Let Me Grant Your Clothing Wishes

Let Me Grant Your Clothing Wishes

I have a really hard time finding clothes that I like. It seems like it's difficult to find casual, but really cool adult girl clothes that are more appropriate for work or errands than going to the club and I've all but given up on trying to shop for anything at the mall. Which is fine really - Memphis has some great shops that carry unique pieces you won't find at any chain.

A well-dressed mannequin at Wish, Memphis, Tenn.

I went to check out Wish boutique in Germantown yesterday, and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. The shop is really interesting - there are walls covered in records, vintage furniture is positioned around the room, and the clothes and accessories are splayed on tables, hung on racks around the room, and piled in bowls.

The clothes range from pieces that are perfect for a night out, to some work-appropriate pieces (like blazers and dresses) and comfy lounge wear. They were having a big sale yesterday, but the regular prices on all of the clothes I looked at weren't too steep.

Earrings at Wish, Memphis, Tenn.

The owners of Wish were kind enough to give me two gift certificates to use at the store. I used on to pick up a cute blue dress (with pockets!) and a beret (which the staff - largely made up of girls named Kerry - showed me how to wear without looking silly), and two bracelets for one of you.

And here's the best part: In addition to the two bracelets, one reader of I Love Memphis will win a $100 gift certificate to use at Wish.

I just found your blog this morning while planning a trip to Memphis. Love your outlook on Memphis and what it has to offer. Will be in Memphis in May and would love the gift card to Wish. I need a little pick-me-up as I am sitting here looking out at the last batch of snow from Mother Nature!!!

It's hard for me to find clothes too...I'm a grad student, so I'm stuck in that "not too loungy, not too professional" area when I'm teaching. Wish looks awesome!

Hi, thanx for the blog to enjoy more of Memphis. I miss home so much, you people are lucky to be there. I did Beale St. last time I was there and rode the trolly. Cried my eyes out. I know someone who would love your store and so I would like to enter for the $100 gift card. Thanx Kerry for all you do to mesmerize me with all the good things of Memphis. I often go to my favorites pgs. and look at the Memphis After Dark and plan, plan, plan for my next trip home.
