Be cautious about buying clothing gifts. I received a great sweatshirt for Christmas (not on…read moresale). Still tagged and everything, attempted to return it and the old woman at the counter thumped the sign at her register stating no returns or exchanges. It was a gift, so I had no idea and drove a bit to get there. I attempted to call first, and well...you should hear their outgoing message. Another testament to their lack of service. Kind of sad as I would like to support small businesses, but definitely not coming back to this place.

Listen- I was born…read moreand raised in Austin, Texas so I know consignment shops to a "T". After moving to Kansas City I quickly scoured the town for the best in the area-and headed off to several in both Westport and Overland Park that Yelp claimed were some of the best in town. This shop, however, is BY FAR heads and shoulders above the rest. When you walk into this store everything about it screams upscale, chic, modern-yet-vintage boutique. The decor is perfection (and something I always promise I will try to craft for my own home) and the window displays are perfectly styled to give you an idea of the season's trends and the store's offerings. The owners/staff are also the most welcoming, friendly bunch I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. (I can tell you I've walked into Ditto and Clothz Minded several times and never once been told "Hi" or treated like a valued customer. ) And if the initial greeting doesn't sell you-try plucking something off the rack and wait to see how long it takes one of the owners or staff to offer to place your items in a fitting room for you a-la-Free People and other high end boutiques. THAT'S customer service, my friends. As far as some of these negative reviews go-I'd like to remind everyone that one of the most important parts of owning a store like this is knowing your buyer. They can't buy everything you want to sell them-they'd hemorrhage money like crazy if they purchased everything people bring in. If the put forth the money for purchase-they need to know the item is going to have a buyer. I know it's hard to walk into a store, hopeful that you will receive a ton of money for items you no longer want. But unfortunately if you no longer want them you have to realize there's a good chance that others won't either. And it's Revive's job to make that tough decision so when I - as their buyer - go there looking for new fashion finds I'm not slapped in the face with ten year old GAP pieces that were on trend in 2009 or a plethora of forever 21, american eagle and other teeny bopper brands that have no place being in the wardrobe of anyone over 15 (I'm looking at you Ditto. *glare*) And this is why I can't say enough great things about this store. ALL of the clothing I've purchased has been on trend, in perfect condition (sometimes NWT) and sold at MUCH better prices than online retailers or other local consignment stores. I've walked out with Free People and Marc Jacobs for under $10. I've purchased a $1000 limited edition AUTHENTIC Coach bag from them for $350 after discounts. And EVERY time I visit I purchase at least one jewelry item that the owner has specifically purchased a gold and silver version of to sell in the store (if the silver version is out-I've probably gotten there before you. :D) And that says a LOT about this store and the owner's understanding of the fashion industry. As a buyer I feel like this store was MADE for me. Do I like everything they have on the racks? No. Do I walk in every time thinking "Ugh, this is my favorite store and I'm about to do some damage?" Yes. Do yourself a favor and give this shop a try. Don't let the negative reviews fool you-this place is a gem that'd I'd completely miss if I ever left KC. * And in response to the lone review about the replica bag-do homework before ever purchasing something from a brand like Louis Vuitton or Coach that is known to be easily counterfeited. If you are ever unsure and authenticity is of great concern to you-I'd recommend checking out readily available online guides to assist you in your purchase. Revive's owners are human-good fakes happen to the best of us.

Yesterday, I dropped off a mix of clothes. The girl was nice, told me my clothes would be reviewed…read moretomorrow, and to come when I receive a text. Fast forward to today: I receive a text message saying my clothes have been processed and I have an offer ready. Excited, I arrive at the store, only to be told that they are looking for fall clothes. They told me to bring my clothes next year. No offer was given. I'm sorry, but it is not good business to tell someone that he/she has an offer ready, only to not receive any money at all. Additionally, there were clothes I brought that, with the right accessories, such as a shrug, could easily be fall clothes because of the colors. At first, I told them to donate my clothes, but after giving it some thought, returned and took them back. I wish the girl yesterday would have told me they are only accepting fall clothes. I would have gone through the box and pulled out the fall pieces right then and there. Instead, I feel like they didn't go through the box in its entirety and my time as a customer was not valuable to them.

I visited the Independence location before the holidays and found far too many cute clothes. It's really difficult to find cute, contemporary and still youthful clothes when you have curves, so this is a big deal. The store was small, but there were sales and bargains everywhere.

Granted, I've always been a fan of Torrid's clothes but finding something can often be hit or miss for me. As I have to find the line between fun and professional for work. However, having woken up this morning, realizing I have NO Summer clothes, I hit Torrid on a mission! Not only do they have a plethora of cute clothes for a curvy girl (that would be me) but the service was great. The sales girl went out of her way to help me find some fun pieces and even dig through the dreaded mess that is a clearance rack! Now that's something I don't always have the patience for on my own, so it's very much appreciated. 3 dresses, 1 Shirt, 1 pair of shorts and a very cute tank top all for less than $150. Seriously, where else will someone help you score a deal over going for the upsell! Great service, so much so that I definitely be back even though Independence is a bit out of my way for a shopping spree!

Years ago I managed a store in what was then the Metro North mall. Life happened and I found myself…read moreliving and working on the west coast. Fast forward 40 years and I am back in Missouri, retired, married, and living in the Northland. Knowing that Metro North has been gone for many years I was curious about Macy's and whether it was the same part of the original mall. Needing a fleece jacket and shirt, I took the opportunity to check it out. First, I found out that it is the original location and building that was an anchor of the Metro North mall. Although it sits alone on a sprawling lot you'd never know it once you were in. The interior is clean and organized. Sadly - though not surprisingly - there weren't many customers and employees were few and far between. However, those we interacted with were friendly, personable, and happy to share their thoughts. I found the men's selection sufficient but I did have to cull through numerous racks. No biggy as I left with the jacket I wanted and a nice enough shirt. As to pricing, most things are marked down from their manufacturer's suggested retail price, so not as pricey as one might expect. The experience left me reminiscent of days gone by when mall shopping was the norm. The only non-punitive deficit is that the escalators were non-functional but I get it. Pro tip: They take Apple Pay! If shopping in a pleasant environment staffed with friendly people and the benefits only available in such a place is appealing, I can highly recommend Macy's. I know I'll be going back.
