Shopgirls — Local services in Kansas City

Shopping here is so much FUN. Katy makes it easy, and has a great eye to pick out pieces that work. I love coming here- came in to find a dress, and left with an amazing dress AND several useful and comfortable pieces for work and a trip. Not to mention the great vibe around Christmas - lots of gift ideas from party snacks to ornaments to jewelry. They just celebrated 16 years in business and hopeful won't go anywhere - a total gem...
