For clothes shopping I like an alternative to the big department stores with crowded parking lots, escalators and impersonal customer service.  That is why I shop downtown Colorado Springs!  Tejon Street, in particular, has much to offer. Tejon has a nice variety of locally owned stores with everything from cookware to clothing. One of my favorite clothing stores is REGINA'S UNIQUE BOUTIQUE.

At Regina's parking is right in front, but you will need a few quarters to feed the meter.  The staff is wonderful. Knowing what styles I like, they will often call ahead and let me know of a new shipment they have in. They always remember my size and usually pull the clothes for me in advance so that I don't have to waste time picking through the racks.  Of course they ask about my family and real estate business, and are always helpful with letting me know which pants fit me best. The personal touch is great!

You can find just about anything there...jeans, jackets, work attire, boots and shoes. They carry cool brands like David Kahn, Jag and Cosabella.

But I must warn you.  When that phone call comes in and they plant that seed about the cool new clothing they've just gotten in, it's hard to resist that urge to shop!
