DON'T BE NO FOOL!

I support the small business I really do but there is a thin line between support and delusion. I live in Miami and recently there has been a uprising of "boutiques" in my area. I have visited a few and honestly I'm disappointed. When I think of a boutique I think of exclusive items that no one else will have the NEW NEW you know? today I was browsing threw fb and can across this foolishness. The Miami Based vendor is selling go jane heels that are $38.00 buck for $69 dollars! I couldn't help myself from this rant this is exactly what I was talking about on my youtube channel ladies educate yourselves or you won't be getting bang for your buck.

It kind of upsets me I guess if people don't know better 69 dollars sounds great I guess. I just urge everyone for reasons like this to do your research. when I purchased my leopard dress and discovered it was dead sold out I didn't care if I had to pay twice as much as suggested retail value because of it's availability but a shoe that there in every color and size I just couldn't do it? have you ever felt like this?

  5. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I am SICK SICK SICK of seeing the same things I'm SOOO glad I am an internet shopping addict b/c I get 3x the stuff for wayyyy less then these so called boutiques sell them for. Another thing I'm sick of is EVERYBODY and their mama selling BBwives inspired earrings for inflated prices damn near close to the POPaprazzi prices.....when youtube has a plethora of DIY videos on how to do them yourself for MUCH cheaper or several vendors on etsy also have them for cheap.

  6. To be quite honest i rather support a neighborhood boutique than throwing my money away to people across waters selling the off brand version of the shoe... idk, ima support who has what i need when i need it, walmart also has clothes, and so does south beach.. different qualities for different people...

  7. WHEN I THINK OF THE WORD BOUTIQUE I THINK OF UNIQUE AND ONE OF A KIND PIECES NOT SOMETHING THAT'S AVAILABLE FROM A *CHINESE WEBSITE* I AM ALL FOR SUPPORTING A SMALL BUSINESS IF AND WHEN IT'S WORTH IT. I MYSELF REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE HAS OR WILL HAVE ALL OVER THE GLOBE JUST CALL YOURSELF A STORE IF THAT'S THE CASE BECAUSE BOUTIQUE IS A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME. NEXT WEEK I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT A BOUTIQUE LOOKS LIKE. DIFFERENT QUALITIES FOR DIFFERENT PPL? HMMMMMM AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE SAME PIC SAME QUALITY SAME STORE WITH A DIFFERENT NAME TAG SO THE QUALITY GOES OUT THE WINDOW FOR ME.

    : a small company that offers highly specialized services or products <an independent investment boutique <<
