This is a charity store & the proceeds actually help people if you take the time to read their mission. It isn't Family Thrift or Goodwill. It's sparkling clean & you aren't going to start sneezing from all of the dust. You also aren't going to have to sort through tons of outdated polyester items.Items in the women's section are generally sorted by color & definitely size. There is a designer & a regular section. I wish that I had taken photos of past buys. There is currently a Neiman Marcus fitted men's linen shirt for $15. I love it & wish my S.O. would wear fashionable shirts like that.I'm a birder. I have scored several new with tags outdoor shirts for $10. or under. One was listed at $70. when I used Google Lens. I think that I got a NWT Colombia SPF water type shirt for $10. The original tag said $50. If you want to save money, look cute & HELP a great cause, this place is it. If you are on a very limited budget & cannot afford $6. for a t-shirt, this might not be the place for you. I just got a super cool men's Astros t-shirt for my Astros fan mom for $6. It was listed at $34.99 on the MLB website. I'm not sure what the negative comments are about. If you are really on a budget & don't mind having to sort through lots of stuff, visit the Blalock location. They have much lower prices & tons of stuff including furniture. Just note that a lot of it seems to be from people cleaning out their parent's homes. There is good stuff, but you have to look. They do have a designer section for women in the back of the store. Prices are higher in that area, but everything is the type of stuff that you will find at the Heights location. I assume that the Heights location is simply keeping the items donated from people living in the 1-2 million homes that have destroyed the Heights. I did score a bright yellow new J.Crew sundress my last visit that for some reason wasn't in the designer section & a yellow Loft sleeveless shift. I don't remember what I paid, but probably $12-$15. which was high for the Blalock location. Perhaps they were simply hung in the wrong area by a new employee. On one visit I scored a pair of like new OluKai Hawaiian sandals for $3. The cashier immediately knew that they shouldn't have been $3., but she gave them to me at that price. When I looked them up they were $90 or higher.

Heights MAM - While the staff is wonderfully nice and the boutique itself is charming, this Heights…read morelocation is significantly smaller than other MAM stores--you won't need more than 15 minutes to see everything. The book selection and men's items are on the pricier side; don't expect fine art, and placing the expanded men's section right in the center back row makes navigation feel awkward. Higher-end items used to be reserved for the Heights, but my guess is designer pieces will now stay at the expanded (and super overpriced) new Blalock women's boutique. Blalock MAM: I donate there often, but it seems to be a victim of its own success. It's no longer a place for bargains, and the older section desperately needs to close for a few days to purge inventory that's sat unsold for months and give the store a deep clean--an opened cracker package I spotted in July was still sitting there weeks later. Moving forward, I'll only return for major sales; otherwise, MAM is officially on my "donate-only" list.

Specifically making sure that children who are removed from their homes have everything they need for the first 48 hours after placement, and then providing ongoing support to foster families in other ways. One of their big drives is during Christmas and making sure that every foster child has presents waiting for them under the tree, and if you stop and think what Christmas presents for 16,000 children look like you might realize why they need hundreds of volunteers for 3 weeks of the year! I've only volunteered during the last few Christmas seasons but if you want to give back to an organization that really strives to put the needs of some of the most vulnerable children in our city first, BEAR is an easy choice. They have online and in-person options for support, and they need volunteers and donors to keep them afloat every year- they are not funded by taxes. The people running the place are friendly, helpful, and you can tell they really care about kids. Definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for a way to give back to your community!

This place has both, and despite its impressive array of goods from clothes to furniture, it's well organized and easy to navigate. I'm normally a neutral-color dresser but some of the clothes encourage me to step out of my comfort zone into some louder designs. Additionally, the walls are all lined with non-clothing items for sale -- books, movies, glassware, water bottles, and more. I don't think I've ever come a cross a thrift store with this much versatility. Out of the Closet is serious about HIV/AIDS advocacy and they prove it by putting their money where their mouth is. Like many other thrift stores in Montrose, you can expect marked up (but still fair) prices compared to the larger ones with piles upon piles of clothes to sift through. 96% of all proceeds at this store, however, go toward supporting the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Free condoms are offered near the cashier counter; free HIV testing and a not-for-profit pharmacy sits in the back. The roots of thrifting inherently lie in supporting the community. This is usually accomplished through the affordability of everyday items, but this shop takes it to the next level by showing their dedication to safe sex and access to healthcare. Give this place a visit the next time you cruise through Westheimer -- they deserve your time more than you know.

She used natural wood and local fabrics to give her art an airy, breezy and natural twist. When I walked up to her house, it was windy and you could see the wind blow through her various fabrics, all so colorful, as if I was in a field of flowers. The soft gentle swoosh as each piece of fabric blew with the wind. The smell of cedar, oak from the wood! The houses on this row each told a different story, one about natural 4C hair, the journey to make it manageable while still searching to find the beauty within it, growing up in a shotgun house on Monterey, family pictures, watching old family videos and listening to the record player, the clay from all around Houston, the inability of seeds, fruit trees and Lucious tropical plants to be able to grow within it due to its lack of moisture retention and minerals and being thrown into a fairy tail, one with diverse characters of color as the main characters! This project was incredible with unspeakable artistry by some amazing artists! The winner received a monetary donation of $25,000. Best of luck to them all and thank you for the incredible installation!!
