The no sales tax plus the fact that some of the shoes were on sale lured me in. I ended up dropping $250, $105 for a pair of cool green distressed Fluevogs, and $150 for a pair of wild ass powder blue MBT's. I also got my sister a little cool hand purse. My friend got a really nice pair of New Zealand Hurraches. I have been wearing the same shoes for years, so now I have some funky new ones.

Village Shoes could have: - paid for the return shipping and sent a replacement pair that matched or - paid for the return shipping and given me a refund or -offered me a partial refund reflecting the fact that they had sent me defective goods but instead they insisted that the mismatched shoes were fine and made me pay for return shipping and then refunded only the cost of the shoes, leaving me without the shoes that I wanted in the first place. The whole ridiculous experience cost everyone involved money and time, and frankly made no sense. Unless they just don't care about keeping customers.

My personal experience with this women's clothing/accessories store was watching Gayle look at and…read moretry on various items that piqued her fancy. And after a short while, I assured her that she should take all the time she wanted and that in the meantime I would wander around downtown. Gayle looks pretty fabulous in most everything she wears, so I wasn't worried about having to validate any of her wise choices. However, she does need to take me shopping, because perhaps on a few levels, I don't have a clue. From my perspective, Earthly Goods is a very attractive store that consists of a main floor and 2 mezzanine areas. There were also a couple of nice "male seats" available along with reading material. Gayle liked the selection, along with many of the styles and how they looked on her. However, she was not quite ready to "pull the trigger" on any of her choices. I have a strong hunch that we'll be back.

Big Mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now." I also had a two year old in tow. The bathroom policy is the stores, I think, and not the salespersons. I have tried to supporth this local business even though many people I know will not shop there because of the salespeoples snarky and condescending attitudes towards people they think are "tourists". I will not be shopping there anymore. Everything there can be found online. I think many people will follow my lead based on the huge response the post above received on Facebook.

Thrifting is supposed to make secondhand clothing affordable, not charge retail prices for used and donated items.

So I was interested to visit the new 'costume shop' in the Railroad District that opened this summer to see what they had in stock. Renaissance Rose offers a variety of themed costumes you can rent or purchase. They have packaged costumes similar to what you'll find around Halloween at other retailers, but also some more interesting pieces. At this point their website seems to be pretty basic, so hopefully that will expand in the future. After visiting both stores, I think the main location still has the broadest selection of items for purchase. Especially wigs, hosiery and accessories. But, if you are looking for a more unique rental, then the costume shop is worth a visit. I was most interested in the hair pieces near the back of the shop.
