This place is amazing. I love it here! The girls here make you feel so welcome. They have quite a…read morevariety of beautiful dresses and outfits to choose from and the same goes for their jewelry! The owner of this shop's name is Annabel and she is such a beautiful, lovely person who will make you feel right at home. Even after I left, I had to come back soon after! This is by far my favorite boutique in the area! Not to mention, I'm a curvy woman who typically wears a 12 or a large. So, the fact that Annabel was able to find many different dresses that fit my curves very nicely was a nice bonus! When it comes to pricing, it can be pretty expensive. However, she even pointed me in the direction of another dress that was 50% off and it was this gorgeous shade of purple that went beautifully with my skin tone. Now, to me, it was between two dresses that I really liked. I left to keep my options open, but like I said previously, I came back. This time, I came back to find some gorgeous earrings that went with my new outfit. The girls even told me I was welcome to try on my new dress I had just purchased from another store to see what it looked like with the earrings! Although I didn't do that, it was still a very nice gesture to be recognized. I found the perfect pair of earrings and made my way out of the store before I found myself spending more money. I can only hope that they possibly expand and get bigger one day!

The woman was stuck up and rude and the dresses were extremely overpriced.

A cute boutique located in a strip mall (the only shopping are really in Five Points). They have a…read morevery eclectic mix of clothes, jewelry, and odds/ends. Some are thrift-like, some are vintage, some are new. As seems often the case, nearly everything was geared towards women though. My colleague purchase a cute pair of earrings for $16. The elderly gentleman that was running the store was super friendly. Parking is a challenge - there's a double row of metered spots splitting the U-shaped strip mall but every spot was taken (we had walked from our conference/hotel). Turnover seemed decent but there are always several cars circling. FYI we saw a meter maid giving tickets too.

The Five Points neighborhood is dotted with a ton of local boutiques and a few vintage shops too…read more Of all of them (and yes, I visited ALL of them in one day), this was the friendliest. I actually found myself wandering in after noticing their huge selection of vintage Dooney & Burke bags from the 1980s, including the same exact style that I had strapped to my body that day. The shopkeepers had eyes like hawks, coming over and asking me all about my bag, which was a gift from my sister and is in super amazing condition. And then this older gent that was shopping chimed in and was like, "What's the deal with these bags? My daughter asked for one for Christmas and I have no idea what I'm doing. Tell me everything." So we did. I browsed a little bit. The merchandise is generally high quality vintage (plenty of recognizable brand names) so the prices vary from medium to high. Most of my time there was spent chatting with what I assume is the owner about all sorts of things though: Dooney & Burkes, other awesome vintage bags, Minneapolis, the 70+ degree weather.

The jewelry selection included a ton of colorful statement necklaces ($30-40), which were highlights for me, along with a couple of sparkly dresses and sheer tops. The price points were varied enough that it was easy to find something affordable or something a little bit splurge-worthy. It's not as upscale as Bohemian down the street, so as cute as it is, unfortunately the quality of the clothing is hit or miss. That was really the only downside and it's something that plagues mid-priced boutiques all over the world. Make sure to hit up the Wish outlet that's pretty much right next door too. They have deep discounts and some of the jewelry was just as cute (necklaces only $8 there!).

They had great ties (both traditional and bow), socks and hats, and other miscellaneous items like wallets. I can't speak highly enough about the staff as well, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and an overall joy to work with. All-in-all, it was an excellent experience, and I can't recommend the Gentlemen's Closet highly enough!
