The Scene
From sunflower-yellow walls to flashy light fixtures adorned with multicolored marbles, this boutique caters to urban fashionistas. The shimmery and sexy clothes catch the eye, but you'll also be drawn to smaller, fun items, such as a purse made out of newspaper or the bath confetti. Pictures with sassy girl-power quotes and cartoon images hanging throughout add pizzazz. A clearance rack and stylish men's apparel also beckons.

The Goods
Whether you buy a pair of designer jeans with crochet accents or a Latin-inspired dress with ruffles and sequins, no one will be wearing the same outfit. The clothing, cut to fit small waists and larger hips, ranges from casual to evening wear. Sizes go up to 16, uncharted territory for most boutiques. The store's collection of chic boots and imported Italian shoes sets off jeans by Joe's, Buffalo, Vitamina and Paper, Denim and Cloth. Purses start at $25, while an evening gown might run $300.

Key Points

  • One of a Kind Clothes
  • Handbags & Jewelry
  • Personalized Service

The Inside Scoop

  1. When to Go - Come on Thursdays for wine, cheese and sales. Part of Decatur's "Terrific Thursdays" initiative, Kaleidoscope marks everything down from 20 to 60 percent off.
  2. The Extras - Owner Camille Wright will give you a M.A.C. makeover for free if you buy an evening dress. She'll also alter or hem your outfit if needed.
  3. Parking - Park in the Towne Square lot, further up East Ponce. The store will give you a token for the meter, worth two hours.

Reviews for Kaleidoscope Boutique

Ratings_icons Perfect girls' boutique, friendly staff, good selection

Sara W. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,758

Kaleidoscope is probably my favorite shop in downtown Decatur because of its well-chosen selection of stylish, attractive clothes. It's fun just to browse there because of the friendly, warm atmosphere. The selection is good, yet still singular - you don't worry so much about buying something that will show up in every club across town. The staff are friendly and helpful, and if you're just not sure they can usually suggest something. Take note: they hold occasional sales and special events, so get on their mailing list!

I wanted a new pair of jeans, but was used to traditional sizing, like 2,4,6,8. I didn't know how to figure out my size for the new designer jeans. I told the owner this. She was so helpful, looked at me, told me my size and found the perfect jeans. It was so easy. I'm 38 years old, so I didn't want the super low cut, that I couldn't bend over in without showing everything. I have gotten so many compliments on my jeans. They were expensive, $169 plus tax, but really worth it. After going to Kaleidoscope, I never want to look for jeans in a mall store again. This was a great experience. I will definitely be back!

Ratings_icons Favorite boutique in Atlanta

Kaleidoscope Boutique offers clothing and accessories that are stylish without being overly trendy. The selection of design, sizes, and prices is varied enough for a shopper of most any age, shape, or means to find something to walk out with. The selection also covers weekend casual to special occasion dress-up. The jeans, though, are the real draw. Camille, the owner, has a preternatural ability to look at you and immediately select a pair of jeans that makes you feel like a rock star. As to the previous reviewer who experienced an overly aggressive sales pitch, I'll admit that there was a girl who worked at Kaleideoscope about a year ago who I couldn't stand. She's long gone now, and the current staff has always offered a pleasant, no-stress shopping experience.

Ratings_icons Cute clothes, more sales pressure than a used car dealership.

I went to Kaleidoscope, at its "new" location, after a long day of great shopping in Decatur. The selection looked great, but a salesperson leached onto me the moment I walked in and proceeded to bully me into trying on an armload of clothes that I was not interested in buying. I thought, "Am I on candid camera?" It was like a prank! Anyway, I couldn't get out of there fast enough and I have not been back. I also went to this store twice at its previous location, and did not experience the freakish sales pitch, though the selection was not as good there.

I had a great experience here. First off, the merchandise is great and unique, and secondly, the customer service is unmatched. The reps are so helpful here, and you won't walk out empty handed.

hiltonkeith

Camille's character illuminates everything in her store. She's warm, friendly, helpful, humorous, and she has great taste! I love the top she picked out for me, and even though a certain notorious local celebrity got the last of my size in that really cute dress... I haven't forgotten. Check out this store, you'll love it.
