Upon entering, you will quickly that the store is clearly divided by women, men and kids. The store was super clean because I did not notice stains on the floor or clothes all over the place. Perhaps my next statement is due to changing fashion trends (that I was unaware of), but I did not see too much variety in clothing for men. For this shopping excursion, I was interested in purchasing a couple of pairs of jeans. However, most of the jean styles were baggy and "super" wide. Even the regular jeans were a bit too baggy for my liking. Although I was not looking for larger sizes, I did not see too many jeans styles with waist sizes greater than 34. Even though I did not find a pair of jeans that interested me, I thought that maybe I could pick up some graphic T-shirts. Nope! I did not see much of a variety in these shirts. I remember years ago that H&M would be my go-to place to purchase graphic T-shirts. Perhaps, times have changed and H&M no longer carry a large variety of these types of shirts.

The floor set up was somewhat confusing but I managed to find a good deal. A linen dress perfect for beach trips and muggy weather for less than $14. The fitting room wasn't exactly the cleanest and nobody was there. It was somewhat frustrating trying to find and flag down chattering associates to get me rung up, but the store experience itself felt ok. Would I return again? Most likely not because of the lack of what I'd normally wear, but I'm sure everyone else loves shopping there.

Plenty of Michael Stars, 525 America Sweaters, and some other more unusual very unique boutique lines. A small store with extremely well-selected inventory. But the highlight of Wear it Well, which I feel is best for women 30 and up, is the longtime owners and employees. I walked in today, told them I wanted to toss my wardrobe out the window, and they proceeded (not overselling, not oversolicitously) to help me come up with some great ideas, good combinations, and a host of things I wouldn't have picked out b/c I'm stuck in my own dull clothing groove. They really worked with me to ensure that I found some special things, and I don't think I'll toss the clothes I bought out the window with the others b/c they do push my proverbial envelope. That's what I needed. When the economy hits hard...and even when it doesn't...I make an extra effort to shop locally. Wear it Well is the kind of carefully merchandised, very well-run boutique that will earn your loyalty. Before you drive to the mall, walk down the street and visit these great gals. Watch out...they talked me into buying an absurdly expensive belt even though I don't wear belts. You know, I think it will become one of my favorite purchases ever! Plus, it's so pricey, I'm going to wear it to sleep every night no matter what.

I absolutely love this boutique! They have a great selection of evening, casual wear and everything in between. The employees are very friendly and helpful. I came after recommendation of a friend for a gown to wear to a black tie gala held annually through work. The employees actually took the time to hand select gowns they thought I would like. I left with a gorgeous navy blue beaded gown, earrings and beautiful clutch to match. I felt like a princess in that dress and I received so many compliments! I will definitely return! read more

There are some more 'everyday' items, such as the natural (undyed) overall-style cotton bib dress I got with buttons and a pocket on the front, plus pockets on the sides. It's practical and fun, with that cultural touch and connection that I enjoy .... It's very useful and I wear it regularly. Cotton is also good for the skin! This shouldn't require an exclamation mark to convey some meaning of surprise, but it's amazingly difficult to find something like this so much of the time. Other cotton dresses I'd tried were uncomfortable with annoying seams -- but this one is more flowy and made to be worn with a shirt underneath so that works very well for me. I also got a ring and I really need to go back to see the new-style Indian shoes that have grippy bottoms, and other small things I haven't gotten a chance to see as of yet ....

She made a small on the spot alteration to adjust the top to fit me better and invited me to come back later for a free more thorough job. I wish I'd gotten her name, but she was a lifesaver!

They seem really well organized by size for easier browsing. The space is clean and neat. There was another bride trying on dresses but Missy said hi and introduced herself and asked for a moment as another bride finished up her appointment so I took a seat. The experience was great. I came by myself since my friends could not clear their schedules in time given my quick scheduling. The place is called Fairytale and it did feel like Missy could be a fairy godmother. She had referenced the images I shared for inspo and had found a couple dresses like them for me to try. She also noticed I wasn't feeling quite comfortable in how I looked and was so encouraging. She suggested a couple of other dresses that I ended up liking more than I expected. She was showing how certain other dresses or details can help me feel like the right things are accentuated. She also gave some really helpful tips including dress timeline, tailoring, and candid yet kind thoughts. I did not catch the name of the other staff who was helping her but she was also awesome. They both helped me in and out of dresses. The other person also helped take pictures for me to reference later and even came running out with my phone when I left without it and only realized when I got in my car. They were both great.
