“I went into the Clinton, Clintonlast night, which was Thursday, May 2, 2025. My son, Matt is a sales person there and he loves to work there and he loves all the people he works with. I did some serious damage in the store and got a pair of white linen shorts, two T-shirts, one turquoise and one white, one turquoise, long sleeve summer sweater, which I absolutely love, it is so comfortable. The clothes are of the highest quality. They remind me of the Talbots clothes where I used to shop, . The sales people are all very helpful. I also, got a really, really pretty like rayon, I think it’s rayon sleeveless top with like muted yellow, and muted blue on it. It looked like a watercPI loved it, but it was too tight around the waist. I take an extra large , and all the other clothes fit me fine. I also got a pink tank top, but that was too tight. Then, I got a pair of I guess rayon long black pants that had a tie and elastic waist and my girlfriend told me they’re Palazzo pants. I don’t have any dress pants so, I’m going out to dinner with three other nurse girlfriends and that’s what I’m going to wear. I’ll probably wear the turquoise summer sweater and the Palazzo pants. I’ve lost about 30 pounds with the help of Ozempic and, now we are a size 18 but, the pants keep falling down and I have to wear a belt which is on the last hook. I’m going to get a pair of size 16 to see if I can fit in them. My ideal size is a 12. But, I’m not going to get discouraged and keep working on it. lol”

I was told to go to cortland park from old Lyme inn where we were staying anyway found the cutest dress, all kinds of adorable clothes and also a cute summery flowy dress which is perfect for Florida! Really good quality! But to top it all off I left my wallet and didn’t realize until a couple of days later! I called the store and they had it thank God! It kinda was a lil hard getting through TSA without id but I made it and the nice lady at Cortland put the wallet in a bag to send overnight! I can’t thank enough great customer service! Blessings!
