| - New location opened in the South Outlets a few weeks ago. It IS NOT an outlet store.
First, Maurices is not my type of store. The designs are for a much younger crowd...junior high comes to mind. Second, I wasn't impressed with the quality of the items. Third, if a sale is going on everything is reasonable. Just know you'll have to replace everything sooner rather than later. Fourth, the sizing is WAYYY off, from tags to actual fit.
I'm not a fan of outlet stores, Ross, TJ Max or Nordstrom Rack. I hate cluttered stores, I hate not having room to walk about, I hate that everything is picked through. This store was cluttered (they have A LOT to choose from), was picked through (tshirts tossed about not folded; items on hangers backwards, not fully hung, messy), and there was little room to walk about. I felt like I was in one of those shops & not a regular store.
So why was I here? I was looking for inexpensive t-shirts & tops to get me through summer & didn't want to spend a fortune on disposable clothing. I bought 8 items & my bill was $148: 2 drape neck tops, 2 kimonos, a cardigan, 3 necklaces. I really like everything I purchased.
It's a large store. Everyone was very nice & helpful. I shop primarily at Talbots, Ann Taylor & Loft (for disposable items) and the service is never at these shops, but it was at Maurices. If their styles & quality were what I was looking for I'd probably come here a lot. We'll see how the items hold up before I decide if I'll return or not.
5 stars for the service. 2 star deductions made for clutter & not having room to move around.
