Update 8/17: The owner of the store reached out with her personal cell phone number. We talked at…read morelength about the incident today and she was sincerely apologetic. I declined any special treatment, as that is not what I'm looking for or intended to receive with my review. I increased the 1 star to a 5 star based on the quick response and the concern about my experience. After speaking with her, I will give this place another chance. Original review: I've never felt so unwelcomed while shopping for clothes. I walked in WANTING to spend a few hundred dollars because I needed a cute last minute outfit for a bbq. One girl said, "hello" and literally she was the only one. A lady employee crouched on the ground to find something for another customer next to me, blocking me from moving forward and didn't say anything. Nothing. No apology, no offer to help, nothing. It was an awkward silence while I waited for her to finish. The girl who said hello, asked to start a dressing room for me, but never came back to me to tell me where the room was. I figured it out by the dress hanging on the door. I needed another size in a dress I was interested in, but no offered to help. Not while i was in the room, and not even when I got out of the room. I figured I would just get it myself. They had maybe two other customers in the store at this time. As I was walking towards the rack to look for the correct size, I saw an employee about 2 feet from the rack I was walking towards. She looked at me with no smile and walked away. Didn't say anything at all. While shopping around, they offered another customer drinks, but didn't even acknowledge me. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but that was absurd. I spent about 20 minutes in that store and walked all the way around and had items in my hands to buy, but I left them. I don't like saying that people are discriminative, but I am hoping that my race didn't have anything to do with this situation. This was my first and last time in that store. It's unfortunate because we live right down the street. Also, unfortunate for them because I'm about to meet 40 army wives or service women who all just moved to the area at bbq.

I enjoyed browsing and bought a pair of cute earrings for myself. I also appreciate them being open on a Sunday as many of the local businesses in the area are not. If you're looking for a birthday gift or other special gift, no need to travel to the mall or to Charleston- check out Simple to Sublime. I'll definitely return closer to the holidays to do more shopping.

The blue is my favorite shade but am kicking myself that I just didn't buy them both and figure out how to wear two coats home. I tried to reach out to the store via their contact email but no response. There were three staff working the day we were there, not overly welcoming. The selection was pretty good. Nicely organized.

I was thrilled to get a chance to check out a Nordstrom Rack. I've never been, but I had heard…read moregreat things. The store reminded me of an upscale TJ Max/Marshalls. The prices were on the higher end and well above what I typically pay for retail items. But overall, it was an enjoyable shopping experience. All the store displays were neat and visually appealing. The products they sold were trendy and high quality--tons of designer brands. The employees were friendly and helped when needed. The only complaint was the price point, but other than that, and it was a nice store to shop at.
