If you did not have a chance to make a comment on Part 1, there is still time! The Gift Certificate will be waiting at the counter with the winner’s name. While it might be fun to check out Camas this weekend, it will be good for six months. Check out the Accentuate page on Facebook to stay updated on new arrivals.
When I first walked into the store a couple of years ago, two things struck me: 1.The price point was very reasonable. There were some higher end bags and clothing, but also things I could easily afford. 2.There were styles for every age group. How often do you see that in a small store? For this post, I will let the pictures do the talking. Hats off to store owner, Sandra Koceja and former owner/present employee, Rhonda Ackman for their great sense of style and keen eye for what women love. Rhonda and Sandra tag team at market to find some unique pieces.
Accentuate specializes in tops for a special occasion. In our area, Vegas is a popular destination. Any of these combinations could also be worn for a fun night out locally.
A little more dressy..
Dresses: Something for a wedding and some a bit more casual.
Career Wear (Department stores have even stopped carrying many options for women who need a tailored look in the workplace)
Casual Tops
Jewelry! A full selection of Brighton pieces including charms (sorry, no photo) and unique designs such as Holly Yashi and Jazzola. Accentuate is one of the only stores to carry Brighton in Clark County.
Denim Bar: Joes, David Kahn, AG, Mavi, Jag, Kut from the Kloth and Worn. You can find a pair of jeans at Accentuate for $69.
I asked two employees to pick something they loved from the store and be my models. I wanted to further emphasize that there would be some things teenagers would like and be able to afford at Accentuate.
Savannah Cooper will be a Senior at Camas High School in the fall.
Angela Kern will be a Freshman at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. A big thanks to both girls for modeling.

I love the last dress on the left! I have bought items at Accentuate for dressy, casual, professional! I love their versatility!
OK, I am so so sad that I live in MICHIGAN!!! I read your post faithfully and love everything you have to say. I would be so excited to come and visit and shop in all these cool stores. My husband comes to windsurf every year @ The Gorge and is determined that we take a 3 week trip west next summer, so we’ll see. THEN, I could come visit all these great stores. This one in particular looks just darling!
CUTE tops! I so wish I lived closer so I could visit often or that we had a store like this in Eugene. Can’t wait to visit the store and have some fun updating my wardrobe!
I LOVE the white top with the ruffles around the neckline. I am really starting to appreciate the more flirty, feminie tops which I wouldn’t have enjoyed ten .years ago. I can’t wait to visit Accentuate Boutique.
Wow Karen!! You are amazing…keep finding good stuff for us!
