How many truly incredibly run boutiques are there in the Seattle area anyway? A ton! It's really amazing the variety that so many of our local savvy entrepreneurs offer all the fashionistas around town. Seriously, what would we be wearing with out them? Good thing there are just as many local artists and indie-designers out there. Here are three of my favorite boutiques of the summer. And, no, it's not just because they carry seva sustainable concept designers
but it helps.
There are many more reasons..............
