Boutique-ers World
So as many of you know I love to shop. For absolutely anything and everything the Love for it is real y'all! Being said I am basically a critic for many small businesses in the Indianapolis greater area and I am SO aware of many shops, malls and brands. Many people ask me about options, prices and well to be blunt how to dress a full figured woman well. <plus size> As many may be ashamed of that it is nothing to run from! UGHH this is one frustration of mine being as in my opinion people in general would rather fit a size or brand than look great.. ILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. But anyway I heard of a new business in Greenwood Indiana and so I checked out its information. There are many things I look at when I look at boutiques seeing as they are completely different from malls and strips even centers or "angles". That being said the name... I was rather confused but after reading I saw where it came from and sooner asked when I came in. The location of this Boutique is well not exactly convenient. I found myself just really wondering what brought people into this store. While the actual owner is incredibly nice some of the associates in my opinion were not maybe the word... qualified to be there. Working in retail myself I spot things and notice peeves more than some but I was not even greeted in SUCH a small space and I was the only shopper when I walked in.. I was not asked anything and she continued to pandora and process items or at least that's what I believe she was doing. As I had items in my hand and never being in this particular store I was SHOCKED she did not ask me if I needed a room or count or anything at all what-so-ever! Anyway I really could care less about most of this my main issue was this store is poorly stocked and completely biased on the picking. I know money is an issue for all small business owners in the beginning but this store needs some love, organization and merchandising HELP. The buyer < I assume the owner> has such a style and it's SO clear. I hope good things for them and they seem to be doing well but i'll stop my rant and end with. Not all fabric is for everyone and owners should not be offended if different clients don't like their product. When you make or create an exact style and appearance you take a risk and live with it. Build an environment of creation, curiosity and inspiration not the same things because soon it will become dreary, dull and repeditive.
