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.

I looked around for a week to try and find a one time use tie at lesser store: Ross + TJmaxx for an event and never got lucky. Went here and found two good options - I was very impressed at that selection. Shopping in the area through Covid had become almost unpleasant at some points in time - I'm glad to see all that is over with at least at this store. I just went in for a quick purchase - but I will be back for more soon. Shirts and shoes are super quality at the lowest prices.... and for all the online shoppers out there - trying on shoes or a shirt is important to make sure its comfortable.

The current collection is about 20-25% off and the clearance items is another 30% off. They also have a renewed section for gently used items at drastic discount. As someone who turns in my EF clothing, it's the first time I've seen how it's turned around. I just wish I live closer so I can go when they have better sales. The prices they have are great if you're looking to get something because you need it now. The staff and service were friendly and the store is open and clean with seating for patient shopping companions.

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.

How could a girl not feel like a princess? His shop is full of sparkle, glitter, dresses, material. It's a hot mess. The shop isn't pretty or fancy, but his dresses are fabulous, made for a very specific demographic. He also does event planning, has party supplies, makes outrageous silk flower arrangements if you need that. He's the Latino Austin Scarlett of the quinceinera world. I do not need a quinceinera dress, being a middle aged white woman. I went for alterations. 18 bucks to bring in the waist on one pair of jeans and hem another pair. Done in a week! Was it the best tailoring job ever? No, but it was quick and cheap, and for jeans that I just wear on weekends I'm not that picky. I don't think I'd bring anything designer or really special to be tailored, but for a quick hem or tuck in the waist, it's fine.

As I was leaving a another dress place, Omar's exquisite window design caught my eye. Once we went in the store, I fell in love with a piece that Omar had custom made. He let us know that he custom makes dresses and outfits. He told my mom he could make her dress and he pulled out the swatch book. All he asks is that you pay half the total item amount in order for him to make your item. He said doesn't take him long to do the dress, so give him a date and he'll have it ready. I'm excited to get my finished product. I will post pictures of me and my moms' outfits.

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.

Even when the owner of the TWO stores around the corner tried to give me a dirty suit at a discounted price just so I wouldn't go to Pam's, I still bought my suit with Pam anyway just because of the care and the service she provided to me. Not to mention that the other owner told me before I left to go look at Pam's Imports: "You won't be able to afford her prices, you'll be back." Now mind you, it was a stretch from what I wanted to pay, but I had to ensure that I walked past her store with TWO bags from Pam's just to let you know "Yes I can afford it and I will buy it from someone else other than YOU!" Thank you Pam for your caring and considerate attitude and staff. And for letting me try on hats until I was tired...
