Traveling Chic Boutique

Traveling Chic Boutique has been in Greenville for about 7 years, yet I have only visited them a couple times. My mom and I had stopped in to browse a while back and I saw a shimmery leopard sweater on their front table. Since we were mainly window shopping, I looked around but kept the leopard sweater in mind. When I made my next shopping trip downtown, I also had a leopard cardigan in mind from RockerBelles (what’s my thing with leopard print right now?) and after that didn’t work out, I came to see if the sweater was still in stock at Traveling Chic Boutique.

I arrived at TCB during their 12 Days of Christmas sale and to my delight found cookies at the front table. I’ll help myself, thank you! The leopard sweater had been replaced by a white sweater with colorful zig zags that I agreed was cute, too. The staff asked if I was looking for anything and I mentioned the previous front table leopard sweater. They pulled it from a rack, in my size, and asked if I wanted a mimosa. Wait, what? Cookies AND mimosas?! I literally said “well this is the best day ever” as they started me a fitting room and started mixing my drink. I grabbed a few other items and went to try on. I tried the leopard sweater, white and colorful zig zag sweater, leather jacket*, forest green suede jacket, long black sweater, two pairs of jeans*, and I’m sure a few other things I don’t remember. As things didn’t work out (including the leopard sweater, ugh), I kept making rounds around the store looking for more things to try on. I may have also made my way past the cookies a couple more times, but we’ll still call it shopping. The three staff members were all attentive as I popped in and out of the fitting room offering me more mimosas, different sizes, and recommendations.

In the end, the long black sweater proved to be the best fit and most practical item I knew I’d get a lot of use out of. They set the sweater behind the counter for me and I made my last round to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I came across these wool mittens and knew I’d need them whenever Greenville decides to actually go full winter. I purchased the sweater and mittens and made my way home.

For this post, I’ve paired the sweater with checkered pants, a v-neck top and patent leather pumps. This sweater can go with just about anything and in full disclosure I don’t love heels, so I wouldn’t wear this exact outfit often. Soon after this picture was taken I changed into joggers and sandals to run to the grocery store. Weather has still been in the 60’s, so I will show off the mittens at another date, but I’m glad to have them in stock.

Traveling Chic Boutique sweater - $50.00

Traveling Chic Boutique mittens - $18.00

Shirt, pants and heels are my own

While I’m happy I got some cute things, I can’t stress enough how the wonderful experience was a result of unmatched customer service at Traveling Chic Boutique. Their commitment to the customer is exactly what sets boutiques apart from most brick and mortar stores, and their can-do attitude combined with seamless teamwork shows me that they love what they do, and are truly gifted at it.

Liked: The service! Mimosas! Cookies! And of course, my purchases

Just okay: That I don’t think they have cookies and mimosas all year round

Would pass: N/A

Would I go again? I certainly would - and I have an inkling it would feel just like home
