I have shopped in this Maurices at least a couple of times. During my most recent visit, the store was fully stocked and well organized. As for styles, I am middle-aged, and I always think that some of the clothes look to be for senior women rather than young or middle-aged women, so I would like to see some younger styles. Furthermore, I consider the prices to be moderate, such as $40 for a sweatshirt. I appreciated the clearance section in the back.

This particular store is in the Mall at Robinson. Express is not one of my favorite stores, but I occasionally shop here out of curiosity to see if they have clothing, particularly tops, that I like. I consider most regular prices here to be moderate, and during my recent visit, the store was having a sale for Buy 1, Get 1 50% off, which made the prices more reasonable. I did notice, though, that many of the clothes were in colors that do not flatter my skin tone, such as brown and white. I recommend that the store offer clothing in more colors to match skin tones.

I have only occasionally shopped at Urban Outfitters, and I look only in the women's section. During my most recent visit, the store had a decent selection of women's tops, pants, shorts, skirts, dresses, underwear, etcetera. I liked many of the styles of women's clothing, and I thought that the prices were moderate. Perhaps employees could more frequently greet customers.

I was shocked that the blouse rung up so high at the cash register. If I had known that it was not actually on sale, I would not have bought it. The other blouse that I bought was 50% off for a price of $27.49, which was not inexpensive but OK. I thought that the prices were a bit high for being a so-called outlet store.

I came into this store for the first time on a Thursday night last week. It was freezing cold outside and hardly anyone was shopping in the outlet center.

As I walked around to look at the clothing, an employee kindly asked if I needed any assistance. I did not find any regularly priced clothing to purchase. The styles were decent, but the prices were a bit high. The clearance section had an extra 50% off. Off the clearance racks, I chose a pair of pants and a skirt, both of which I really like, for a total of $50, which I thought was a good deal. I waited in the checkout line for a few minutes. The cashier asked me for my phone number. For some reason, LOFT's computer system had my old phone number from over 11 years ago. The cashier accurately processed my transaction, and she told me to have a great day.
