Not ready for racy teen fashions, yet too mature for the children’s department. Tween girls can be a challenge to outfit, as the local mom who opened this shop knows first hand. She aims to fill the void with clothes that are modest enough to meet Mom’s approval, but trendy enough to win over discriminating young shoppers. Lots of bohemian tops, hoodies, cords and cargos. The shop has moved around a lot in its short history, but finally seems settled in Excelsior. The potential is here, as is the dedication: five percent of revenues go to causes that help girls with fewer resources.
