Want to be body shamed within 2 minutes of walking in the door? This is your place…read more Unsolicited critiques of my body and stature when you're trying to sell me your goods is not a winning sales technique. Here's a tip: I can figure out if something doesn't fit me all by myself. I don't need your insulting judgments to help me feel bad about myself. And what if I was there to buy a gift? Guess what, I won't be. Note: I did not purchase anything here. So I cannot speak to the quality of their goods. I'm only providing my experience with their salespeople. And since that's a huge part of the buying experience, I felt it necessary to leave this review.

This is another place I am hesitant to let out of my secret shopping destination repertoire, but I…read morethink you need to know about it. As Joy mentioned, there are some kick ass deals on sample size (6-6.5, and sometimes a dapple of size 7s too) designer shoes and there are occasionally clothes that I like too. I have to say, it can be very hit or miss. There is a whole room, albeit a small one, filled with shoes but sometimes it's all a bunch of stuff I don't like. That doesn't mean you won't find a gem or two. Also, with the clothes, to be honest the selection is usually more suitable to my mom's taste than mine, but they get some quality young people designers in there too. I would definitely add this place as a stop on your trip to DSW and Bridgeport.

Now that Lloyd Center Torrid closed, I have to go to the suburbs when I want to visit Torrid. Their…read morefashion is definitely geared to a younger demographic so there aren't many pieces that work for me. That being said, their black millennial stretch slacks rock! Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they are a true black and retain the color and shape no matter how many times you wash them. They have a good amount of stretch while still hanging nicely with a tailored fit, looser in the lower leg, with a comfortable waist. My only complaint is they need to lose the three hooks and replace with one snap or button. I have several pairs and they are my go to when I want to wear something a little dressier than jeans. Perfect for the office and they are fantastic for travel because they are lightweight, pack well, and don't wrinkle. This season they have a higher waist trouser version which I plan on buying. Torrid also has a lot of beautiful flowing dresses that are fitted in the waist and gently cascade over your hips. I'm a sucker for a good maxi dress and I have bought several. Their bathing suits are extremely supportive, well made and stylish. I've bought a few tankini tops and just love them. I swim laps for an hour every day and go through many suits a year because chlorine destroys them. The tankini top from Torrid has a modern geo pattern (not old lady patterns of ginormous flowers) with thicker material that holds its shape while holding in mine! The lace details at the chest give it a little sexy without being over the top. Gorgeous and wears beautifully. My only gripe is that I wish they did the standard sizing because it's just easier. They have adopted a 0-6 sizing which they say is easier. It's not! Every other store does 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, etc, and because their sizing is generous, it makes the translation challenging. More so when ordering online and you can't try it on. For me, I learned to translate their numbers to the standard and then go one size down. I'm not flattered by the illusion that I've gotten smaller! I could care less about the number, my focus is 100% on the fit regardless of size. This Torrid is conveniently located between a Lane Bryant, where I buy my bras, and Old Navy where I buy all of my compression leggings, so when I'm out this way, I stop in to see what the season brings. Torrid often has sales and I find the online sales are far better than what is in the store. But since I need to try things on and I refuse to pay shipping, I order online and have it shipped to the store for free. If I see something while I'm in in the store that I like, I always go to their website to see the online price, which is typically lower, and they will honor it. Staff is friendly and helpful. Store is clean and organized. Plenty of parking out front with other stores close by. Right off I-5 I now visit this store when I'm out in the Lake Oswego area.

Often I buy online, but if I need to exchange for a different size, this is where I go. Prices online are sometimes different, and by different I mean better because they offer different sales. The store always honors the online prices. This is true of all Old Navy brick & mortar stores. Here, they do it without hesitation and often the savings are quite large. Also, when ordering online, they give option for in store pick up to avoid the shipping cost. The majority of times, this is the store that has my desired item, in my size, in stock. So easy to make purchase online and request pick up here. The item is bagged and ready for me when I arrive. Parking lot right out front easy access on and off of I-5.

The cashier seemed completely unfamiliar with how to process a cash refund and spent several minutes calling for help.

Now retired, and the PDX outpost is gone, this location gives me my fix. Mapel's has lots of basics and layering pieces, which is perfect for me and our PNW weather. I tend to wear solid colors, so their styles work for me. They also have some prints, but I prefer solids. During my last visit, they had some very pretty sweaters, but this year's style is boxy, which doesn't work for my shape. They have a variety of jeans, a nice selection of winter coats and vests, plus there were holiday dresses and pieces on sale. Make sure to check out the clearance in the far back corner. Sprinkled amongst the clothing is some fashion jewelry and gift items. Always worth a stop, as you never know what you will find.

Plus check out the beautiful home decor. The style of Sundance, founded by Robert Redford, is relaxed, casual boho chic. They have lots of silver jewelry with touches of turquoise and coral; clothing in sand and shades brown with colors of a warm desert sunset mixed in; home decor in the same warm, earthy hues. I find it very soothing. Many of the sweaters and clothing items have Aztec prints or soft floral designs. Lots of calf length cardigans and big oversized sweaters which are even more popular this year during Covid when people are seeking loose, comfortable clothing. Their jewelry speaks to me, especially their collection of earrings from a variety of artists. Silver is my preference on its own or mixed with gold, and long and dangly is my style. They have so many options. While they don't call out Ayla Bar, I recognize many of the pieces from her collection. Made from Czech glass, mixed metals and fabric, her signature design stands out and I'm happy to see her pieces as part of the Sundance curated collection. The store itself has the same vibe as the items within. Casual, relaxed, worn in like your favorite pair of jeans. The people working here are friendly, helpful, and most important, leave me to browse at my leisure! Located on the same strip as the Regal Theatre, across from Pendleton and right next to Sephora, somehow it took me a few years to realize Sundance was at Bridgeport. How the heck did I miss that? Well, now I know and I'm telling you!!! Whenever I am at Bridgeport, I will definitely be stopping in to check out the merchandise as it changes seasonally. Sundance is a destination for me; meaning I will now go to Bridgeport deliberately just to go to Sundance! It's one of my favorite stores!

Gorgeous store, but strange vibe from one of the sales staff…read more I'm a huge fan of the Sundance catalog. I've been buying stuff online from Sundance for both myself and my husband for well over 10 years. Some of our favorite sweaters, coats, and shirts are from Sundance. When I discovered this store in Tigard (I live in Portland), I was thrilled to go there and see the merchandise in person. I wasn't disappointed by the store. It is stunning! If I worked there, I'd spend my salary buying everything. I went there with my husband (or I should say I dragged him there -- he hates shopping). I hadn't intended to buy anything, but I saw a gorgeous sweater (of course) and my sweet husband wanted to purchase it for me for my upcoming birthday. The sales person that helped me and showed me to the dressing room was charming. Things got weird when my husband paid for the sweater. When he handed his American Express card to the person that rang him up (not the same person that helped me), she said that she hadn't seen an American Express card of that color in a long time. We have the green card, the basic American Express card. I guess most of their customers have gold or platinum (or higher level) cards? WTH? I made a joke that turquoise is my favorite color. (I think the green American Express card looks turquoise.) Anyway, I'll let you decide what her intent was. For me, that comment was insulting. We won't be back. I'll be buying from the catalog from now on.

All the pieces work together; if you buy black slacks, the black tops are the exact same shade of black. This may sound simple but it actually isn't! Matching blacks or grays or camels is a challenge. To me, this brand is "garanimals" for adult women. They offer lots of great travel clothes made in Jersey fabrics so they are soft, non-restrictive, comfortable and don't wrinkle! But the clothing here is expensive; for example, the wide leg Jersey pants are in the $229 range. For me, that's expensive! I used to wear these pieces when I traveled weekly for my job. Often I flew across the country or overseas and when i arrived at my destination, I was picked up and taken directly to a business meeting. Yes, that was my previous life! Wearing the travel pants and a jacket from Eileen Fisher ensured that I was polished and presentable upon arrival. Now that I don't travel for business meetings, I stop in the boutique once in a while to look at the new inventory but rarely do I purchase. I prefer more form fitting clothes with cuts that flatter, in colors, and clothing that is more unique. The boutique is bright, clean and well organized as one would expect at a high end shop. It is on the smaller size, but since it's dedicated to just the Eileen Fisher Brand, there is still a broad selection. The women working there are very knowledgeable and will help select styles that work for your shape and requirements. If they don't have an item in the store, they will order and have it shipped to you at no cost. And if you shop there often, they will even proactively call you when an item arrives that they think you will like.
