Mona Lisa's Photography

Jul 2013

**Apparently this place is photography upstairs and clothing downstairs, which is a nice way to share rent. However, this review is for the clothing area. My sister and I were out shopping with our mom and came across this place. The store is over packed with clothing and purses--the styles of which I can best describe as Plus Sized Biker-Hippie-Cowgirl. This place is not at all my size or style, but we were trying to get our mom to wear clothing that fits her better. After walking in we were stared at and followed by an employee, which we super did not appreciate. We were the only people in there and after the woman, startling me, finally decided to shout something about a tank top I was looking at, the owner came out. She told us about a lot of the clothing and was helpful for my mom [who is right between normal and plus sizing]. But then she just kept bringing my mom things and talking to her. It's nice to have a few suggestions, but it was a bit much to be continually brought things and talked to while my mom was in the changing room. We ended up not buying anything because my mom felt too pressured. Overall, it was a strange experience and just wasn't the store for us, and if I was going on my experience and taste alone I would have rated lower. However, I feel like looking around at the size of women and styles that people in SD wear, this is a clothing store that offers what a good amount of women want. I just hope that the owner and employees pull back on the customer smothering!
