Situation: I've been to a couple Strawberry locations and this one is by far my favourite. Last weekend I needed a cute day-to-night outfit and only had 2 hours so I ran in and bought an expensive looking black crop top embroidered with a fleur-de-lis inspired print and die-cut suede shoes with ankle straps. Wearing these with a maxi skirt with a slit in the back, I went to Central Park, a gala, dinner date, spa and just out and about--the compliments kept coming!
PROS
-Staff is reasonably friendly (unlike the Strawberry location on 34th street, where when I asked if they could help me get the last Small off the mannequin I was rudely told off!)
-Merchandise is relatively organized, easy to find
-If you're willing to dig, you can find some nice quality stuff! e.g. designer brand names, wide variety of adorable shoes
-General price point of $10-$30
CONS
-Some of the styles they offer are a bit tacky
-It does take some digging to find the good stuff that's mixed in with the not-so-good
-Due to the price point, the merchandise is similar to the quality you'd find at Forever 21 (it won't last you forever)
-If you enter through the first floor, it looks a little discouraging as it's small and only has lingerie and some unfriendly looking staff/security. But take the stairs and let the treasure hunting begin!
In a nutshell...
If you're looking to stock up on cheap, fashionable clothing and shoes and willing to take the time to look through their inventory, you will very likely score some nice additions to your wardrobe! read more
