| - I stumbled upon Patty's Closet after getting my eyebrows waxed one fine morning. I honestly didn't even know we had one in our area. I had heard about them from Mercedes on Mix 94.1 but never cared to stop in (mainly because I was too fat to shop there). Now that I have lost 80 pounds...don't mind if I do ;)
The associate asked me if I had ever shopped there before and when I said "no" she gave me a little lesson on how it all works. They carry two of each size, in each design (i.e. 2 smalls, 2 mediums & 2 larges). The biggest size they have is a large. They never reorder the same pieces, so if they run out of your size in that particular style then you snooze you lose!
The clothes are arranged in color coded areas. All of the clothes are at the front of the store, there's awesome funky pieces of jewelry in the middle of the store (think chunky rings, necklaces & bracelets), spandex items and belts on the side of the store, shoes in the back left and two dressing rooms on the back right. Speaking of the dressing rooms - they are so roomy and cute! I absolutely loved how they were decorated in a shabby chic look! I wanted to sneak some of the decor out for my own house :)
The two associates were super sweet and helpful. I don't know what's the "in trend" right now and I don't really know how to dress since losing weight so they were very helpful in helping me select the perfect outfit that complimented my figure. I ended up getting a red & white stripped maxi dress (with an open back), a bandeau top for underneath and a thick, white belt for the dress...all for under $50! Yay!
The only thing I was a tad annoyed with is as soon as I touched a rack of clothes, or flipped through them and moved on to the next rack, the associate was literally right behind me fixing the hangers and perfectly spacing them again. It made me feel like I was a bull in a China shop...like I shouldn't be touching anything. I only docked 1 star for this because I chalked it up to boredom. I also think this will be a hit or miss kinda store. I'll either find a bunch of stuff I love or I'll hate everything there. I'm kinda old school and a lot of stuff that's "hot" right now isn't my cup 'o tea but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for others. Check 'em out ladies!
