Cute little boutique-style shop with high prices at the nearly abandoned and wild Lakeside Mall - which is as you probably imagined is close to the lake up in the north suburbs of Detroit. Actually has some cute things so if it's still open next time I come to the mall with Barbie, I'm going to bring her here and see if she likes anything in here. Somebody's got to keep this place open. May as well be us. Maybe you can come here and do the same.

Love this store!! So…read moreI am constantly in here buying everything from jeans to jewelry, and these ladies are super helpful, polite, and knowledgeable!! If you go in here, ask for 'Chandler', or 'Arielle'. These girls are like personal shoppers!! No pressure sales, but will help you make an outfit!! I can't say enough good thing about this location, or the awesome quality of the items sold here!! You have to just go in and check it out for yourself!!

From September through current I've been on the losing side of the battle with flub, so I decided instead of walking in front of a bus to end it all I'd instead check out this location for my fat man threads. Let me begin by saying I came in around 4:30 p.m., and the two ladies working at the time couldn't have been nicer. They offered help, but didn't swarm me they way I swarm a platter of meat and cheese. Having some space was appreciated. It was also the reason I visited. I wanted to give my stomach and thighs some much needed space, so I started looking at slacks and jeans. They have a great selection here (peep my photos). Brand names, but in fat man sizes. NICE! Ultimately, on this particular visit I was looking for something very specific, and between the two ladies and I we couldn't find anything that fit the part; however, if my inner fat man refuses to die I will be back soon, and PRAY YE THAT THY FLOOR IS AS MIGHTY AS YOUR WAISTBANDS PURPORT TO BE...FOR I WILL RETURN!

The place is not cheap but they run a lot of $20 promotional sales and it all helps. The two times I was in their Sterling Heights store, I dropped $300 without any problems buying a pair of Levi jeans, a couple of dress Polo and Columbia jackets, some tee's, a belt and others things. The store is nicely decorated, adequately stocked with a number of spacious dressing rooms and a number of friendly and helpful young lady salespeople. Check it out, it is on the southside of M59, a little bit before Schoenherr Rd and ole Montgomery Ward complex. I think you will like it.

What was supposed to be a quick stop for my daughter turned into an unexpected family shopping…read moreadventure. My daughter wanted to browse for something cute for herself, so we stopped into Plato's Closet about 30 minutes before closing. I was a little worried we'd be rushing, but the atmosphere was still fun and relaxed despite shoppers trying to squeeze in a few last-minute treasures before the store closed. The best part was watching the shopping bug spread through the family. My daughter started browsing, then the other kids decided they wanted something too. Suddenly everyone was searching racks, comparing deals, and showing each other what they found. Lol. I wasn't even planning to shop, but I ended up finding a pair of Calvin Klein work slacks for The Mr. for $18; I couldn't pass on a deal like that. That's one of the things I love about stores like Plato's Closet--you never know what you're going to find, and sometimes the best deal is the one you weren't looking for. Years ago, when my oldest son was a baby, he grew so quickly that I regularly sold his outgrown clothes to Plato's Closet. Walking through the store now and watching that same child use his own money to buy clothes for himself was really special. The staff deserve a shoutout as well. Even though it was close to closing time and they were clearly working on end-of-night tasks, everyone we spoke with was friendly, patient, and welcoming. The cashier was especially kind while helping the kids check out their purchases, which I appreciated. We came in looking for one item and left with several happy shoppers. That's usually a sign of a successful trip. We'll definitely be back for another treasure hunt soon.

Don't take your clothes here! They always want to rip you off. I show up with multiple bags inside…read morethe store, they accept maybe one to five of those items. They're picky, selective, even on designer or name brand. Which makes no sense because the clothes are in great condition with no stains or anything. Wish they would tell you exactly what they're looking for before goy lug clothes of lbs on your back like Santa only for them to reject like 98% of it. Plus, with what they take from you, they give you less than a $1. Take a target swimsuit top from last year with nothing wrong with it. The lady said she'll give 80 cents for it. I bought it for $27, tag on it. What's wrong with the pricing system? Seems awfully NOT fair. This hasn't been a one time occurrence, they often scam and make me lug in bags and bags full only to be sent with them back in my bags and back into my car.

I've been having a Torrid time trying to post this review of Torrid, but here it finally is. Hope…read moreit's worth it. Barbie likes these stores and she likes this location a lot. Everybody was too busy to help her but they had a couple of things she wanted and she ended up buying one of them but not the other because the size was a little weird. Prices are around mid-price but sometimes you can find some good deals especially because I get the feeling that this mall might be closing down soon so they have cheaper prices than a lot of Torrid locations have on a lot of similar products around the country. I can't stand the attitudes of many at this Mall, but this particular shop had employees that were nice enough, and that's not bad at all.

Located on the 2nd floor of the mall, this Torrid reminds me of the one in Great Lakes Crossing. It…read morehas a very similar floor plan & a variety of modern, plus sized fashions. Not your regular frumpy, polka dot covered moo-moos. The staff is approachable & helpful (If you are fashion challenged as I am sometimes, you know how important it is to have helpful staff). You can find dresses, shoes up to size 12 (they are really cute & fashionable even in big sizes. YES!!!!). They have dressing rooms available & lingerie too. It is nice that there is a store that caters to plus size younger women. Although there are only 2 in MI: this one & Great Lakes, it is usually worth the drive. I suggest checking out the website first & calling ahead to see if they have what you are looking for specifically if you don't live in the area (I had to drive 45 mins. to get there & was disappointed when they didn't have the shoe I was looking for, even though she said they would hold it when I called. That was the 1 bummer in this experience) Best place to go for fishnet tights, cute tops, & dresses to party in. Note: Torrid is not a cheap store. Jeans run you from $38-$98 (But you can find amazingly comfortable skinny jeans by Source of Wisdom there). Sign up for the Diva Style reward card & save 5% off each purchase after spending $250 (which will be easy with there prices). Sign up on there website for the newsletter & get emails of super discounts (50% off all boots for 6 hours only, etc.) *A must for any young woman (black, white, hispanic, etc.) looking to look fly even if you are curvy & don't wear a size 2!
