Charlestown ladies who haven’t voted early or by mail may want to get their booties down to our Conference Center on Tuesday, November 5 to cast their vote. How lucky are we to have a polling place (with free shuttle service) right in our own backyard?
And when you’ve cast that vote, get over to the Ladies’ Boutique and treat yourself to something gorgeous from the shop’s stellar selection of fall clothing in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and colors.
If, like me, you haven’t visited a big retail store lately and wonder what’s “in” this year, the online fashion sites say red is “the” color of the season for fall 2024. Leather jackets, denim and cozy sweaters are at the top of the “must have” list, and don’t write off dresses. Whether maxi style, mid-length or mini, thick fabric or thin, they lend themselves to layering, and transition easily from hot weather to cooler temps.
And does the boutique have dresses for you!! One little black number that can be accessorized for dinner at the Atrium or an outside cocktail party could also be paired with a wide variety of beautiful cover-ups, including a gorgeous camel-colored Cashmere scarf that can be had for a measly $18.00. Perhaps you like more colorful accoutrements … and the boutique has those, as well … a wonderful geometric-print jacket enhanced with gold fabric in all the right places, a sparkling classic black and white jacket glittering with gold flecks … in fact, an entire rack of “just right” toppers for almost any dress and occasion.
This feast of fall colors is augmented by a fine collection of scarves and bags (I recently found a wonderful purse/backpack that will make the perfect Christmas gift for my busy, fashion-conscious 13-year-old granddaughter), and the shop’s killer clearance racks are loaded with vests, jackets, sleepwear, and cool weather goodies galore.
The Ladies’ Boutique is located on the terrace level of Herbert’s Run, and is open on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We now accept payment by credit card for sales of $30.00 or more. We’d love it if you’d bring your own bag and help us keep plastic out of our landfills and waterways!
