Follow the Shop Tart!
Filed Under Shop, Wish you were here!
The Shop Tart spent a lovely weekend in Washington D.C. with her sister - eating, drinking, laughing hysterically and shopping. Funny thing about the shopping, though. For some reason, things that are already on sale in Columbia are still being sold at full price in Washington. And there isn’t nearly as much new merchandise there as there is here. The Shop Tart was so looking forward to scoring some bargains and getting to preview some things not yet available here. Surely, she thought, the shopping is better in the big city. Au contraire! Columbia won by a mile. There was one place that didn’t disappoint, Hu Shoes in Georgetown. The Shop Tart always visits when she’s in town, just to see the new Chie Miharas. Those shoes are gorgeous. if you want to see them somewhere closer, stop by Worthwhile next time you’re in Charleston.
