Something Else

Came in here by accident because I was trying to go to another boutique and they seemed to have a lot of cute clothes in the window. They have a variety of dresses, skirts, sweaters, etc… What I looked most is nothing looked like it came from a department store. Everything was so unique. They also had a couple 50%-60% Clarence racks as well with some really nice did on it. I’ll definitely be back!!!

This place is cute collection of all sorts of clothes.
I was drawn in when I saw the skirt in the photo above (red and white stripes) and expected it to be a secret store full of clothing for ladies on the younger side of the spectrum. That’s not really the case. I’d say a majority of the items they offer are flowy, natural-​colored clothes for an older generation. That being said, they are still interesting… just not my style.
There were a few dresses and skirts that were more for younger women. I also get the impression that this is the kind of place that you have to keep checking and can make some good finds there. I don’t think they order more than a few items in each size/​color. If you miss it, that’s your loss!
If you want to try something on, the workers close off the back corner of the store (there are little doors, but it’s not quite a dressing room). Kind of adds to the eclectic feel of the store.
Definitely worth popping into if you’re strolling through Mt. Washington!

Something Else is an eclectic little Mt. Washington boutique that is absolutely stuffed to the gills with treasures. My mom said that this is where all the cool hippie girls bought their clothes in the 70s. Cool hippie girls circa now will like it, too. You should be able to find a gift for any girl on your list here– there are modern, colorful silky and sexy blouses, tons of sparkly earrings, big sterling cuff bracelets, Indian tapestries, unique coats, and chunky knits galore. It’s a boho feel overall (need a tie-​dye onesie?) but its a pretty eclectic mix.
Give yourself some time if you plan on stopping in here. After half an hour of browsing, I felt like I had barely scratched the surface. It is jam-​packed with stuff and you will want to see it all.
This is the type of local business that is worth supporting; it’s been around forever and you are guaranteed to walk out with something unique. I had a bit of hit or miss luck with finding my size, and the return policy is exchanges or store credit only– but hey– it’s not a department store – it’s better!
