Such a great selection of clothing and accessories. I always stop in when I'm in Chicago, and I always leave with quite the haul. I appreciate that they strike a good balance of higher and lower price points, and that there is a lot of good colorful and patterned pieces!

Had to run in for a baby shower outfit and change there. Betsy was so helpful and attentive. She helped me find the perfect outfit
