Helena, I’ve been a good supporter of that boutique. Here are my purchases from there — all of which are still in my wardrobe even though I’ve had some for over three years. I hope they make it through this time.

Can't wait to see it on. I just had a door-drop from a local boutique that I wanted to support - a summer dress and some earrings. Like you say, so fab when a want meets a need AND you are supporting something that feels worthwhile.  Now you'll have to see what else that boutique has for you!

This has definitely been an opportunity for me to connect with local businesses in new ways, too. It's been a great silver lining in an otherwise awful time. Wear that pretty sweatshirt in the very best health, Janet!

But I love the colorful zipper (see pic of detail that I took in store), and it was cozy yet lightweight (I can't do heavy hoodies anymore -- I overheat). I also like that it's made in the USA (in LA).  It stuck in my mind, since we are now in a hoodie-wearing era, and my current ones are mostly radio station freebies and are looking a bit worse for the wear. I poked around and found it online at another retailer, but decided to send an email to the boutique where I first saw it to see if they still had it and I could order it from them to support a local business. Not only did the shop manager get back to me immediately, but she offered to price match, since the other store was offering a 15% coupon code. She's going to drop it off in my mailbox tomorrow.  This is a happy coincidence of a need meeting a want, and being able to support a local business while still getting a discount. I haven't purchased anything for my wardrobe in over 7 weeks, but I feel good about this purchase.
