Known for its curated selection of trendy clothing and accessories, and exceptional customer service, Curly Girl Boutique has been a go-to destination for fashion-forward individuals seeking distinctive, stylist apparel.

Sale continues through December @ 2705 E 38th St, Minneapolis, @curlygirlboutiquemn
