Have you ever stopped into a store "just because?"…read more That's pretty much what triggered a recent visit to Butler-Tarkington's Lunch Money Boutique, one of the more recent additions to this perfectly lovely area that specializes in luxury children's clothing from newborn to size 16. Lunch Money Boutique emphasizes sustainable fashion for the kiddos (Am I the only one who wrestles with whether to spell it as kiddos or kiddoes?). Lunch Money is located next to Byrne's Grilled Pizza. I really do love this corner, though it's definitely more of a premium corner in terms of shopping. Lunch Money? The styles are adorable (and yes, leaning toward "luxury"). The employees are friendly. The store itself is nicely designed and a genuinely pleasing atmosphere. I'm not sure what it says about me that these newborns have better fashion sense than I do, but if their parents shop here it's definitely true. For those with mobility issues, entering from the back is your best option in terms of accessibility. There is a step up-front. It's my one major downer for this entire neighborhood - it's just not particularly wheelchair friendly. I didn't end up buying anything on this visit, though I undoubtedly would. If you're looking for more premium options and care about sustainability, I'd definitely recommend a visit here. As an added plus, this is also the same building as Kids Ink. While I'm getting old enough that most of my friends don't have young children, on those occasions when I am looking for options for the children in my life I won't hesitate to return here.

Since it has opened I have stopped in a few times looking for gifts or something fun for one of my toddlers to wear. My favorite purchase is a UFO hair claw clip. The staff is friendly and the vibe makes you feel like a cool cat. For sure check out all of the clocks! After you do some shopping you might as well continue down the street for kid books at Kids Ink and pizza at Byrnes. Illinois Street has the best shops for a nice little afternoon in Indy.

On their website, you can book an appointment with a stylist.

So many options and tons of sizes!! Prices are a little high, but when buying from a boutique, we must remember, these funds are going to the business owner/staff and not some large corporation. The sale section has TONS of options. I fell in love with a wallet and may need to check them out online soon!

And let me tell you, folks, these threads are trendy, reasonably priced, and high quality. Each item is stitched with the woman's name that sewed it in the back. It's basically like wearing a global hug. The shop itself is cozy and bright, and the sales associates friendly. Definitely worth a stop!

The inside is amazingly neat with an entire wall of perfectly folded Levi jeans. They carry a vast selection of Carhartt, Wrangler, Lee and any western ware that you can imagine. They carry attire for men, women and kids. I hate buying jeans that don't fit, so it's great that they have a wide range of sizes and styles in stock that you can try on. I thought that prices are on the high side, but about what you'd expect for quality wear. Currently, winter clothes are on clearance. The staff friendly. We were greeted when we entered the store. They let us wander and look throughout the store. There's plenty of parking in their private lot.

Today I bought another belt because my waist keeps getting smaller from weight loss and a Western style shirt. The shirt was only half of the price of the newer Western shirts too. FYI: They have fitting rooms and mirrors scattered throughout the store. My sister shops here as well for her husband's and son's work clothes, jeans and work T-shirts. Those three guys are hard on work clothes so she's here often. She has been a loyal customer for years so that's one reason I started coming here after moving back to Indiana from Arizona. Now I find myself coming back again and again.

There's wedding dresses, mother-of-the-bride dresses, flower girl dresses, and tons of accessories including clutches, shoes and earrings. They have some casual clothes as well. Truly a one stop shop for your special night! Two fitting rooms nestled in the store allow you to play dress up and try on until you say yes to the dress. Their prices are the best part, if someone had told me about DCB in my high school days I wouldn't have overspent as much as I did, such amazing pieces at truly affordable prices. I saw lots of gowns marked down and also under the $100 range. The owner has been in business since 2002, and even though I didn't get to chat with her, I spoke with her cousin who was hard at work steaming and refreshing some pieces. So much detail goes into these gowns it's so nice to see the effort behind keeping each piece spotless and glamorous. Before you head out of the city or go to those tiresome and monotonous pop up prom shops check out DCB on the Southside, you'll be amazed at the selection of gorgeous dresses and your wallet will thank you!

When I was in Friday they were in the process of switching over to fall attire. Lots of gorgeous blouses and dresses in fall colors, florals and jewel colors with sunglasses, jewelry, booties, hats, scraves and sweaters to accessorize that new outfit. I received a warm greeting as I entered the spacious shop. Since it was my first visit the young lady explained where each size group was located from small to plus sizes, and where to find different accessories. I always enjoy a store that I can go directly to my size and not waste time. Each area was organized well and easy to shop. Love the barn door dressing rooms too. A great spot where you can build a stylist outfit head-to-toe quickly or grab a few items to update an existing piece. I look forward to returning soon to browse the new items.
