I don't wear pants, and when I do, my colleagues are shocked that I actually have legs :p But I bought two pairs of these!! I'm keeping an eye out for more like this in the future. But part of the joy of this shop is that there are so many unique patterns and fits, and such high quality, too. I love it.

There are so many shops to poke around in and MM's is where I found myself on this trip spending some of my money! It's basically impossible to walk by without going inside... there are so many interesting things in the window display. This time a tshirt caught my eye and I was able to walk a few more steps before realizing I'd become fixated on the shirt would need to buy them as gifts. So I turned around and in I went! The store is nice and warm! The woman helped me find the shirts in the sizes I wanted and while they were more expensive than I am used to paying ( $35 for a kids t shirt) j couldn't help but love the print. Plus Nevada city isn't cheap, so you know what you're getting into... it also feels nice to shop at a local business... given I do all my shopping online. I recommend you take a look inside and see if you find your own little treasure!!!

The person working there didn't seem very happy which always leads me to wonder how they are treated. I decided to buy a velvet pair of bell bottom pants. I opted to not try them on as the fitting rooms/lighting were not flattering or comfortable. Upon purchase, I was informed they were on sale, fabulous! My friend and myself chatted up the sales person and she brightened up a bit. I arrived home, excited to try on my new purchase. Sadly, they were really poor quality and itched something fierce! I made my way back into the store a week later to learn that not only could I not return them but all sale items are final sale and I could not receive a store credit either. I was dumbfounded. I explained I didn't understand this to which the same grumpy sales person pointed to a sign located at the height of my knees that all sale item were final sale. She said she'd texted her boss and there wasn't anything they could do for me. Truly, poor business and poor quality.

We wandered into this store and there are some cute things but way over priced, even as compared to Los Angeles. Nonetheless we bought a few cards and lesser priced things, only to be treated so rudely at check out. The owner (or cashier, we don't know), didn't even look us in the eye as she rang up our orders. She never said hello, goodbye, or thank you. It was so dismissive. We rang up our orders at different times, but by the time we met back on the street to find our car, we were like; "was that woman a bitch or what!!!" We both had the same experience. So much for that shop, there are others..........YUCK, forget it.
