HOURS: Mon.–Sat. 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Sun. 1–5 p.m.

It’s common to find the owner’s dog, Marley, greeting shoppers who come into the boutique in search of designer fashions. Marley is not likely to offer up his opinion on the Nanette Lepore dress or BCBG slacks you’re considering, but he does represent the vibe of the boutique: gorgeous but accessible.

The original Scout & Molly’s opened in Raleigh (and was named after the owners’ Labrador retrievers, who also act as greeters at the boutique). Megan Orell Tee was granted licensing rights to open her own Charlotte [2] store in 2008.

Though the designer clothing and accessories tend to be on the expensive side, Tee has made an effort to incorporate pieces that are both beautiful and affordable.
