I actually love this place because just because I am of a certain age I don't feel I should have to dress that way. Still giving me nice styles nice pattern and it's affordable so if I need to wear it one season trash it get something new next season it could happen.
Found this place when I ran out of luck at a couple other stores. I was looking for clothes for a funeral for my husband. The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable. The prices are great and and really nice quality. Current styles and trends and a very large selection of styles and sizes.
