This store gives me mixed feelings. On one hand, their idea of a less degrading size scale is nice and has potential. But, as someone who doesn’t shop their often, it is frustrating to not know what color you are. I also feel like every time I go there, they only have two or three sizes stocked.
The inventory can range from very cute and «in» for the season or just plain WTF. My last visit had me wanting to spend all my money, but there have been times when I didn’t like a single thing.
The displays are very artfully set up, and it’s fun to hunt for jewelry in all the drawers in the displays. However, I think most of the clothes are way over priced (I.e. $ 50 for a chiffon top that costs $ 20 at Target) They have brands and designers I’ve never heard of, so between paying for unknown brand names and the boutique atmosphere, I’m not sure it’s completely worth the price.
Their jewelry is very cute and is not overpriced, and their sales/​clearance are pretty good, but again with that you run the risk of hit-​or-​miss styles.
The employees are kind of sketchy: they greet you, ask if you’ve been in the shop before, and if the answer is yes, you are left alone. I had to wait 5 minutes at the counter on my last visit because they were in the back talking.
My final complaint is the weird hours they are open. If it’s because of how little traffic they get, it might be a sign that they need to change a few things.
Overall I keep coming back to see if anything has changed and I might pick up one or two things.

Be yourself is one of the best boutiques I have been to. I am not a size 0 and here it doesn’t matter. All their clothing sizes are based off colors so you don’t have to stare at the dreadful number you hate. Every Thursday they get new clothes and they also offer a student discount on those days too! How convenient! My closet now is filled with clothes from be yourself and it’s my go to place for a cute new outfit. The workers there are so kind and friendly and make your experience top notch. Seriously my favorite store

How is this even still open?! I’ve never heard people even talk about it. When I went it was so dark like darker than ambercrombie. I thought it might be a unique place to get a dress for my school dance. She showed me basically a rag on a hanger… I wondered if they know what updated fashion is. Oh and their sizing system is a bunch of baloney. save your breath and stick to what everyone knows. Yes skinny people get to wear small and fat people have to buy large who really cares? Also I feel like the place just gave off weird vibes maybe that’s just me…
Overall this place has NOOOOO right to call itself a boutique… Sorry not sorry
Won’t be going back to that unfashionable dugeon. It gave off a vibe that made me think maybe there were rats running around in back
Lol

Good: Super cute clothes and friendly employees. Reasonably priced — similar to Francescas, etc. Also centrally located.
Not so good: I hate their sizing setup… I forget what «color» I am and have to ask every time I go in. While their intentions are good, it’s just way easier and more convenient to put the actual sizes on the clothes instead of the colors. Also their return policy kinda sucks — can only return for store credit and can’t return something you bought at the Lincoln location to the Omaha location and vice versa.

I dig it! Cute little unique boutique. Nice get-​away from the rigamarole of what the Westroads and Oakview malls have to offer. Modest, trendy and classy.

I was in town from NYC for work & stopped in to this store a couple times to look around and although the clothes are cute, they are over priced and the staff is not friendly AT ALL.
The first time I stopped in, I was loudly greeted (which woke my 5mo old son, not that she noticed) & she quickly escaped to the back to continue her loud conversation with a coworker about her son. I interrupted to ask about a shirt & to try something on. The help was so minimal, I felt like I was intruding. Not once did anyone explain the whole color sizing thing even though I swear they saw me searching through each rack looking confused as to why many items had no size… it wasn’t until I looked them up on Unilocal later that I realized their color/​sizing system.
The 2^nd time I stopped in I was debating on a pair of pants I tried on the first time… I was on the fence about them but what caused me to decide not to buy them was, again, the complete lack of helpfulness & the snobby attitudes of the sales associates — different sales people both times, yet all were consistently unfriendly.
I’ve been in stores with the EXACT same quality in NYC Chinatown where the prices would be half what they are here. Beyourself is not a fancy boutique… it’s forever 21 quality clothes and fake leather boots… get off your high horse… this is not New York’s 5^th Avenue.
Lastly, I can’t support a store where the employees don’t even smile at babies let alone potential hot Mom clothes purchasers. I bet they hate puppies too.
Beyourself needs to spend less time writing empowering things on their dressing room walls and more time treating customers with respect.
P. S. Smile at babies & puppies.

I went in this store excited because i was going to buy a dress that i saw somebody else wearing and they said they got it there. My first experience was the first and last time i will ever go there and did not purchase anything the owner was very rude! They try to make this a child friendly store by puttting a couple of cheap old toys in there. Whats the point of this if you really dont want children in your store! The owner was very rude and yelled at my child because he grab the toys and then played with them by the window. Quote she said get away from the window and sit down. When i confronted her she was very rude to me laughing at me. When i ask to speak to the owner she said with a smirk iam. Then when i told her i will never come back after u spoke to my child like that she said well what normal child does that… ummmm lost of words first of all there is no such thing as normal child because a child is all unique in everyway and since when did a child become abnormal because they took the toys u provided and played them in a different place. Ive been to plenty of boutiques and have never been treated so poorly. Horrible customer service will never work no matter what great things u may have in ur store which by the way was very over priced. This store wont last long with the owner /​manager beening very rude as they are!

Happened to stop here after gettin some grub. My coworker told me to check it out after my meal and I said «no,» bc I already have a shopping problem. Shopping in Omaha suckS and I seriously have to go out of town to shop. Anyway, I walked by and couldn’t resist! Not a fan of the color sizing system but it didn’t stop me. Bought a bunch of cute items, quality isn’t up there and prices are reasonable. I got a few really good sale items though and some awesome spring items I was having troubles finding elsewhere.

While they have unique items at times including shoes and jewelry, they are not what they pretend to be. The concept is to allow woman a comfortable shopping experience without worrying about size, so they’ve come up with a color-​coded sizing chart to replace the number system.
The problem is instead of allowing you to come in and shop at leisure without worry about your size, they’ve called attention to it. Oh, and here’s the kicker… you have to tell them your size so they can tell you to what color dot it corresponds. Most women know what size they are and it doesn’t change just because you turn the number size into a color dot. But this is not the most ironic thing about their concept — like many boutiques, they hang the larger size clothing by folding back part of it so that it appears smaller.
Perhaps Beyourself should actually allow women to be themselves without feeling like it’s an embarrassment to be whatever size they are.
They are a boutique, so they can be a bit pricey. If you are looking for a unique purchase, you may find it there, but a unique experience you will not.

For a while, this was my go-​to store. The employees used to know my name. I walked in, tried on three of four things, and usually left with them all. Everyone who works there is sweet and the clothes are pretty reasonably priced.
Lately though, this store is a hit and miss. Sometimes they’ll have amazing things, and sometimes I’ll wonder where they got all this crap. I have friends that agree about the up and down selection.
I know some people rave about the colors-​instead-​of-​number sizes but to me, it was often just annoying. I mean, I know what number size I am. These color sizes aren’t fooling me. So just tell me what size this dress is and then I’ll know without trying it on if it fits. However, I shopped here so often I just started knowing what color I was. I did fluctuate between two colors though, so that was nice having that more size options.
Also, several times a year they have a sale where if you spend $ 100, you get a coupon to come back during certain dates, spend $ 100 and get $ 50 off… not sure if they still do this deal, but if so, take advantage!

Feeling junk about eating that last cupcake but still wanna go shopping?
Go to be yourself, where number sizes are out the window!!!
This shop makes boutique shopping even better!
As soon as you walk in the door the sales associate asks you if you’ve ever visited before. This is important because the way they have their sizes is crucial to shopping here. Instead of numbers and words, they use color dots. They have these nifty little cards up front with the colors from purple to black (i’m not sure what the highest color is).
We women know that clothes ALWAYS fit differently but we tend to punish ourselves if we fit a shirt that’s a size small but don’t fit a different shirt in a size small. The color charts give you an idea of what colors correspond to number sizes.
The selection of apparel, accessories, and shoes is pretty substantial. They have a great sale section and their prices are reasonable. You could find a whole outfit at this boutique shop! I also love how they have your basics here: bandeu tops, camis, leggings, v-​necks, crew necks, and long sleeves at affordable prices and in a variety of colors.
The fitting rooms even have phrases that give you a little pep in your step. Because being beautiful & confident in yourself comes from within, when you believe it you seriously do, achieve it!

I love this little boutique. There’s so many things to choose from and you don’t have to worry about someone wearing the same thing as you. They only buy a few sizes in their clothes. The price isn’t too bad for a boutique store! It’s also a great place for accessories too!

I ventured in thsi store after I had my eyes dilated by Dr Malashock (see review for Malbar) and the staff was very helpful especially since I couldnt see! Omaha shopping is LACKING– They need more stores like this!!! Its a gem — trendy/​unique without over the top glitz and rhinestones (Like soem other Omaha stores that make me feel like I have walked into the shooting for a Bejeweller infomercial) Anyway– the day I went they were lacking in clothes in my size-​so that kinda stunk-​otherwise I would have spent a bit more moeny, I joined hteir email list so hopefully I can the heads up when new clothes come in and snag some in my size…

Great little boutique! They always have really interesting clothes, jewelry and shoes. They also have handbags and clutches, as well as other accessories.
The thing that makes Be Yourself unique is that they do a color-​coded sizing method for their clothes. The idea here is to separate yourself from a number and just look for clothes that match your specific ‘color.‘
They have tons of awesome stuff, and the staff is always very friendly. A little pricey (it is a boutique) but the jewelry is always very reasonable. Great place to check out for that funky or sophisticated piece for your wardrobe!
