Inspired Boutique is a multi-purpose resale shop that sells clothing, accessories, home decor, antiques, furniture, and more. Upon first walking into Inspired Boutique, merchandise is displayed in an organized fashion that alleviates consumers fear of disorganization and clutter. In the middle, there is a table that displays current trends of the season. When I was in there, there were grey colored sweaters on the table. As one of my friends says, “Grey is my spirit color,” so I was immediately attracted to the sweaters.
What you can expect to find: Brands of clothes such as Express, Talbots, Ann Taylor, American Eagle, Old Navy, and more. There were tons of women’s clothes, however, I expected more men’s and children’s clothes there. I saw some high-quality wood furniture pieces as well. The prices are similar to Next To New, but the quality of the products compensate for their higher prices. The fitting rooms are also incredibly spacious and clean. You don’t have to worry about trying on clothes in here.
