I only just learned the name of this cute store. After three times asking people (at random) where they purchased a unique clothing item, I finally learned today that place to shop is The Find. A woman at church had the most beautiful skirt and she couldn't remember the name of the boutique and thought it had been in Independence. A woman with adorable and fashionable overalls said they were a gift, but she thought they came from a local boutique. Today I saw some very unique and flowy pants on one of my kids' teachers. She said, "The Find! It's in Monmouth and you'll love all their stuff if you love these!" I didn't make it through the door without grabbing a few items off the sale rack outside. The store smells heavenly! They sell candles, I think. I was so focused on the selection of beautiful clothes! I have been buying Free People & Anthropologie for YEARS and always used. I'm telling you... their items are that and better AND more bang for your buck! So unique and well-made! Kayley (sorry I probably spelled it wrong) was like my own personal shopper. I'm not a person who will go along with trends, I just know what I like and I buy it. She asked if she could take my bag, get me some water, help me with the stack of clothes suddenly ornamenting my arm. I honestly felt like a kid in a candy store. I have a large chest and shopping can be frustrating. Kayley found the shirts that had stretch or were the right size for me and I felt a little uncomfortable at first (because I'm a mom and nobody waits on me), but it truly was just the best experience. I'm bringing my teen daughter in, this weekend. I really had a great time shopping and it felt like I did so with friends. I noticed as I was trying on a million things, that the girls in the shop were chattering about their weekend plans, upcoming holidays, and various tasks. No loud complaining, no dirty looks, no gossip. It felt like another world when I heard music that wasn't talking about hookup culture. So many locals and regulars came in and all I hear from the back is a cheery voice or two greeting people by name. I was like "whoa is this Stars Hollow or something?" Truly, I'm so impressed and they'll not be able to keep me away from now on! Thank you to Charlotte too! Such sweet kids! read more
