All She Wears

The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed a new boutique to downtown Hampton on Sun-day with a ribbon cutting ceremony. All She Wears, located at 461 Lafayette Road is a "classy little bou-tique", according to owner Sheila Fleming, who has years of experience buying fashions.

The store features a selection of mid to upscale clothing and accessories, including jackets, skirts, sweat-ers, dresses, shoes, handbags, jewelry, sunglasses, and gifts. There are even fashions for your pet. Sheila will not stock the boutique in bulk, therefore offering a more exclusive selection for area women. Her goal is to have her customers feel that they have purchased a unique, specialty item.

Sheila credits the support of family and friends, who encourages her to take the step and open All She Wears. Those supporters surrounded Sheila and her staff on Sunday for the ribbon cutting. The location in the center of downtown Hampton reflects her confidence in the retail resurgence of the village. The bou-tique is elegant and welcoming, with colorful displays on shelves, tables, and racks, and lots of mirrors to reflect the merchandise. For more information, call All She Wears at (603) 929-0055.
