Warmer weather is finally set to arrive and that means it's time to update your spring clothing choices! To find fun and unique pieces, we recommend that you hit up independent boutiques rather than big popular retailers. Here's our list of the reasons why, plus our favorite fun, independent clothing shops and boutiques throughout Morgan County. Each shop listed here carefully selects the styles they carry based on what's trending and what their customers prefer. Often what's in stock is more limited at small boutiques, but that's part of the fun - after all, who wants to look like everyone else? Shop these local businesses to find fun fashion and accessories personally chosen with you in mind.  

Why Shop Local Boutiques? 

If you've never considered the value of shopping locally owned boutiques rather than larger retailers, here's a handy list of the advantages to shopping smaller (and more locally): 

  • The Experience! At a department store, you're just another customer. At a local boutique, you get treated like a queen with customized and individualized attention. Many boutiques can track your purchases so they learn your personal style preferences - a big advantage when it's time for your significant other to shop for your birthday or Christmas gift. Just point them to your favorite boutiques - they'll be able to recommend items you're sure to love, based on your own purchase history. 
  • Boutiques are locally owned and operated, which means the profits aren't going to a corporate CEO. Instead they're going to someone in the local community who will also shop local, enriching the community as a whole. 
  • Items in a boutique are often unique and trendy styles that can't be found in a department store. They're chosen personally by the store owner and available in limited quantities, which means you'll never show up to an event dressed just like one of your girlfriends!
  • You become the trendsetter! Fashion is all about setting yourself apart. Local boutiques are the experts at this - they're setting new trends with their inventory choices rather than following along with the crowd. You already know the boutique owner has chosen wisely based on their own style and fashion sense, so you can't possibly go wrong! 
  • Each piece tells a story. When you find the perfect dress or sweater at a small boutique while on a day trip with your friends or family, that means the piece will always carry a personal story you'll remember each and every time you wear it. Shopping with others is always fun, but it's a lot more memorable to spend the day relaxing with your girlfriends in a charming small town as you shop, enjoy lunch or even pamper yourselves with a spa treatment or winery visit.
