THE SAVVY SHOPPER

Jeanne Vogt

Shops in the Promenade

It is beautiful to stroll around the shops in the Promenade among the trees and babbling water flowing across the rocks. Poke your head into the little boutiques and maybe have some lunch. A nice afternoon. It is so much nicer than Waterside Shops...I think they ruined Waterside Shops when they took out all the lovely water features.

It is stark and sterile now, so I prefer The Promenade. That's how I happened to be there this week...I like it better.

I visited JCC, a small shop that is owned by Jami's and is the more casual side of Jami's. Country club casual is in and skirts are back! Little skirts just below the knee, some a bit longer and those all the way to the ankle. I'd say the shorter ones are better for this season. You see them everywhere. I love them! They are so comfortable to wear. JCC has a nice selection. They, like everyone else, are having a sale now. I found a rack of skirts, capris and tops for just $20.

Jackets from $49, that had been $168. Now that's a bargain!

You will find super comfy Tee's and knit tops of silk and cotton. Some had matching skirts or capri's.

JCC carries a selection of jewelry and some shoes. Nautical stripes and things in navy and yellow seem to be popular. They had all kinds of little jackets that will go with many things to pair them up with. Perfect for traveling if you think you are going to get out of this heat and go somewhere cooler. Also a great selection of light weight sweaters at $41.

Another thing I noticed were lots of pockets in the capri's and jackets. It's Just Comfortable Clothing!

The sales person was very helpful and friendly. I think you would have a good experience shopping here.

If you want a more elegant look...Jamis is just across the way.

JCC is located in The Promenade at Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs just past Starbucks...aaaah I gotta go get a Frappicino!!
