Simply D’Vine Boutique: Two Years and Still Going Strong
In August 2014, Terrie
Cook opened Simply D’Vine Boutique and brought to life to an
idea she had been nurturing for 19 years – a stylish
boutique that offers something for every pocketbook and a
variety of tastes.
During a tour of the
boutique – located in the Marketplace West Shops , 3606 W.
Sylvania Ave – Cook directs customers past shelves
containing styles she labels “Young at Heart” to
“Moderately Chic” to “Sophisticated” – something for every
whim. There is also a “Curvaceous” rack for the plus-sized
customer.
In addition to girls and
women’s clothing, Cook also carries men’s apparel – shirts,
socks and ties. Men’s suits are available to order. It’s a
small, tidy shop with an abundance of goods.
“This is something I
always wanted to do,” says Cook. “I did a lot of research to
see what was in this area.” The plan Cook came up with was
to offer different and unique items and make them available
to all. “You can come in with $10, $15, $20 and still buy
something,” she points out.
