ith popular malls and department stores beginning to close, I can't help but wonder if my support for online shopping is contributing to this trend. Surprisingly, boutiques are on the rise, even though they are less popular compared to major stores like Kohl's or Macy's.

Boutiques are gaining popularity due to their ability to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and leverage social media effectively. The benefits of shopping at boutiques include finding unique items, supporting smaller businesses, and staying ahead of fashion trends. However, there are some drawbacks. Boutique sizes can be inconsistent, and they often lack perks like free shipping and returns that larger companies offer. Additionally, prices at boutiques are usually higher. While the best boutiques are often charming, locally-owned shops in downtown areas, online boutiques are also on the rise. When shopping online, remember to check reviews for quality and ensure the company is legitimate.
