How to Get — and Give — Local Retail Therapy

Q-Tip
By Lynda Wheatley | May 23, 2020

We don’t know about you, but after weeks spent living in sweatpants, and with spring finally receding, we’re hungrier than ever for a summer wardrobe refresh. But before you log on to Amazon Fashion or other far-away retailers for your fashion fix, we beg of you: First envision what it’d be like if your downtown’s shops and boutiques were permanently shuttered. Then point your mouse to the shop-able sites of local retailers instead.

We found several offering great online sales, personal styling by phone, and/or shipping and gift certificate bonus deals — and, if you choose to support them, likely in the future. (Retailers — if you’re running a good deal for customers but don’t see your web address below, email lynda@northernexpress.com, and we’ll add it to this article.)
