I may be a low maintenance female, but even a person like me likes to shop for good quality clothing sometimes, but that doesn't include overly expensive clothes.
I may like majority of the clothing here and don't get me wrong some of the dresses that I spotted was simply beautiful and I absolutely fell in love with them once I'd seen them, but the disappointment came from the price tag.
Yes, it was the tag hanging from the pieces. It wasn't the associates, the lack of quality nor quantity, but that sole white paper that states the numerical amount that frightened me the most.
It may also be Halloween, so me seeing that sky high price gave me such a scare I don't think I'll be able to recover from..
I was shocked and surprised to find out that this place isn't equivalent to Marshall's, TJ Maxx, or Ross, but nope it's more like another department store that equals to Palais Royal, Macy's, JcPenney's, Dillard's and the rest of them..
Don't be fooled like my mum and I were. The prices were barely reasonable and it was at random we would find an affordable blouses or dresses that were $20 or even $14, but definitely nothing below that.
Majority of the pieces we chose to browse was $30 and up, and that was even on the clearance rack too. Usually the clearance have good deals, but not here. I'd seen a super cute blouse originally priced at $49 and the sale price was $37. Now, that's not a big difference and paying that much for a blouse is ridiculous.. if you do have the money and even if you don't.
I did buy a dress for $20 since the original price was $50; now that's a steal.
The shoe department was very nice with some unique looks, but the same disappointment I appeared on my face.
I really liked the modern baskets or if you say buggies. I'm thinking it was German made..since I've never seen them look so sleek and nice.
Additionally, the associates were friendly, however the new technology with receipts seemed to be only geared toward the technology fiends or addicts: meaning:
1) you have to sign with your finger..now I'm not that old fashioned, but the fact that germs spread so easily and touchscreen devices aren't always the cleanest surface.
2) Not everyone is a smartphone addict expert and knows how to use one. I'm sure lots of people knows how to sign their signature with a pen, except for children nowadays as they aren't being taught cursive handwriting in schools..
3) They ask for your email address and everybody knows having something that is considered spam or unnecessary that is being sent to your personal email can be an annoyance to deal with. The paper receipts are no good either, but at least you can trash them when you don't want them or let them accumulate in your car..but eventually you toss them away.
This definitely wouldn't be the store for me and even when I start in my career..I don't think I'd give this store another chance.. read more
