Shop CT: Pearls & Plaid

This weekend I went to a sip and shop event at Pearls & Plaid in Old Saybrook, CT, organized by CT Blogger Babes. It's so great to finally have a group to bring together other local bloggers, and to have the opportunity to visit and support businesses I might not otherwise know about.

Pearls & Plaid is a boutique filled with affordable, on trend pieces - I don't think I saw a single item over $70. Right now knits are center stage and they are all ridiculously soft. In addition to clothes there's a good selection of jewelry, statement earrings and delicate layering necklaces being the most notable. A small selection of gifts currently includes handwritten signs by a local artist.

The atmosphere of the shop is light and bright, and easily flows from one section to the next on both of the small floors.

You can find Pearls & Plaid at 1330 Boston Post Road Old Saybrook, CT 06475

  16. What a cute shop! I admit, though, it's really your velvet pants that caught my eye in this post, the colour is so vibrant without being over-the-top, it makes the perfect subtle statement and is so wonderfully fall-like. It's rare I want to wear colour myself but I have been feeling attracted to wine and maroon shades lately, which probably explains why I love your pants so much, but whatever they reason, they are gorgeous on you.
    xox,
