I absolutely love this place. I've bought some of my favorite miniskirts & sweaters here. (They…read morealways snag me with their windows.) The styles are so unique. (They do all their buying in Europe.) it's definitely higher end, though I have also found some really great things on their sale rack. This is retail at its finest due to the personal attention. The owners are so sweet and very honest. (Plus, they have great taste.) They'll style you and happily bring you things if you'd like. I can always count on them - if something doesn't look good they'll let me know. I've also bought things off of their Instagram and they happily drop it off at my home in one of their gorgeous bags. That's awesome. I always leave with great styles & feeling cheerful. I have several friends who feel the same. .

I happened upon this store as it was on my way to an event. I don't live far, but haven't done a…read morelot since Covid 19 hit us over 1 year ago. It's a beautiful warm and humid day in Chicago and the walk was good. The place is very quaint and small but well lit for shopping. It's a woman's boutique specializing in European clothing. The major designer is Solar and I have not heard of it, but designs are suited for a dressier woman. Thankfully that counts me in as I work in an office where jeans are not allowed and it's conservative so the weekends I can go casual. Back to the store the sizes are European and the lady at the counter (I am assuming is the owner) was very kind to tell me that 34 is usually x-small, 36 is small and 38 is medium. I'm usually a medium but some of her clothing allow for a 34 when I tried on a pair of white slacks. It had a great fit, but buying white is difficult because the material may be more revealing than you might like. Her clothes has many price points as she indicated and sales from the previous season is 20% off. Her summer selection drove me to walk in full of blight yellows, pink, and orange. Do stop in if you're in the neighborhood and support local small businesses!

I've never shopped at Madewell. When I entered, it looked surprising familiar -- a lot of the…read moreclothes looked very similar to clothes in my closet. It is affiliated with J. Crew, where I shop a lot of the time. However, I didn't think the sales were that great (not when J Crew had a 50 percent off sale) and unfortunately a lot of the sizes were very very tiny. Which made me feel bad. Mostly because I couldn't see the prices on the tiny tiny tags with their tiny tiny print and then I realized that the sizes were inside on the label. I slunk out of the store empty-handed.

He located what we wanted, provided shipping options for what they didn't have in store and was so lovely during the visit. It's rare to find the perfect store associate but Naive has got it. He's helpful but not pushy. Kind but not inauthentic. Retail is hellish right now and sales associates are very understandably burnt out, so Naive's help and positivity was a bright spot in our shopping trip. Other store associates present were similarly attentive without being too clingy. Very nice visit overall.

She found me a dressing room and when I went back she found a couple more items for me and my size in something that wasn't on the main floor. And while I only bought this leather jacket, I loved a lot of the interesting clothes and the color of things. Value: I think this is why I took it down a star. It's a bit much. At the same time it is a bit better quality with some items so I can understand, but it's still expensive. I decided to limit myself to about $100. Which is 1 item. Checking out: It was pretty quick. They let me just open my LinkedIn account to verify employment, I didn't have my ID.
