mxmcty

Offering paycheck-​friendly chic for the grown-​but-​fun set, MXMCTY is a very cute boutique with a much different feel than most nearby — perfect for those of us beyond Forever 21 but far too young for Chico’s! Featuring a variety of styles from small labels (including some NC designers!), the clothes range from street-​smart looks from Blood is the New Black to sleek, stylish vintage-​inspired dresses that will look smart at the office and chic for an evening out, as well as accessories.
While the shop has limited hours at the moment, open Wednesdays through Sundays, it’s well worth making a stop by if you’re craving up-​to-​date fashion that’s a better quality than Mall McFashion but without a hint of frumpiness. Last time I was in, I was told they’ll be moving to a new location on the ground floor of the Carter Building (#27, I believe) and in addition to the move, some fresh goods from Castles Couture in Wilmington will hit the floor soon so you can shop NC goodness twice as hard!
