As women over 35, we know that our style has evolved over the years. We're no longer interested in the trends that are popular with teenagers, but we still want to look and feel our best.
Boutique shopping can be a great way to find clothes that are both stylish and age-appropriate. But with so many boutiques to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. My Pampered Life Seattle will provide you with some tips on how to boutique shop like a pro, so you can find clothes that make you look and feel amazing!
- Know your body type. The first step to successful boutique shopping is to know your body type. This will help you narrow down your choices and focus on clothes that flatter your figure.
- Know your style. Do some research on the boutiques website before visiting so you can identify your style and have the shopkeeper find other items that fit the style you love. Most boutiques stick to a few styles for their main offerings. For My Pampered Life Seattle those are: Soft Romance, Country Chic, American Classic.
- Find a boutique that has a good selection of clothes for your age. Not all boutiques carry clothes that are appropriate for women over 35. Do some research to find a boutique that has a good selection of classic, timeless pieces.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're not sure what looks good on you, don't be afraid to ask the shopkeeper for help. They can help you find clothes that fit your body type and style. Boutiques WANT to assist their customers and provide customer service... so let them!
- Try on clothes before you buy them. This is especially important when you're shopping at a boutique, where they carry more unique but often limited inventory. Make sure you try on the clothes before you buy them to make sure they fit and flatter you.
- Don't be afraid to mix and match. One of the best things about boutique shopping is that you can find unique pieces that you can mix and match to create your own personal style. Some boutiques, like ours, love the challenge of styling their client in something flattering but maybe a bit bolder than they'd choose for themselves.
- Invest in quality pieces. When you're shopping at a boutique, you're likely to spend more money on each item. But it's worth it to invest in quality pieces that will last for years to come.
