In Bloom

My daughters L*O*V*E* this place! We cannot be in the neighborhood without them asking to go in and take a peek. It’s not for those who are only looking for a stellar deal on clothes (we have a few stores in the area who cater to that) but it is for those who want to look good without breaking the bank! Price point is between $ 25-​$ 60. Not outrageous by any stretch! (like suggested by the review below) but more than you will pay for cheaply made stuff. Sure I love a good deal too – but I’d rather buy something that is going to last, that my girls will love to wear, and is not going to wear out after 1 or 2 washings. These are well made, stylish and unique clothes! I don’t know much about brand names, but I know she carries many different lines including Gwen Stefani’s line. I have been there several times and I have to say – the items I have bought there look adorable on my girls! BTW, the owner is wonderful! She has 3 daughters of her own – and knows how frustrating it is to find clothes that are not too cutesy or too risqué. She also carries a bunch of cute accessories too. Things are always changing in this store – so best to buy it when you see it. It probably won’t be there when you come back!

Updating because 2 people have written me accusing me of being something of a hater, which wasn’t my intention. In Bloom, while a nice store, just isn’t for me, folks, it’s nothing personal. I think it’s a shame that Unilocal is filtering the more positive reviews… hm, maybe we should all Unilocal Unilocal and give them a piece of our minds about this weird biased algorhythm. In Bloom isn’t the only business suffering because of Unilocal’s algorhythm problem.
In Bloom probably offers merchandise that appeals to other people with better taste than mine, but it just doesn’t move me. There, is that enough of a disclaimer? Please check this out for yourself. Anyone looking at MY wardrobe would hope I’d stick to comparing and contrasting Salvation Army with Goodwill. But that’s another review.

Original review, which I stand by:
«Cute store. Nice bottle caps and other jewelry. Went there with two fairly fashion-​savvy tweens today. Nothing they HAD TO HAVE.
Serrrrriously overpriced, from my POV. They had a set of 3 pairs underpants for $ 20+??? For tween girls? what the hey? Long sleeve waffle fabric tees… $ 29? Hideous* pink horizontal stripe swing dress that might be a swimsuit coverup from Walmart. bleh.
On the other hand, I have to drag DD out of Sway and Lauren’s Closet.
Check it out, your tween may like it better than mine did.»

sorry if you think it’s unfair. I was just trying to be truthful. Ok, «hideous» is a little harsh, but I hated that thing and spent ½ hour staring at it while the girls tried on clothes. It was also ahead of its time, because now I’m seeing equally … uh… striped versions of it in other shops. sigh.
