Ardene

This place is A-​OK in my books. If you need some cheap accessories, this is the place to go.
The 2 girls working didn’t acknowledge me when I entered the store. They continued their conversation about how when they go out to the bar, they are so different from the quiet, shy girls they are at work. It’s called alcohol ladies. It has that effect.
Other than crappy service, Ardene has some good stuff to offer.
They had 2 t-​shirts for $ 15 here the other day and 2 hoodies for $ 30. I was surprised because I didn’t know that Ardene carried clothes. But they do have some good deals. Don’t go shopping strictly for clothes though. They are an accessories store and, therefore, don’t have a lot of selection when it comes to clothes.
They have a huge wall of sandals right now too though. They are $ 15 and they have some really cute things.
Other than that, earrings, jewelry, scarves, they’ve got it. And it’s all relatively cheap too!

Okay, I have to say this was the only store at Westmount Shopping Center that actually excited me. It was the best Ardene store that I’ve ever seen. It seems like they have expanded their items. Now their store includes clothing, shoes, socks and handbags. They have their usual things, such as hair bands, earrings, and necklaces. They also carry some great scarfs, both for everyday wear and for winter. I do have to say some of their handbags are really cute. They had some great, old school looking styles in some different colors. If you are like me and can’t afford to spend loads of money on a trivial things the items at Ardene are great. If you need any ideas on gifts for a young teen then Ardene is the place to come. I know my ten-​year-​old niece loves shopping at here. Actually, I really a scarf that my niece had when I asked where she got it from she told me it was from Ardene. She loves picking up some earrings, bracelets and necklaces from there also.
Like I said Ardene now carries some clothing. They had some long sleeved plaid shirts that seem to be very popular these days. You could pick up two for $ 20. They also carry some great zip up sweaters (two for $ 30). They also carry shoes and I have to say I really liked the style and colors of their sneakers. They were actually on sale; you could pick out two of your favorite styles for $ 20.
Oh, they also carried some great looking socks and stockings. According to my niece, knee high socks are totally in and Ardene carries some awesome styles and colors. I also found some «hip» pairs of plaid stockings that I would pick up if I really had a need for stockings in general. At least now I know where to pick some up when I need some.
The Westmount location was the best-​looking Ardene store that I’ve seen. The woman who was working was really nice and very friendly.
