Let's face it; shopping in Conway is not exactly a fun experience, especially when you are looking for a specific item. The anxiety can be heightened if the one thing needed is a perfect outfit for a professional or formal occasion. Most students have given up trying to find a nice pair of shoes, formal dress or suit in Conway and just head to Park Plaza in Little Rock instead. Even though the choices are slim, there are some shops in Conway that offer professional and formal attire. You just have to know where to look.
For females, finding a store that carries a variety of formal dresses and nice suits that are not made for older women is always a challenge. Most young women in Conway probably head to Dillard's in Little Rock if looking for a suit or nice dress, but this does not have to be the case. There are a few shops in Conway where women can find nice clothes to where to a job interview or special occasion. The Colony Shop, across from Wal-Greens, carries a variety of women's suits, semi-formal and formal dresses, and accessories. Most suits and dresses are reasonably priced and the Colony Shop offers great sales and coupons.
Belk is a great store that offers a variety of professional clothing for both men and women. They carry some of the better-known lines such as Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Liz Claiborne, all of which offer professional clothing that does not look too old. Completing the professional look, Belk also carries a large variety of casual and dress shoes for men and women, purses, belts, scarves, hats, and popular makeup lines such as Clinique, Lancome, and Estee Lauder.
Lefler's in downtown Conway also offers a wide selection of make-ups for the young professional, and though the store specializes in relaxed attire, they offer a selection of formal ware, too. Both Belk and Lefler's are not only a great place to go when shopping for a complete professional look, students on a budget can also appreciate their reasonable prices and frequent sales.
