I couldn’t believe it when I walked through Kirkwood yesterday and saw Maurices still exists. According to my friend, a Bismarck local, this store was recently remodeled — and the new store is very cute. Bright, trendy color pattern(eggshell blues and browns), good lighting, super cute dressing rooms with comfy seats. (Expensive) trendy clothes are offered up to size 24, though the few I tried on ran teeny teeny tiny in size. The salesgirls didn’t notice that my friend and I were still in the fitting rooms when they closed shop at 6pm, but we weren’t rushed out and they gladly made the sale and raised the gates for us.
