Lindie Sue's Boutique · Broadway, Excelsior Springs

You have driven past it. Here is what is inside.

One room, a fitting room at the back, and about four hundred pieces at a time. This is the whole store, front window to sale rack.

The walk

Five stops, in the order you would hit them coming through the door.

1

The window

Two forms, changed most Thursdays. Whatever is in the window is on a rack inside within arm's reach of the door, so you never have to ask where the thing you saw is.

Changed weekly
PLACEHOLDER: the two window forms from inside the shop looking out toward Broadway

2

The front rack

New arrivals, and they do not stay long. Most pieces come in twos and threes per size, so when it is gone we are usually not getting it again.

$24 to $78
PLACEHOLDER: front rack shot down its length, hangers evenly spaced, tags facing out

3

The case by the register

Earrings, layering necklaces, a shelf of small gifts. This is where most of the town does its birthday shopping on the way home, and it is why we keep a roll of ribbon behind the counter.

Wrapped free
PLACEHOLDER: jewelry case top-down, earrings laid in rows on the glass, register just in frame

4

The fitting rooms

Two of them, both with a door that latches and a mirror that is not tilted to flatter. Take three sizes in. Sizes on the floor run XS to 3X.

XS to 3X
PLACEHOLDER: fitting room doorway with the curtain tied back, hooks and mirror visible inside

5

The back left corner

The sale rack. Last season, broken sizes, and the pieces that were a mistake to buy. Marked on the tag, final sale, and worth checking first if you are the kind of shopper who does.

From $8
