At First Blush

Pink Blush Opens

You say “yeast infection” without skipping a beat, laugh when you tuck your skirt in your panties, and shrug off spinach in the teeth. Nothing makes you blush.

Except inexpensive clothes.

The collection at Pink Blush, the new boutique in burgeoning South Miami, will have you welcoming the rosy hue. Next door from owner Mayra Saldana’s first shop, Impulse, the new space embraces the role of kid sister: It’s young, fun, and cheap.

All the clothes, shoes, and accessories ring in at less than $100. Fill your closet with a barrage of summer stock: cotton sundresses, colorful minis, long jersey frocks. Pair jeans with any number of playful tanks and top it off with a cluster of yellow or pink bangles.

For your feet, there’s new local line AlyV, which just launched its spring collection of wedges, flats, and strappy heels.

All of which keep your bank account out of the red.

Pink Blush, 6554 Bird Road (305-663-1083).
