Let’s face it, who doesn’t like a little pick me up while walking down Washington?  Happy hour can be fun, but it has nothing on finding that perfect piece you can wear everyday.

Alexia Crawford Sample Sale (331 Washington Street) is the ideal spot to stop in and find the latest accessories (plus it doesn’t come with a headache the next morning). The store boasts an eclectic mix of rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pins and purses, not to mention seasonal favorites from boots to scarves.

I dare you to walk in and walk out empty-handed.  All jewelry items are neatly organized by color with coordinating pieces to make complete sets, while leaving the option for an a la carte purchase.  Items are priced well below what you’d find in most malls and there is jewelry for every occasion.  Some items might have you inventing excuses to wear them.
