I love to see new shops opening in our downtowns and villages and Polished Boutique is a fun one. It leans to the junior set, but that doesn’t mean the moms and middle-ageds (me!) won’t find some goodies here. Threads for Thought organic and sustainable tees share rackspace with stand-out sweaters by Elan and sweet silk blouses that pair well with dark denim.

Prices are gentle (sweaters range from $52 to $78) and this adorable lineup of lurex and sequined party dresses (pictured) ranged from $50 to $150. Covetable jean line DL1961 makes a forgiving fabric with four-way stretch that’s normally $158 but just $130 here. Make sure to head next door and check out the new Totally Awesome Goods for handmade, upcycled and fair trade jewelry, gifts and home decor.
