| - Post weekday brunch at Toast (the perfect time to shop) I stopped in. I was impressed by the organization, the variety of sizes and colors, the accessories (Marc Jacobs stam bag for $500?), but once I got down to actually wanted to find something in my size, I was a little disappointed.
I then switched over to helping my sister find a new dress, but even in her smaller size, she didn't have much to pick from once you eliminated the casual sun dresses and the work attire. Everything that we thought we liked fell into the 0 - 4 range, which my sister sometimes falls into - but just not with all the boutique brands. Six dresses later, no dice, and no help from any associates.
They had some cute jewelry, but for the most part nothing spoke to me. The two girls behind the counter (who seemed to be glued there) didn't say much to us, or any of the other customers either (until they decided to purchase something). However I heard plenty from the two on their thoughts on the parking situation (it's never been great here, oh well), as well as rants and raves of fellow center businesses, and most of them were rants. I was a little put off that they thought it was appropriate to talk trash about and potentially turn business away from the strip with a conversation they definitely could have had while no customers were in the store. I feel like in a center like this, where there's no real competition between two stores selling the same products/services, they'd all be open to supporting each other - but I guess not.
I won't say I'll never stop in again, because they do have some good brands, I just hope next time I catch the girls working there on a better day.
