Think it’s hard to dress trendy in Asheville on a budget and still buy local at the same time? It’s not thanks to Charmed and Southern Charm. Both boutiques are locally owned and are in the heart of downtown. You can find everything from accessories to clothing between the two boutiques and everything comes in at under $50.00, most of the items under $30.00 and most accessories under $20.00. I spent a morning in Charmed trying on pieces, checking out the local designers featured and creating a mental wishlist.

I put together a urban chic look perfect for hitting up the town. I paired a beanie, blanket scarf, sweater and sunnies with my t-shirt dress, leggings and fringe booties for the perfect Asheville outfit of the day. I love blanket scarves for this season because you can wear them so many wears and they offer a lot of warmth for the winter ahead.

For the second look I just threw on some sunnies and a locally made necklace perfect for heading out to the farmers market and breweries.

So make sure you head downtown and check out Charmed, I’m sure whatever your style is, you will find something there. Also the perfect place for finishing up your Christmas shopping. If you want to see more of what I found you can check out my blog post here: http://wp.me/p50AtW-1qX
