Tonight Might be the Right Start.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of accompanying a friend (Cris) on a shopping hunt. The hunt was this; Cris was preparing to attend 3 weddings in the next few months. She needed to find 2 outfits for the events that were dressy but still comfortable, w a causal feel. The following is a review of a couple choice women’s stores. Between these 3 stores just about any type of women would be pleased.

Glide Deluxe


Glide Deluxe, specializes in fancy/formal attire. They have a large selection of prom dresses and special occasion garb. Glide Deluxe is also surprisingly affordable. Cris and I guessed the price of a dress. Our estimates were between $100 & $200. The dress turned out to be $30! Now that’s just an extreme example but most of the dresses seem to be a reasonable price, a price you wont feel silly spending on a dress. This store is perfect if it’s a really fancy wedding.


Added Bonus
Glide Deluxe carries an assortment of special occasion gloves. So if you’re looking for those specific gloves to match THE dress, you may want to check them out.

Whimsy

Now for something completely different.

Whimsy is located on 2000 e 2700 s in the Country Club Marketplace. Whimsy boutique holds everything from casual everyday wear to dressy wear. They have many brands and styles that won’t be found anywhere else in the valley. Whimsy is a boutique and although it is a reasonably priced boutique, boutique’s on average cost a little more than any chain store. In this case I think the added price is worth it, especially if you think money is time. You would have spent a lot more time trying to look this cute without them. Good for a nice casual wedding, but also for everyday wear.



Add Bonus.



Whimsy has a large stock of undershirts / tank tops in many colors that might be just what you’re looking for to match up with a see-through top, cardigan, etc. Also Whimsy has a stash of fun tights.

Name Droppers
Name Droppers is a local consignment store that carries gently used items from top labels. Think of Name Droppers as a classy thrift store. The clothes are used but they have Diane Von Furstenburg’s name on it! If you are really into top designers but also have bills bills bills, this may be the best way for you to like your clothes and also be on good terms with your land lord. This store has loads of stuff ranging from fancy to comfort wear to wedding.





Added Bonus,
Men’s section, yes they have one. If your significant other, chaperone, brother, male friend, etc. Complains about having to tag along to places that don’t even have men’s clothing this will shush them right up.


Don’t forget Nordstrom Rack, or if you have time and little cash always take a look at your local D.I.

P.S. Cris is going to look Amazing this wedding season.
