I am sad. This store is brimming with cute-looking, well-priced clothes, including a healthy sale section for even further savings. The atmosphere is light and woodsy, the music is great, and when I needed to use a fitting room, the staff were most pleasant human beings. But here comes the tragic part: out of a diverse pile of stuff, nothing looked good on me.
The shapeless shift dresses were just not happening, and though the vintage-looking dresses had a little more structure, they all seemed to have some detail I wouldn't wear to work, such as cutouts on the belly (yeah, no one needs to see that) or too much sheerness. Either that, or the clothes had some crazy pattern. Some people avoid gluten in their diet, I have a no-florals policy in my closet. I like outfits that are easy to put together, and I have more than once been duped into buying patterned pants, which don't match with anything, at all.
But I'll keep trying with 8th & Main, because I like the vintage looks; I hope fall and winter collections will bring better structure and fit. Fingers crossed, belly sucked in.
