| - I have met my fair share of thift shops over the years, and I feel like Turn Style is one of the least inviting ones I've visited. It feels very stuffy (even though it is in a very open space), boring, and just all around blah. The clothing racks are long rows, which adds to the bleak cafeteria-like feeling, and the clothing sizes are kind of hard to find and follow. You, a petite woman, may have to walk down a seemingly endless row of blouses before you discover that the smalls are on the opposite side of the whole shop.
Now, I know better than to value thrift shop based on its clean, friendly atmosphere. I get it - I'm looking for diamonds in the rough. Thrift shops are often rough, which is fine. The selection of clothing is what appeals (or doesn't appeal) to me. Turn Style was simply "okay" in regards to selection. I found two shirts I liked at reasonable prices. But considering the amount of time I spent there, two shirts really isn't much.
I may or may not return. I don't dislike it here, but I don't think I'd recommend it either. In my limited experience, I just don't think the quality of merchandise and the less than inviting atmosphere is worth a second trip.
