Affordable Fashion at Apricot Lane Boutique

 ***Complimentary product received in exchange for an honest review***



I really hate trying to shop for clothes for myself in the stores. It's impossible to try things on when I have four kids tagging along with me. The two older ones are fighting, the toddlers are screaming. I wind up getting so distracted I'll pick things up that are two sizes too big without realizing it until I get home.  So now I've decided to do all my clothes shopping online after the kids are asleep.  With so many choices out there, its not always easy to decide which store to shop in. I want affordable prices, but I also want top quality, stylish clothes. I don't want last year's leftovers. To find the latest fashions and the best prices, one of my favorite online stores is Apricot Lane Boutique.  This year when I starting shopping, my first pick was the full length native sweater. It looks great with jeans or stretch pants and is the perfect choice for fall outings.




Apricot Lane Boutique is owned and run by a mother and daughter team. The daughter, also a mother herself to a two year old, oversees all the online sales as well as buying for the store. She has grown her Facebook page, Apricot Lane Peoria, to over 100,000 likes as a small business owner as well! Such a fun twist on a modern day family business- they offer west coast, celebrity inspired looks for both mothers and daughters at affordable prices. One of the other items I just had to have was this Mustard Aztec Jacket. The colors and vibrant and the material soft and comfortable. Works great as a wrap on cool afternoons.




One of the things I really love about Apricot Lane Boutique is that they have a wide variety of clothes for all shapes and sizes. You don't have to be a size one to look good in these clothes. But if you are a size one, there are plenty of options there for you too. They also have as fashions to suit every style. I consider myself a Boho babe and they had tons of options that fit my personal stye and were flattering to my figure. This brown boho blouse is lightweight and sheer, perfect for a warm fall day and looks great with a pair of jeans or a long brown skirt.




If Boho isn't your style, there are plenty of other fashion forward styles from tons of designers including  Big Buddha, Emily Maynard, and 3Strands.  In addition to their beautiful clothes, Apricot Lane Boutique also offer a wide range of accessories including shoes, boots, jewelry and more. Apricot Lane Boutiques are also located across the country with close to 100 stores in over 30 states. These franchised boutiques are locally owned and offer fashion forward, affordable styles, accessories and gifts for mothers and daughters-teens through fifties, all under $100. They have been featured on national news outlets such as People StyleWatch, and USA Today. If it's time to update your wardrobe, Apricot Lane Boutique should be your first and only stop.
