    A wool blazer for less than $100? Almost unheard of, especially with a tailored fit. Snagged two blazers and a skirt here in the past, and I've gotten plenty of wear out of them. The employees are helpful; shout out to James for searching for various styles in my size. My first world problems include returning empty handed after many shopping trips. They also include flat feet and bad vision, but I digress. If you're slender, sizing options are a bit slim (no pun intended) since the popular sizes are usually the first to go. I do enjoy the minimalist and modern take on classic basics. Never pay full price at department stores when you can come here!

    On a recent exploration for European style suits, I found myself walking into the Theory outlet for help. My wife and two coworkers needed to update their suits to classy, breathable and stylish material. The prices are decent for suits but on the higher end for shirts, sweaters and other casual wear. I can't see a difference between the $100 dress shirts here and the $50 dress shirts at express. Perhaps I am just not as in-tune with fashion for the higher end. The sales associate Sara was really helpful and knew which suits would fit best for everyone's body types. We were in and out with nine full suits in 30 minutes. Much more helpful than the store manager.

Workers were very attentive and helpful. Actually had to go back and buy it bc I couldn't stop thinking about it lol Went to the toy store and found rare stuff my son was hunting for so that was a treat. The staff there were also very helpful and gave my son few free sleeves for his one piece cards. The place is very small, very clean and all the stores were organized. It wasn't very packed on a Saturday, it didn't feel that way but the parking was a hot mess. Lol maybe bc they share parking with the flower field. My favorite is the view of the flower field next door. Really is heaven on earth when you see such colors surrounding you.

    Very strange that majority of the sales being advertised at the outlet stores here are "Buy 1 Get 1…read more50% off".. which to me, isn't much of a deal. Where's the 60, 70% off? Lol. I guess not too common nowadays. These outlets in general is pretty standard with pretty empty crowds so it's not hard to find a parking spot. The vibes here feel like more of a casual mall with the food and iced tea shops having more people in line for than any of the retail stores. However.. I was able to find a great deal at one of the stores! Still worth walking around to look and browse through some stores. Children activities.. they have a fun life-sized checkers board to play with and even a train ride.

I don't understand how hard it is to say "Welcome" or "Hi". Do I not look like your typical client? They seem to judge whom they're going to engage with and not engage. From other reviews on here this seems to be on ongoing issue with the employees. It's all about the TRAINING!!! I like the clothes but I just can't see giving money to this establishment when the employees can't engage. I walked in yesterday and there were two employees who never once said one thing to me. I walked around picked up something I was going to buy and then I put it back because no one spoke to me. This has not been the first time no one has spoken to me. I walked out and down the street and made purchases at two other boutiques because they were friendly and engaging. Please teach your staff how to be kind and welcoming to all. It's really not that hard. The women working here don't seem to care about customer service or they don't know how to engage with customers because they haven't been trained. I still have a gift card to use here and it will be awhile before I decide to use it or give it to someone else.

The thing is Aranelle no longer carries this brand BUT she was able to know what bag I was describing and directed me to where I could find it. That is a woman who knows her store!

I purchased items on a black Friday sale and was told at the time that I could exchange the items if they didn't fit right. Each pair of pants is a little different and 2 of the 6 didn't fit as expected, so I came back to exchange 2. I ended up finding 2 different color pants that fit much better, and both pairs selected to exchange were equal or lesser retail price than my original purchase. So what did they do? They tried to charge me MORE for the exchange! They claimed the exchange cost is based on the going price for that day of the exchange. Sorry Volcom but that's not an exchange- it is a return and repurchase. None of the 3 employees there seemed to care. They were not busy and I guarantee the manger could have made this right but didn't care to do so.
