Summit to Soul stocks women's fitness gear from premium brands like Beyond Yoga, Oiselle, and…read moreOnzie, most of which (I think) are responsibly sourced/women-owned brands. The day I stopped by, they had just gotten a new shipment in and there were tons of cute styles to choose from in colors perfect for fall. Additionally, they sell accessories like yoga mats, water bottles, and candles. After walking around the shop for a while, I bought a long-sleeved running top from Oiselle to wear during fall training runs, and I love it. It's breathable and warm, and already a staple athletic top in my closet. I also saw a really cool running tank with "Hill Runners" written down the back that I have my eye on, so I'll definitely be back. I'm so glad I stumbled across this place on a walk around my neighborhood a few weeks ago. It's convenient, sells some of my favorite brands, and is different from the lululemon stores around DC, but best of all Summit to Soul is invested in their customers and the surrounding community. Apparently, they host workouts, runs and community events in southeast DC. I really want to join their Wednesday night long run squad, take advantage of the yoga classes, and become part of the running community here.

I've always wanted to go in this boutique; I've bypassed it driving, on the bus, or walking the…read morebeaten path after hours and unfortunately they were closed. But this day - a Saturday afternoon - before going into Ben's Chili Bowl which is directly across the street from the boutique I caught the traffic light and ran across the street and into the boutique. It's small and quaint, with a relaxing and welcoming vibe and I was immediately greeted upon entering by the associate behind the counter. She gave me the run down about the fashions and sales. This boutique has some really beautiful well-made clothes - very unique in designs and styles. So I made my way to the back where the sale's rack was; always on the lookout for a sale. I bought a pair of suede crop pant with embroidered design around the waist and styled with studs on the outside seams and pockets. Sounds busy but they are baaaaad; not too much but just enough to pair with a blazer, shirt, sweater or jacket. If you're a fashionista with a unique sense of style and taste in clothes, cat walk your way to the C.A.T. WALK Boutique.

I was looking for a very specific style, which they don't have, but the woman offered to keep an eye out for me, and she took my information, which was quite nice of her (I did get her name, but I forgot it. She was awesome though.). This location is great and I highly recommend visiting.

Despite my expectations before each visits, and despite scouring the 75% of the racks, I bet I bought fewer than 10 items in all that time. Partly, I have been very spoiled with stores like the Rack, but much better. I'm from Boston and spent many hours at the inimitable but defunct Filene's Basement. As well as at TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Loehmann's. I very seldom see anything at the Rack. I find their clothes, etc. to be overpriced. And the stores are so disorganized and messy. I would love to be able to say I love Nordie's, but I am always disappointed.

Vintage & Charmed Classic Clothing (from here on VCCC) is definitely what I'd consider to be that diamond. It's not just one type or style of vintage clothing, but a mix of vintage, classy, street chic, retro, boho, and other tasteful styles and fashion. And might I add a colorful assortment of clothing fabrics. I'm a fan and client shopper, and I sell vintage as well. But I love shopping different places and buying vintage clothing for myself. It's hard NOT to buy something from VCCC, when the getting is this good and wall-to-wall clothes and colors winking at you. Don't just read this review; go check it out!

I have never had to take these pieces to a tailor to repair a hem or seam that came apart due to quality issues. This store was wonderful. I usually buy pieces online but it was a treat to come in and try on so many pieces in person. Ebony was a delight to work with and she was very knowledgeable about the pieces, the different options, and how to dress items up or down. It was really fun to try on so many items and purchase pieces right there. I will make a point to stop by whenever I'm back in DC.

Virginia led a group of us through a plant and pot decorating class right in the store. For my first Steadfast event, this was well organized and we were well cared for by our host!
