Blue Velvet is part of my North Loop Jaunt (every few months I head over to the neighborhood and…read morehit up my favorite places). It's also been sitting in my draft reviews for quite awhile (for those of you tracking). Started coming here a couple of years ago, around 2023 and just love it. It's a smaller store but they have lots of well-curated pieces and a really good selection of formal wear, dresses, skirts, jewelry, etc. I was prompted to take care of this draft review and a few others today because of a dress in the window here. A friend was recently in town visiting and asked that I go back and get a picture of the dress in the window. She is thinking about purchasing it (or having me purchase it and send it to her lol). Anyway, here's something to know: items displayed in the window have waitlists for folks intersting in purchasing. Anytime I have been in the shop, including today, service is friendly and helpful. The store is clean and the vintage pieces they carry are in pristine condition. You know what I like to say at this point-shop local, support small businesses!

Blue Velvet vintage is a cool, quirky and eclectic vintage store! The store good variety of both…read moremen's and women's vintage clothing, spanning multiple decades (notably mid‑20th century through late 20th century). Interestingly, the store combines vintage items with some modern items. For example, socks, some jewelry and sunglasses are non-vintage. While the store is small, it is easy to browse. In addition, clothing and shoe items are spaced apart where you can easily view them and ferret through the racks. The value of items are reasonably priced and some items as low as $5. I did not find anything I could not live without, however, I will definitely pop in from time to time. Also, there is a fair amount of free parking. The store manager was super helpful and personable.

The selection is amazing, the prices are great, and the pieces are beautiful and high-quality -- but what truly sets this location apart is the people. Ann, Janette, and Rocky completely changed the experience for me. They made me feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely taken care of. Shopping there didn't feel like a chore -- they turned it into an experience, full of laughter and good energy. They truly made every visit feel like an adventure. Because of them, I kept coming back. I even visited another Gap location just to compare -- and it didn't even come close. This isn't just the best Gap I've been to. It's the best retail experience I've had, period. If you're anywhere near this location, go. You'll understand exactly what I mean.

There are boutiques in the area but if you forgot your suitcase and need to replace all your outfits for day to night you can do it here if you have to. Otherwise you'll have to drive through traffic for 20-45 minutes for just something basic. Please keep this location alive! The service is always helpful, maybe even overly so at times.

Games, classic collectible toys, and even miniatures all add up to the perfect compliment to an unrivaled stash of comics and graphic novels. I do wish the emphasis was more directed at games and a game playing area would be a nice addition, but I really can't complain. You'll always find something your collection needs at Outlaw Moon.

I keep seeing 3 star reviews because this location is "hit or miss" which is confusing to me…read morebecause that's how Marshalls is supposed to work I thought? Anyway, yes, sometimes it's fire and other times there's hardly anything good. Besides that it's consistently pretty clean and organized and the staff is friendly enough. There's usually someone nearby to help if you need it. The times I've been the lines don't typically get too long, and when they do the staff is quick to open up new registers and move everyone along. I'm a big fan of the home goods section, there's usually something there that will catch my eye. Though I don't always take it home with me. That and the beauty section are where I spend most of my time. It's a Marshalls so the prices are reasonable. Good spot if you have time to browse and don't have anything particular in mind to get.

I will say that their furniture leaves a lot to be desired, and I will often see damaged pieces that they will further discount due to the damage, but the discount will literally be $7. I'm talking a fully smashed shelf on a bookshelf...that item is unusable, -$7 is unreasonable. Nevertheless, I go at least once each month to scavenge through the aisles, and 5/10 times I find something good! I went the other day and found some awesome puppy toys and other goodies for pets. So, check it out if you have time to really search.
