Ellicott City, what a charming and wonderful place. A friend recommended that we check out this…read moreplace in our road tripping journey and this place did not disappoint. As I was packing for our East Coast adventure, I was thinking fall weather clothing: boots, beanies, light jackets.....oh but on our last two days, mother nature said NOPE, I am bringing the heat! It was hot and we were slightly dying, as we passed Sweet Elizabeth Jane, not only was their storefront display soooo cute, but we could feel the AC blasting when we passed by. Seriously, this was the reason why we went in. Not knowing what to expect, I was surprised. The store was two floors, but not only did it have the cute souvenirs and Christmas decor that was visible as we passed by, but it had cute clothes and accessories. What a gem of a store....it was boutique plus, plus!!! This store has my heart. It was hard to narrow down my shopping since I had to be mindful that I had a carry on and personal item to travel back home. I couldn't resist and decided to purchase items and just ship them to myself back home. I bought a shawl/jacket in the most wonderful Olive Green color that is perfect for walking and driving in. I also got the softest scarf. Customer service was top notch. I saw this scarf on display on a mannequin and I asked if it came in different colors and they went to go look since I am not a big fan of the browns in my attire choices. I got a gray/black combo scarf. Since we had cooled down significantly as we were shopping, we got hungry and asked if we could place the items on hold since we didn't want to carry our purchases until the end of our exploration and headed back to the car. I gave them my name, they placed the items on hold and we went to eat. When we came back, the store associate remembered my name and that our items were on hold. She also told me that they have a website with many items for sale from their actual sales floor that could be shipped and proceeded to tell me how the store got started. She wrapped the items with care and off we were. Prices are completely reasonable for a store of this caliber. This store could easily fit into the vibe of Stanford Shopping Center, Santana Row, downtown Carmel, etc.....but I KNOW that this place will blow any rivals strictly due to their fair pricing, storefront size and their unique items. Thank you, thank you for existing!! ::hearts::

In a clean freak frame of mind this place may give you a panic attack and claustophobia. The items here are used/preowned with minimal wear or tear. I saw some boys shirts for about $5 and so forth. Endless clothing items, shoes, purses, and even a toy section in the back. Cool place for the right consumers. I was surprised by the amount of parents inside. I guess that's how some people save money and they don't have to know it's used. I spotted a brand new pair of ice skates! old school G.I. Joe toys....I was in awe, but didn't need anything from the Elephant Trunk at the time, so I just wandered through the tight historic house. Check out the pictures I've posted, I snuck them.

We had…read morebeen to a different Uptown Cheapskate and liked it that we decided to check out this location. It was a total whim and not planned. What I enjoyed is the organization of their products. Makes things so much easier when shopping. It seemed that there was more items at this store from tops in my size to handbags. I found a couple of things to try on...the fitting rooms are big and having different hooks made it easier to sort the items that I wanted to take vs pass on. I ended up buying two handbags, three shirts and a pair of Nike shoes. The shoes was the best purchase because I had been eyeing the same model but just in different colors. It was hard to justify since I didn't know if the shoes were going to be comfortable. Lo and behold....they were here at Uptown. They were my size, very comfortable and it looked like they had never been worn. SCORE! Plus, they were under $50, making them almost three times less expensive than what they originally run for. Staff was friendly during our time shopping at the store. Parking was plentiful since this store is in a shopping center. Too bad I live in on opposite side of the country, but I will definitely come back again. I have already worn my Nikes and have received compliments on them....I've been telling everyone, go to Uptown Cheapskate!

The girl took one look at them and said. Oh, this stuff is a good enough for us. We don't want any of it. It's terrible condition. Never go here again, never suggest going here. I think because my granddaughter was black even though she's very classy. Young lady, we'll behave and groomed. But because she was black they refused to by anything from her. I strongly believe this.
