Where to shop for women's clothing in Charlottesville
If you want to express your own personal style and not follow the masses in what you wear, then shopping in Charlottesville is for you. There are so many amazing local boutiques selling women’s clothing that you won’t see in the big department stores, you will practically never have to worry about a co-worker coming in with the same outfit as you (heaven forbid)! We love these shops, and so will you:

Spring Street is Charlottesville’s largest independent boutique, which we also highlight in our article on Bachelorette party ideas. The walls are vibrant colors, and so is the clothing.
