Dillard’s

What a mess. This place is not clean. It never is.
I stopped here the other day. I always give Dillard’s a chance.
Look at the picture I posted of this place.
Looks as if a bomb went off.
I would like to think that maybe this is just one time this place looked like this but it always does. I have no idea why. The place never seems busy, they are high priced (try TJ Maxx for the same stuff but cheaper), and they have the worst layout of any department store I ever shopped in.
They have a Dior Counter here. Nice if you like their makeup. They had the only nice selection of Coach purses for the longest time until Coach opened up a store in the Mall. Then again does anyone really like to carry a Coach bag now that all the common folk do? The rednecks wife down the street has one why would I want one?
They have a children’s section, mens, ladies, juniors, as well as a home department. They have a sale once a year during New Year’s day that brings in the masses. Fifty percent off of already marked down items. Too bad Macy’s, Penney’s and Kohl’s does this weekly.

I’m a big time post-​Christmas sales shopper. Love it. Live for it every year. I actually find Dillard’s, of all places, to be one of the best spots to buy on-​sale (50% or more off original price) gorgeous ornaments once December 26^th hits.
Mom and I made our annual trek to this Dillard’s location in Southern Park Mall the day after Christmas and didn’t leave empty handed. She scored some reduced price chinaware; I picked up a couple unique ornaments – one round one with beaded cheetah print, the other one gold hand-​blown glass in an interesting shape – for under $ 8.
In addition to ornaments and home décor items, Dillard’s also consistently seems to have a decent selection of Lenox holiday merchandise (also at least 50% off). In my opinion, the only better place in the area to score some significantly marked down Lenox? The TJ Maxx down the street, honestly.
The store could be cleaner, more organized. The cashiers and register lines could be more efficient. But, really, those are the sort of undesirable things you’ve got to be prepared to deal with during major sales mostly anywhere.
I really look forward to coming here every December 26^th.
