reason, they always happen to stock at least a couple dresses that make my wife look absolutely stunning.* But I really, truly care about not having to wander up and down Newbury Street in the rain, searching for this boutique that we come back to every time we're in Boston. Now that I've written this review, I will remember this dress shop, and we can just come straight here and avoid wandering into other, inferior boutiques. Also, there's a stool in the corner where I can write this review as my wife shops. I like sitting down. _____________ *That should probably be reversed. My wife makes those dresses look good.

"Thrifty Threads" is run by a mafia of neurotic middle aged women with an intensity that only years…read moreof housewifery can yield. On the surface, they appear sweet and sociable--but don't be fooled--beneath their bubbly exteriors you'll find some of the feistiest hustlers in the greater Boston area. Usually I'm a sucker for petty flattery and all the other bells and whistles of small talk--I certainly won't say no to being gassed up--but the way these ladies do it is sickeningly sweet. They don't talk so much as cluck, and they don't flatter so much as badger. Several months ago, I found a silver ring that was slightly underpriced. Almost immediately, nostrils twitching at the scent of a good bargain, one of the ladies greedily extracted it from between my pincered fingers like a seagull snatching away a hot dog mid-bite. When she saw I was startled, she explained that she could not permit anything to be underpriced, and that she'd have to thoroughly inspect the ring to ensure that I wasn't getting away with a deal. I glared at her, and she began to squirm, until, unable to stand the unspoken tension any longer, she erupted into a jittery rant about some tragic episode where someone bought a casserole dish for $25 and resold it for $50. She was in utter disbelief that someone would dare reap a profit off a church sale, the proceeds of which go towards funding Monday night bingo. Judging by the moral conviction in her voice, the proceeds might as well have been going to the starving children of Guatemala or something like that. Apparently, a few weeks ago, all hell broke loose at one of these bingo nights when the sought-after prize--a $50 Olive Garden gift card--went missing. One of the players, Doris, who had finally won for the first time in all her bingo-going years, was heartbroken. Because the church didn't have $50 to spare for a replacement, she was offered the next best thing: a basket with an assortment of cheeses from Wegman's. Doris was insulted by the consolation prize and refused to claim the cheeses. The award committee, having a "you get what you get and you don't get upset" attitude, publicly scolded Doris for her lack of gratitude. Once a pillar of the community, Doris hasn't stepped foot in the church since, and things just haven't been the same. The remaining church goers have factionalized into those who are pro-Doris and those who are anti-Doris. But even within the factions, mistrust abounds--to this day, no one knows who stole the gift card. I just wanted to make a basic transaction. Instead, I got pinned to the wall with manic tales about uneaten cheese and a gift card heist. Thankfully, I was able to pry myself from the conversation before this lady went off the deep end. In all my years of attending sales, I've never seen anyone describe the machinations of the church sale business with such nervous momentum. I honestly could not tell if this lady needed to stop taking drugs or start taking drugs. They're so paranoid that a sliver of jewelry might fly under the radar that they even installed a watchguard to patrol the "FREE" table, in case someone drops off a donation of value. Their guard of choice is a hawk-eyed 80-year old lady, who, judging by her accent, comes from some defunct Eastern European country. She embodies her role with the ferocity of a vulture, as though she's tapping into her muscle memory of fighting over skimpy rations during communist times. Just as I thought all hope was lost, a gentleman dropped off a bag of jewelry at the "FREE" table. I quickly grabbed a few pieces when, out of nowhere, the watchguard granny swooped in and lunged at the jewelry bag with the determination of someone who's won blood feuds over canned meat. When she spied the few crumbs of jewelry I'd scooped, she plucked them from my clasped hand without saying a word, and fled the scene before I could object. I remember reading somewhere that mothers have the ability to summon strength way beyond their capabilities when they see their young are in danger, at times even lifting cars to save their children. I'm convinced that a similar principle applies to penny-pinching grannies when their chance for a bargain is threatened.

I regret letting that much time go by, because the clothes are so unique and curated so well... you'll never find pieces like these elsewhere! The shop owner, Karen, and her shop assistant Chloe were helpful. Chloe selected some items for me without being pushy. I found a lot of cute pieces (with varying levels of success after trying them on), and one item was so amazing I had to buy it. The prices are a range. I tried on 2 cute tanks and they were $25 and $40. The dress I bought was $74. I don't mind paying a bit more for something that I truly love, especially when it's unique! Some other prices I saw were in the $150-200 range, which is a bit steep... but again, some of the pieces looked like they were one of a kind. Most sizes DO say small, but I'm a size 10 and there were plenty of things that fit me just fine, so I wouldn't assume they cater only to smaller women. I also got a free gift with my purchase- a cute little round wallet! Very fun.
