Put away those gladiator sandals, tube tops and plaid shorts. It's back-to-school shopping time, which means you need a new wardrobe. Blacks, grays, knee-high boots and plenty of pretty, shiny things are "in" this season, and your favorite Downtown clothing stores are ready to help you follow suit. Instead of heading to a mall and fighting the crowds to get that perfect pair of jeans, why not shop local? We took some of the guesswork out of outfit planning by hitting the boutiques just as the new fall fashions were trickling in.
Armed with a cup of coffee running through my veins and two fabulous friends willing to play dress up, I headed Downtown to three of the most popular clothing stores in Springfield: Staxx , INDIE and Envy. With the guidance of the lovely store owners/workers at each location, we put together fabulous looks that you might see at clubs, in restaurants or on campus this season.
