It's amazing how expensive clothing can be these days even at a discount store like Nordstrom Rack. My husband likes Nordstrom Rack so we shop here. I found a reasonable short sleeve knee length blue and white dress. I loved the pattern and style, but when I tried it on I looked too fluffy. Too bad I was all set to buy it. I loved the fluffy sleeves and the length was perfect. I next checked out the shoes. I found some Birkenstock that were my size, but they were still over $100. Too bad, I could have used another pair. They had some nice swimsuit, but also too expensive. The suit I was looking ing at was $68. I bought my 2 suits for under $40 and were just as nice. These prices our out of my price range. I'm thinking this store just isn't for me.

The representative was so friendly on the phone. I called to verify they have clothes for interviews. And I asked if their selection was as big as the Livermore outlet. (It's bigger.) So I made a trip down to check it out. Erica asked me if I needed help. I showed her my prospective employers Insta account. She noted that they didn't have any items with patterns and that I picked out something that did. What a good eye. When she went on break, Nancy took over. She brought me so many great options! She would come back and check to see how they looked. I really appreciate her viewpoint and her honesty. She ended up dressing me head to toe and... she found me two hot interviewing outfits!!! I love that she kept saying I shouldn't look like another suit walking in for an interview. She found outfits that were soooo fabulous!!! I won't be surprised if I get hired just from my apparel. Haha It is sad to read the three star reviews here because they don't pertain to the selection of items but rather experiences of refunds. If you haven't shopped here yet, don't pay attention to the bad reviews. You will be so happy with their merchandise and service. Oh and with the prices too! I can't believe I walked away with a suit jacket under $50! And one of the shirts was $11. Incredible prices as well as selection and service!!!

I haven't…read moreshopped for new clothes in a long time, and when I do, I almost exclusively shop online, but I needed some new items in a pinch, and decided to try the factory store, as I did not want to spend a lot. As it is a factory store, I expected substantially lower prices than the regular Ann Taylor retail stores, so I was rather surprised to find that prices are still quite high here as well. Ummmm, what's the point of a factory store then? I may as well go to the regular store. The store is organized well, neat, and clean, so that's great. The antithesis of the Nordstrom Rack in the same plaza, which I also checked out. The Rack was a disaster. Completely overwhelming, with a huge stock laid out in a very poorly organized fashion. I gave up on that place after a few minutes. But back to Ann Taylor. I found a pair of trousers I liked, and ended up purchasing, but nothing else. There was nothing appealing whatsoever amongst the tops. Unflattering, baggy styles that instantly add 20lbs, way too many ugly, distracting patterns, etc. Who is designing these clothes, seriously? Can I have their job? I'm no expert, but I'm sure I could do better than this. My partner also commented that the designs were fugly, adding "and I'm a dude, I don't know anything about fashion." The staff were courteous and professional, the main reason I'm rounding up to three stars.

Even though I drive past this complex on the freeway often, I also often forget that this is an…read moreoutlet shopping center, albeit a smaller one. I revisited this store over the holidays after a 6-7 year of not. I'm not a huge fashion or shopping guy but over my adult years and knowing my sizes and fits, I just became loyal to certain brands that fit me well or have good luck finding my sizes and styles. Banana Rep is one brand that fills such mold. It just fits my basic taste and their sizings fits my particular body without any altering. I also find the fabric textures to be soothing yet sturdy. I heard Banana Republic is part of the GAP corportation, with Old Navy being the economic level, the Gap being the middle tier and Banana Republic being the higher tier. It always made sense to me. I like this location as it super convenient, the closest to me. It is also less busy as say the Livermore location which can get super tight inside. And on a weekday, this place is super conducive for me, very chill with easy parking. Now outlet shopping can be hit or miss. Sometimes you'll find something nice with a nice pricetag in tow, whilst other times you may find nothing. It's part of the hunt and fun. But I like to get a couple of things occasionally to keep the wardrobe fresh and tight. And this Banana Republic can be a part of that occasion. Giving a long due shout out.

We came here the week before Christmas and everything minus the sunglasses and cologne was 50% off…read more That's a good price considering. Their starting price is way out of my price range. The 50% off helps a lot. I still didn't find anything that caught my eye that was at a price I was willing to pay. They had some nice dresses and evening wear mostly for the New Years Celebrations. I also saw some pretty sweaters. We were mostly coming for my husband. He really likes Banana Republic. We found a pair of pants for his nephew that were comfy and actually fit him. He's got a very tiny waist so it's not easy to shop for him. Most of the pants didn't come in his size, but we found a pair that he approved of. We got it for him for Christmas and he was very happy with them. The store is well organized and is easy to decipher the men's versus women's sections. They even had suits for men. Full on suits, matching slacks and jackets, not just sports coats. They must be competing with Men's Warehouse next door. I was really surprised by finding a suit, the only issue is they don't do tailoring in store so you'd have to find a private Tailor. Returns are easy and quick. Even with it being the holidays the line goes really quick with two registers open. We bought a shirt for my other nephew that we thought he'd like and 50% off was a good deal. We bought it and then went next door to Nordstrom Rack. While at the Rack we found an even better shirt for him so while in line at the Rack we returned the one at Banana Republic and was in and out in a flash. On the other hand the line at the Rack was to the back of the store. So if you are on a time crunch this is the store for you.

After not finding exactly what I wanted, I decided to drive down to the Fremont location at Pacific Commons. As I left the store, at approximately 7:50PM, with my dog and her dog carrier, and I was almost at my car, when the security guard came running after me. I was a bit alarmed at first as he was a big guy, over 6'2" at least and imposing, and he was calling out to me, ma'am, ma'am, Ma'am, and I turn around and he's holding my purse, and he's like ma'am you left your purse in the basket! And I stopped, like stunned, my God he had my purse and I had my entire paycheck inside of there that I had just cashed earlier. I was in a bit of shock because it is so unexpected these days when people return things to you that you've lost or left behind and I was so thrilled. I thanked him profusely and immediately called the store management and let them know what a great security officer they had. And I also wanted to come here on Yelp and tell all of you that this store has literally the best security guard that I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He saved my life that night; if I had lost that money, I would've been in big trouble. I never got his name, but once again I just want to let him know how thankful I am and how proud I am of him. If I was his mother, I would be so proud to have him as my son.
