Chico's is directly across the way from Coldwater in the Monroeville Mall. Here's the difference between the two, as I see it: Coldwater is business casual and Chico's is resort wear.
Monroeville's Chico's is on the small side, but they make the most of the small space and still manage to offer a great amount of trying-on area.
Chico's offers great stand out pieces and often I feel like one piece from their line is about as loud as I'm willing to shout in an outfit. An entire ensemble would make me feel way too I'M OVER HERE, but if I'm looking for a little middle aged fashion focus fun this is where I turn. BTW - couldn't hate the term middle aged more, but there's a definite demographic targeted here and, well, I'm certainly it!
Chico's jewelry is often way too much for me, but they have an abundance of scarves and pattern-pop in their clothing lines so there is no reason to feel unfinished or bling-deprived, if going for the whole enchilada!
The Monroeville staff is very friendly and helpful and the store shows its merchandise very well. Oh yes - and there's always a sale going on! read more
