Tough Love is a quirky and hip boutique located on Hillsborough Street, across from the bulldozer building. It’s been open for about a year, and features clothing and fashion accessories, many of which are from local designers.

Tough Love is running a Black Friday special, as seen in the graphic above. They are selling everything at 10% off, and will be adding an extra 5% off if you bring a donation of clothing or non-perishable foods for the Interact Womens Shelter. What makes the Tough Love Black Friday special so interesting is that in addition to offering a discount on goods sold, they will be serving Mimosas from opening time (7:00AM) until noon.

While Tough Love may offer very unique and unusual clothing and accessories, the prices are well within reach of everyone. Many of the items I saw ranged from $20-$40.

The Tough Love mission statement:

The mission of Tough Love Boutique is to offer and showcase local, independent, and unique designers. Tough Love will strive to keep its merchandise new and fresh by regularly bringing in new labels and constantly looking for something cooler than before. Tough Love also pinky swears it will offer many price points for everyone, never be rude or mean, always have music playing and try its dardest to be completly different from all the other boutiques.
