I love this place, and that means a lot coming from me because historically, I have hated to…read moreclothes shop (much to my daughter's chagrin-- she loves to shop... and every time she visits me she bemoans the fact that I have added nothing new to my closet). Well, thanks to Therapie Boutique, my daughter will have a pleasant surprise the next time she's in town!
I discovered Therapie via their truck on the Square one Market Day and found these cool bralettes with funky straps that solve the.... um.... *coverage* problem that can occur with sleeveless shirts and dresses. I found those bralettes outside and some cute shirts and then went inside the truck to look at the other stuff (such an appealing variety of clothing!), but then I felt guilty because hubby was waiting patiently on the courthouse lawn and it was pretty hot out after all. (And he seemed to be enviously eyeing a nearby dog's water dish, which is never a good sign.)
Well, Kelly (Kellie? I apologize if I'm misspelling your name!) let me know she had a brick-and-mortar place near the library, so of course that meant I could hydrate hubby and check out the shop a few days later, which I did. I picked more of those nifty bralettes in different colors.
Ostensibly I went in just for the bralettes, but I ended up leaving with a whole bunch of other stuff!! And that happened again after two more bralettes in new colors came in that Kelly set aside for me -- i came in just to ostensibly pick them up (hah!). I couldn't help browsing, and, since I have years of almost no-shopping to make up for, a bought a few more things. And shopping is fun here bc the clothes are very cool. It is like therapy!!
Kelly is terrific. She is a consummate pro, wonderful with people, remembers who you are and what you like, she has fabulous taste and a keen aesthetic eye (she has helped me decide on things/combinations when I'm stuck, and she can articulate why certain combos work, which is a talent I don't have), and she's personable and kind too. Also, I love love love her selection-- there's something for everyone in here. Whether you're looking for dressy or casual or fun or funky or subdued or some combo, you'll find it here. And in case you wanted frosting on your boutique cake, the prices are so reasonable for this kind of quality clothing!
Although the styles are very much contemporary, I feel like I've stepped back in time when I visit Therapie, because Kelly has mastered the art of old-fashioned, exemplary customer service.
Thank you, Kelly! I know what you do isn't easy!
