Excuse me? Every single other clothing boutique ever created? Listen up. You're gonna want to hear…read morethis. Because THIS is how you run a women's clothing boutique. Actually, I'm going to write it in bullet form, because I could write an entire "Boutique Making for Dummies" book about this place, but that's long and boring. You're probably already reading this on your phone or at work going "SPIT IT OUT, LADY!" So, I'm gonna spit. Parc Boutique is the epitome of what every single women's boutique/clothing retailer should be: - It stocks a large selection of on-trend, adorable seasonal outfits; and offers them at very reasonable prices. - It hires the friendliest, most helpful employees who aren't just smiley, but who can give you an honest opinion when you're trying to decide between items. - The space itself is clean, bright, and well-designed. Whoever their interior designer is, can you please come over to my house immediately? KTHX. - They always have NEW merch. I can't believe how quickly and frequently they get new stuff in. It's fantastic! - They have a functioning website (which lots of small boutiques can't really support). - They have GREAT social media support (like a beautiful, inspiring Instagram account...it's definitely inspired a few purchases from me!) - They host rad events and trunk shows and open houses all the time! - And they have a great loyalty/rewards program where you get money back after you spend a certain amount of money. I love shopping here because even when I spend more than I "should," I love that it goes back to supporting a local shop instead of a big corporation. Plus, I know there won't be 2,000 other girls in the Twin Cities rocking the SAME look. It's just a really happy place, that stocks a variety of sizes and trends and items (dresses/pants/blouses/scarves/jewelry/shoes/hats/name a thing)! Yeah. I'm just relieved it's in Nordeast and not my neighborhood or I would probably be living out of a tent that I made using their clothes...

I wish that a fashion portal would open when I open my closet each morning. It'd be like Narnia,…read morewithout the lion or the witch... just the wardrobe. I'd just pop in to some awesome store, play dress up and then come back through my wardrobe like the Pevensie children. Anyway, Parc Boutique would definitely be one of my fashion portal stops. I follow the owner Thao on Twitter and Pinterest because she has amazing taste, so I should've known how much I'd like this store. It had been a while since my first visit to Parc (when I was young and broke), so my visit last week felt like the maiden voyage. There's a balance of affordability and higher-fashion style here, which I appreciate because that is a balance I try to find on a daily basis. There's a great selection of dresses, tops, jewelry, denim and more---all priced and curated well. The bauble table was where I had the most trouble saying goodbye. I saw the most interesting geometric pendant priced at about $75 (as usual, my eye wanders to one of the most expensive things on the table). Though I couldn't bring myself to drop the cash, I was compelled to put it on my Christmas list eight months in advance.

It has a collection of items that aren't from a same designer and quite high in quality and price but very good looking items. On my first random stop by, I found my new favorite two gloves, which match my outerwear perfectly and they're warm, look and feel amazing. I also got a fancy jacket here. Prices are high here but the quality is good. For my personal taste, some items are targeted for much older women, but you can find something here. The reason I gave 3 stars is cause of the stuck-up service. She was slow, checking you out top to bottom, super slow to ring me up and takes forever to just wrap and put in the bag. And there were people waiting behind me. If they up theirs service quality, it could really be a favorite spot for many people.

I had no idea what to expect, as it wasn't even listed on Yelp yet, but it has been open since February of 2022. OMG IT'S HUGE. They do costume rentals. The staff is really nice and helpful. I get the feeling this is a labor of love, as the woman who owns it is a theatrical costume designer. She said they bought out the stock from Theatrical Costume Company downtown (which I believe had bought out the stock from the old Teener's Theatricals, if anyone remembers that place) when they went out of business during the pandemic. If you are looking for a costume, check here first. They have an amazing selection and very knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be back often.

They offer internships, business experience, and more for the East African women in this non-profit's youth program. LOCATION: They're near U of M West Bank on the corner, and they have parking in the back behind the building. SPACE: It's a smaller space, but unlike other consignment shops it makes visiting digestible! It's one main room and then a bargain rack in the hall. VARIETY: I will say it's more skewed to smaller sized with not a ton of L and XL offerings, and perhaps a skew to basics and a younger crowd, but definitely still worth a look through! PRICES: Everything is under $12 - in the entire place! You can find many things for under $5 even. A great bargain, and you know your money is going to a great cause.

I stopped in a few days before Christmas, and I actually had a few things yet I wanted to get my grandpa, so this worked out great. At the entrance - and throughout the store - I found free hot coffee, tea, refreshments, cookies, and treats. Maybe it's just a holiday thing but I loved the hospitality. The space is HUGE - so much more than clothes! I had no idea. They have: - books and coffee table books - a whole room dedicated to perfume/cologne and scents - a whole area for cocktail-related gifts - home decor, tableware, and interior decor items - kitschy smaller giftables that were organized by theme (work/office, hosting, etc.) - menswear and womenswear - jewelry - candles - and so much more! I genuinely believe you can walk in here and be sure to find something for anyone on your gifting list. The service was incredible: lots of welcomes and greetings, and staff there to help you if you need it. Oh, they even have a room you can reserve while shopping?! FANCY!
