I can\u2019t help but be bummed when I hear all the bad economy news lately. More layoffs, more stores closing. More layoffs, more stores closing. Not to mention people losing their houses left and right, it\u2019s enough to make all of us just want to close our eyes until it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, it is refreshing to see good news out there, especially when it\u2019s about businesses thriving, optimistic and ready for things to take a turn. And even if it\u2019s just a tad I figure, we should all do our bit to help out our country and shop a bit! After all, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a dress in that closet that needs to retire, a blouse whose buttons are far past the replacement point or maybe you\u2019re just aching for something brand spanking new. Because even when times are tough, it\u2019s O.K. to give yourself a treat every once in a while.<\/p>\n
So once you\u2019re good and ready to do your bit of contribution\/self-indulgence, check out Carole\u2019s Couture, a boutique I recently discovered at the Scottsdale Promenade. Located in North Scottsdale off of Frank Lloyd Wright and Scottsdale Road, the women\u2019s boutique is chock-full of cute clothes and accessories.<\/p>\n
First, lower those eyebrows and don\u2019t be dismayed by its strip mall location; Carole\u2019s Couture carries tons of high-end designer lines you\u2019ll totally love. I promise. Think Elizabeth and James, Badgley Mischka, Diane von Furstenberg, Catherine Malandrino, Robert Rodriguez, Mike & Chris and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, to name a few.<\/p>\n
Owner Carol Peterson hand-picks the items in her store with her savvy taste as a former fashion consultant. You\u2019ll find everything from vintage jewelry, cashmere sweaters and cocktail dresses to evening gowns and the latest pair of designer jeans.<\/p>\n
And if that\u2019s not enough to sway your interest, you\u2019ll be happy to know that Carole\u2019s Couture prides itself on having amazing customer service. And we all know how hard that can be to find these days! Carole\u2019s Couture fashion specialists are waiting to help you with a complete head-to-toe look.<\/p>\n
