Are you going through shopper's withdrawl? Think there's no place to shop in Athens? Well, ladies, POISE fashion has just the place to cure your shopping blues. Read along to find out why we think The Other Place is one of the best places to shop on campus.

Designer Brands, Local Prices

Since 1993 The Other Place has stood at 43 South Court Street with the intention of pleasing female college students. Carrying a wide variety of clothing and accessories, and focusing on women from 16- to 30-years-old, this boutique has everything from the perfect outfit to wear to an interview to one for a fabulous night out on the town. Stocked with the season's most fashionable Vera Bradley bags, Silver Jeans, and name brand shoes, what more could a "dressed to impress" girl ask for?

As the official authorized dealer in Athens County of the Vera Bradley line, these amazing, eye catching bags can be seen being carried by almost every girl at Ohio University.
Made to perfectly fit girls of every body type, Silver Jeans range from dark denim to stone wash, and trousers to distressed. And, whether you're perfect pair is in stock or not, The Other Place will find a way to get the best jeans for you. They will also special order any size you need.
The Other Place also carries American Apparel, a line of clothing that is both designed and manufactured exclusively in the United States, not to mention extremely cute and comfortable.

Accessory Heaven

While this fabulous store may have tons and tons of amazing, affordable apparel, what good would an outfit be without jewelry and the perfect shoes? Well, ladies, according to Sarah Berquist, manager and buyer for The Other Place, they carry tons of trendy, funky, and fun accessories.

Their shoe brands, some of which are found in the ever popular Urban Outfitters, include BC Footwear, Seychelles, Steve Madden and Chinese Laundry.

Not Just For Shopping

Are you a fashion merchandising major attending Ohio University? Do you wonder if a fashion career could be in your future? As college students we know that internship experience is extremely important, not only to test our skills for the future, but to figure out if our major is something we actually want to pursue in the future. Fortunately for those hoping to make a fashionable name for themselves, The Other Place has a partnership with the merchandising program here at Ohio University, and offers internships to both men and women. Just because it is a women's shop does not mean that you guys cannot work there, too.

You don't have to be a retail merchandising major, to snag a job there, though. If you're just looking for a part time job, they accept applications and resumes from local college students on a daily basis. What girl wouldn't love working part-time in a fashionable boutique during her college-career?

Another Other Place?

Not only does The Other Place have amazing outfits for young women, but the owner and operator, Doug Baker, also owns two other stores in central Ohio under the name of Sharff's Fashions, which are geared towards women in there thirties and above. Like The Other Place, these shops carry all the "in" items for stylish women. So whether you are looking for yourself, your best friend, or want to find something for your mom, The Other Place is the one of the best places to find what you're looking for.
