Quick visit
I went and visited this store yesterday 30 minutes before they closed at 4 pm. I walked in and was acknowledged by an older lady who wasn’t the owner but was okay nice and welcomed me into the store and told me to ask if I had questions. The store is small but is beautifully displayed with a darling well designed pink girly bathroom. Unfortunately though, the clothes were not very good quality and the material of the pieces of clothing were very thin. It’s what you would expect at a thrift store but the store did have a few cute pieces. I’d say the dress, prom selection has the better quality pieces of clothing so I’d suggest to stick to mainly dress shopping when you come. They did have a small selection of basic clothing such as workout clothes, jeans and casual less showy clothes. The shoes were decorated nice but once again weren’t in the best of shape and quality even thought they came in cute bright colors and prints. They had a decent selection of jewelry but some of the bracelets were worn down and had some rhinestones missing and again weren’t the best quality. The cheap price points of the clothing Nd items in the store matched the poor quality of the items as well. I understand that the store is an affordable shopping boutique who uses its money in a positive way to empower women who just got out of jail so I understand the quality and prices must stay low to accommodate everyone. Now onto the service, as I was walking around I know they were closing soon so I quickly just browsed fast so I could see everything that was in the store that day. I noticed a different older blonde employee working at the front when I got closer. She wasn’t the same lady who had greeted me when I first walked in. It was pretty silent and she didn’t try and start a conversation with me as I was awkwardly coming closer to where she was near the cash register. As I was looking at a few bags and shoes I noticed her looking over her shoulder at me. I guess she thought maybe I was going to steal something. It made me feel uncomfortable like I felt I was being watched. I let it go and then saw these purple boots that had the prices tag on the bottoms but no size. I asked the old blonde woman working there and she said that the size is on the bottom of the shoe. I told her I checked and it wasn’t there. She came over to look, I felt she didn’t believe me until she looked herself and saw no size tag. She then guessed that they were a 7. I’m a size 6, but the older white blonde lady told me I could try them on so I sat on the couch and tried them on. I let my guard down since she seemed to be a bit friendlier and talkative now after I asked her a question. She showed me their cute bathroom and let me walk around with the boots in the store. I decided to not buy them and she was still cool about it and said she would put the purple boots back. As I was trying on another pair of heels, I was walking back to where my shoes are and we crossed paths as we were walking back to the back of the Store and she commented about my height and how small I was. For some people it might bother them, and for others it might not. For me it did, since I didn’t know this woman and the time and way she said it felt really belittling and demeaning. I’m 25, not 12 which is the way she described my height as “cute”..umm thanks? Lol I didn’t really know what to say and felt it was more of an insult and slight being compared to her 12 year old nieces who were my height and taller... I really felt she was just making it worse trying to explain herself as to why she didn’t mean to be rude. I did ask her if she mean to be rude by making a comment about my height appearance but of course she said that wasn’t her intention and that her nieces are my height. The old blonde lady told me I was still a baby and young which was still a bit insulting. I forgot to mention folks that this old blonde lady who later I found out was the manager named Lynn, dressed like she was teenager with short daisy duke Jean shorts, high heels and a tank top.
This is a great place! If you find your self lonely, feeling like you don't belong, isolated and that you have to perform a certain way to fit in you need to try this place. They are extremely friendly, accepting and loving. No performance needed you can come as you are. They have renewed my faith, showed me the love of Jesus and have made me feel like one of the family. Corrine is an excellent teacher, open real and honest. Love reigns in all they do.
