Where JoJami shops-99% Boutiques, 1% department stores 

So you see the Glam Gals shopping habits are quite different. I (Deb) like that boutiques offer one of a kind things. However, whenever I shop in a boutique, I fall in love with something… they don’t have it in my size and then they try to convince me to buy the size or color they have because this brand fits small or this color is hot right now or some other excuse. I don’t like that pressure. At least at the big stores, if I want another size or color or I want to return something, there is no problem.

I asked JoJami if she has experienced this and she says that this can be a problem unless you frequent these boutiques.

If you develop a relationship with a boutique owner she will be on the lookout when your size comes in and actually shop with you in mind when she is ordering for the new season. Find a boutique you like and it’s like having your own personal image consultant and you’ll always look very original.
