Gossip On 23rd

Stopped in for the first time today. I wasn’t anticipating on getting anything, but walked out with two new, super cute wrap dresses. The woman working was very helpful and not pushy or annoying.
There was a fairly large selection for such a small place. I would say that for the size, there’s quite a bit of clothing. I feel like that can make a shopping environment too hectic and you miss things that you might have ordinarily really liked.
I saw some really cute jewelry and some other odds and ends (leggings, purses, etc) that I’ll probably stop back in for. Overall, it was a nice find. Nothing to over the top, but reasonably priced clothing and accessories. Will be back!

Awesome staff!!! Always a treat to come here. Giving it four stars instead of five because the clothes are geared toward very slender women. Would be nice to see longer hemlines and some options for sizes 8 – 10.

I have so much love for this place! If you have never been here, go. You will not regret it. I thought I didn’t like shopping anymore until I went to Gossip. It can be dangerous haha. This boutique offers so much more than just clothes on a rack. The owner, Katherine (and her staff), is absolutely amazing. Her eye for fashion is impeccable. She would rather have you walk out empty handed than with something you don’t love, but I honestly doubt you will be able to walk out empty handed. She knows how to make a gal look and feel beautiful. So what are you waiting for? Don’t take my word for it, go check it out! Seriously.

Fabulous and affordable little boutique!
Patricia was super nice and attentive. She curates a smart collection of seasonally appropriate, well cut clothes without the extortionate pricing of the big brand names. She found lots of perfect things to help my wife look and feel great.
This place is an absolute gem.

I’ve been shopping at Gossip since it opened and feel like the quality in the clothes has declined and the return policy is really unreasonable. Its a deterrent from shopping there that you only have 14 days to return an item. When the hours are not as long as most larger retailers, it can be difficult to get back to the store in that time frame. No one’s trying to return used merchandise but just asking for some flexibility at a local shop. Disappointed and won’t be shopping here anymore.

I am little late in writing my review for Gossip. However I thought this place needed to be called out from what I saw when I visited on 4÷1÷15. I had passed the store several times while visiting the Fashion Center (above it) and was curious.
First of all I have to commend the owners ability to price several items at what I would consider reasonable prices (and I like to shop at thrift stores so that says something). If you have ever been to a «boutique» you know that the limited supply of women’s clothing can range anywhere from $ 100.00 to $ 1,000.00. I was pleasantly surprised to find pants and dresses from $ 30.00 to $ 60.00 and several of Gossip’s jewelry pieces which ranged in style from old glamour to hipster from $ 10.00 to $ 40.00.
The store has a dressing room but overall feels a little cramped. It wasn’t a big deal because it doesn’t seem to get a lot of foot traffic at once (so there was plenty of space to move around).
The only reason I cannot give Gossip is a higher rating is that I am a size 14 and found my size (although available) in very limited supply.
In conclusion it was worth the visit (picked up a pair of clip on earnings for $ 10.00) and would visit more frequently if it were closer to home.

I love this boutique tucked away on 23^rd in Crystal City. So many unique and beautiful pieces. From jewlery, purses and clothing. Great shop and customer services is awesome.

Since today’s NoVa Unilocal Weekly was focused on Crystal City, I feel this a good time to write this review. I also feel like Gossip should have been in newsletter, and you’ll see why, in case you already can’t figure it out from other reviews.
Gossip has been on my list for years, but honestly, the parking situation in Crystal City scares me, so I’ve been somewhat avoiding it. I’m so glad I finally went and so mad that I didn’t visit earlier. This boutique is an awesome array of clothing, jewelry, and other accessories. Anytime I walk into a store like this, I’m always worried the staff is going to be uppity (though it’s rarely happened), and I can tell you that is definitely not the case here. The woman who worked with me was super friendly and knowledgeable about her products. She picked out the absolute cutest top for an event for me. And she was great with all her suggestions and advice. I wish I had gotten her name.
The jewelry and accessories are in the front, and then the clothing and shoes, along with dressing rooms, are in the back. In addition to on-​trend tops, bottoms, dresses, and outerwear, they have basic camis and t-​shirts, along with some foundation options. I was slightly overwhelmed at first, not because the selection is huge (though it’s definitely not small), but due to the layout, I didn’t know where to look. Dresses are in the middle; tops and bottoms on the sides (mostly).
I say the pieces are a mix of fashionista and vintage-​ish. Not sure how else to describe the styles, but if you know my style, I can find pieces here, and if you know Sahar’s style, she can find pieces here, and we’re a bit different when it comes to fashion. Their website shows only a fraction of Gossip’s actual offerings. The prices are quite reasonable.
I cannot wait to return, and will hopefully have the chance to go often, as they get new items frequently.

Clothing here is adorable and the staff is incredible. They help you out while you are shopping and are truly interested in what you are looking for an honest about what looks good and what doesn’t. The prices are also extremely reasonable. I love stopping by here on Friday nights before the weekend to pick up something new.

This is an awesome clothing shop! It’s become a neighborhood institution. Affordable, fashionable… did I say awesome? The owner, Katherine, and her team are the bomb. She and her staff are your trusted friends and will point blank tell you when something doesn’t work and are skilled at making you look your best. I don’t have to worry I’m going to walk out of there looking like the fashion-​challenged person I actually am. Nothing pushy, just honest input and help finding something YOU love. If you don’t love it, Katherine will tell you to keep looking. Favorite shop. LOVE IT.

This shop is great! They have really cute dresses/​tops/​jewelry at really good prices. It feels like a high end boutique but the prices are very reasonable. And the owner is so sweet and fun, and so helpful. If you ask for help or her opinion, she is right there to provide it for you but is not pushy AT ALL like typical boutiques. I highly reccommend stopping in if you need a last minute cute and affordable weekend dress, or a ton of new stuff, its definitely very worthwhile to stop in. Also, great prices on sale items (like ten bucks for cute dresses/​jeans/​etc.!).

Heck Yeah!!!
I just moved to the area and when I spotted this store on a run. I came home and read the reviews and went back today and was VERY pleased. All the reviews are correct. They have super cute stuff and the prices are very reasonable! And the people that work there are awesome! You feel like you are friends with them and we don’t even know each others names. haha
I ended up walking out with 2 pairs of pants, shirt and pair of shoes for $ 60! Not bad at all. I will absolutely 100% be checking them out on a regular basis. Especially since I’m so close to them. Keep it up ladies!

Super love! Everyone is so sweet. The other day Theresa entertained my 3 year old so I could try on clothes. Everything is unique and reasonably priced. The clothes are not heirloom pieces, but you can certainly get things that are on trend without worrying about how much it cost if it goes out of style.

If there were more stars… I would absolutely rate Gossip higher. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it earlier.
This is a great boutique. I have been shopping here for almost three years now and have no complaints. Kathy, the owner, is the best! She is a great stylist, always taking care of her customers, will never let you leave with anything that doesn’t look great on you, which is something you would never get in any of those stores at the mall.
Clothes, accessories… everything is just great here. There is something for everyone and everywhere. You can find everything from tights, jeans, underwear to cocktail dresses, wedding appropriate outfits, and work outfits, shoes, purses. The list goes on and on. The best part is that there are only 6 of each item and you know you are not going to end up looking like everyone else. And price vs. quality is awesome.
I have to admit that I was very surprised to see someone rate it with two stars because of the return policy, as there is a sign stating the return policy which is impossible to miss when you are paying.
I love love love this place!

This place was a great find! It’s somewhat of a Forever 21 but locally owned and has much cuter and more practical merchandise. I am always looking for something «different» to wear in my wardrobe and it’s hard to keep my closet stocked with name brand clothing. Here you can find chic pieces and for the right price. I never leave empty handed from here and always wear these clothes more than my J. Crew, etc. The owner is super friendly and outgoing and doesn’t force any purchases on you at all. Their accessories are cute, but the earrings I bought broke halfway through the first time I wore them. This is disappointing, but they cost about $ 6 so I wasn’t torn up about it or anything.

This store is great! I was home visiting my parents for Thanksgiving and stopped in here on a whim. I ended up with two dresses, a skirt, a pair of boots and a bracelet! Everything is so reasonably priced and I’m happily wearing all of my new outfits this week.
It’s a great place to go for gifts too. The owner was very nice and helpful without being pushy at all.

This store was a real find. I’m always trying to think of new things to wear that are not the same olé same olé. I mean you can really only buy so many things from the Loft and Banana Republic before you start looking like everyone else. This store sells things that you can’t find everywhere and the staff is great too.
I love that the store has a little bit of everything and it’s ideally located next to a couple of sports bars. makes for a great halftime break.
I love love love the website too. It makes it easy to just check up on what’s new before I head over there. great way to keep in the loop

Really nice store with unusual finds. I walked in to kill some time while on 23^rd street and to walk off the atracon I had at MIO on Vermont Ave, and walked out with some nice finds for UNDER 60! Lots and lots of funky accessories, nice tops, reasonably priced tanks, super friendly attendant. A very pleasant surprise during an evening stroll up 23^rd!

I am soooooo excited to have found this store… While the store is on the smaller side, it has soooo many wonderful clothes, shoes, bags, glasses, and everything else you could imagine! The owner Katherine is GREAT! I did have a lot of time to shop but I did pick up a cute purse hooker… But I will be returning in the next few weeks to get a purchase a few items! The best place about this store is that there is no item over $ 100! And you don’t have to worry about seeing someone with your shirt out because she only buys 6 of each item she has in the store! Also, I asked her if she had a certain type of ring… she didn’t but she did say the next time she was in Cali she would make sure to pick some up! Now THAT is good customer service! And I will def be back!

Discovered this quaint boutique when I was in DC this past week. Although it is small, Gossip offers trendy clothing at affordable and reasonable prices. The owner was in there when I came in, and she was really nice. Compared to other specialty boutiques I have been in, it’s smaller, but what they do have to make up for being smaller is cute selections of tops, dresses, and skinny jeans. Lots of color and print pieces that are hard to find at reasonable prices.
Beforehand, I had been to Pentagon City Mall, Georgetown, 18^th Street, and 7^th and F Street, and to my disappointment, I was not impressed. I found that many of the shops I had been to were ridiculously expensive and overpriced. I have worked in the boutique sector before so I am familiar with the different lines most of these stores sell – trust me, they are NOT worth $ 150-​$ 300.
Sometimes, things are worth paying more money for, but if you’re looking for casual everyday wear that is unique and at affordable prices, Gossip is a good place to go to. The only thing I wish they had more of a selection on were tops and dresses with some sleeves. Other than that, I recommend you give Gossip a shot.
