Adorn

Loved it! Great selection of great quality clothing at reasonable prices for a boutique. Excellent customer service and not pushy at all. Spent $ 100 on a thick sweater and a headband. Love it and would definitely go back!

We heart Adorn. Laid back store, great atmosphere and quality clothing!

Nice clothing, well made, but way over-​priced. My wife used to shop here, as did I while they were carrying men’s clothing, but over the past few years the prices have become overpriced to where we can no longer shop at Adorn. In addition, the genuine customer service has disappeared.

I would give Adorn one star but I hope that my experience does not reflect the owner and rather it had to do with the woman working that day… I have lived in this neighborhood for over three years and have frequented Adorn often. Not anymore. When the owner (I think she was the owner/​buyer) was around more I was always kindly greeted, helped and made to feel welcome. However, I am not sure what the deal is with a few of the shop gals but they are not welcoming, they are pretentious and frankly obnoxious. The last time I was in there as soon as I walked through the front door the gal at the counter complimented my purse and asked if it was a «such and such purse» obviously throwing out a high-​end brand name I had never heard of. I responded with a chuckle that it was some no-​name brand purse I had purchased about 10 years ago from Tj-​Maxx but that I always get compliments… Her response, with a disgusted look on her face was «Oh, never mind, come a little closer maybe I don’t like it.» Maybe her intentions were not to be pretentious and obnoxious but her behavior the following 10 minutes as I perused the store were not ones that made me feel welcomed or like she was there to help me find what I was looking for. It just seems that they are catering to a certain customer and the past dozen visits have not made me feel like I was one of those customers.

Visited Portland with a friend for a weekend and had a wonderful time shopping and exploring. Adorn was a very cute boutique, I think there were 2 locations. I was able to find some cool local designers.

Great shop! Really nice people who work there. I even made the mistake of bringing my children and they were so nice to them and me. I highly recommend this little gem.

Tall girls, pay attention!!! This shop is the best.
I’m 6’1″ and usually wear an 8 or a 10 and a M or an L. I NEVER have trouble finding something that I love that fits like it is supposed to here. Not only do they carry lines that work for tall women (Prarie, Nikita, and Red 23 to name a few) but the delightful owner and her clerks know how to find what works for your body type.
They also carry brand for your petite friends and jewelry that compliments every body type if you are having one of those days. :)
I could go on and on. Bottom line, go to Shop Adorn. Meet Nicole. You will fall in love and never look better.

While I haven’t been back to Adorn since my review, I have heard from the owner. She personally responded to my review and that meant so very much. This event weighed heavy on me for a while and I still regret not saying something at the time. I learned a lesson that day. Anyway, while the comments were not cool at all, we all make mistakes and hopefully we learn and do better next time. I am really love the Project Base bracelets so I may stop in soon! Thanks for the thoughtful and genuine response.

This boutique is my favorite in Portland. I shop here about once a month and always before a big trip like to NY or San Fran not only to stock up on basics like tank tops or skinny jeans but mostly for the fashion tips. The sales gals, esp Jess, love to bring stuff to my room and help me create looks so that I am not only comfortable but can wear that look being a casual tourist or they will show you how to transform that look into «date night». I’ve found gorgeous shoes there, awesome jewelry I can wear in any season, their clearance section rocks plus they have some comfy sleep wear and super comfy, tummy compressing tights. The owner is warm and friendly and loves to show me all the new things that arrived. My last 3 purses have all come from there along with my last 3 pairs of jeans, tights, necklaces and I plan on buying a fancy ring with the rewards points I am racking up. Did I mention the rewards points? A fun, easy way (they track it for you) to earn money to get something unique for yourself.
The store is lit well, the prices are great for anyone’s budget and it is very organized. They hold trunk sales, have amazing accessories and shoes (their yoshi flats rock!!) and everything is displayed very nicely.
I enjoy shopping here a lot for the personal touches. Ive received thank you notes and referral cards to pass along plus they will take your pic and enter you into contests to win stuff at their lovely store. I’ve not had one bad experience and do believe the gals working would NEVER talk bad about a customer ever. They are just not the type of people to do that.

By the time I went into Adorn, I felt like I was in the movie Groundhog Day. The same shop, over and over and over again. It had some nice things, some well-​made clothes in good fabrics. I do like a lot of the styles they carry — on the funky side. Some fun jewelry — I think they might have had a small piece or two for $ 12.
It’s bright, but somehow feels tighter than it should. There were quite a few folks milling around — and one very cute dog. Although I was warmly weclomed by the dog’s person, I just didn’t feel very comfortable walking to the back of the store. So I didn’t. As I read though other reviews, I see maybe it’s more that this is for young, hip, cool and thin people — of which I am maybe only .75 of one (cool, that is). So that doesn’t feel too good.
Nice things, sized out of my realm, priced out of my wheelhouse. But nothing I haven’t seen before, maybe two doors down.

Lovely Clothes, carefully chosen and very stylish (even for Portland!). But goodness are the shop girls rude. You get «the look» up and down when you walk in. The last time i popped in had been gardening, apparently i didn’t look good enough to greet. i had to walk up to the counter and ask about a pair of leggings i saw on their website. Not. So. Nice.
i decided to come back another day. If you come in NOT wearing cargo pants they greet you and offer to help. So. Much. Nicer.

What a great store! I had all of 10 minutes to cruise through and in just that much time found a wonderful «Free People» dress, or is it a slip? I got a snug black slip and coordinating ¾ length leggings to round it out as an outfit. The woman who helped me was extremely helpful. The whole vibe in there is great, with an array of interesting unusual sometimes quirky clothing to match.

Great selection. Found an awesome Obey shirt here and spoke with the owner who was very kind and helpful.

Love love love this boutique! The owner is so friendly which I feel is one of the most important things as a small business owner. She has great style & it really shows she loves her job. They always have fun dresses for both the younger gal as well as the more conservative woman. The accessories are mostly (if not all) local and again funky and fun.
The thing I love most about this store is that they carry men’s clothing. It is so hard for me to convince my boyfriend to go shopping with me however he doesn’t hesitate when i ask him to go here. Some of his favorite shirts and jeans have come from shop adorn!
Oh and just one more thing to add is the awesome sales & rewards they offer to their customers. Really makes u feel like they appreciate your business!

I like this shop. They are right close to my house and right close to my heart. I shop the mess out of this shop. I’m going to come in tomorrow and maybe I’ll buy a shirt or a pant. It’ll be a great experience either way. The staff is nice and honest and will order you things if you have to have that jacket in tan. You can’t just wear black all the time people.
They have a lot of Portland style clothes that I’m sure some of you will appreciate more than me, but they also have clothes that look good too. Did you catch that burn? It’s ok, a little water and a bandage will make it better. Don’t put butter on it. I don’t know who told you that you should do that, but the butter just traps in the heat from the burn. TIL right?
They even have some awesome wallets and belts if you need them. I like the wallets, though I have a hard time spending that on a wallet, they do probably last forever though. Considering this dumb fossil wallet I’ve got has lasted 12 years, its probably not a bad investment. I’m just saying that velcro wallet is awesome, but maybe you should get one of these premium BUSINESS wallets. I don’t want to be the only one.

Hello Unilocalers,
I found this shop last year and (i’ve been to all the lovely boutiques PDX has to offer) its really THE BEST. If you need an afternoon of «shopping» or «me time» the entire Fremont street is really fun to explore.
What sets Shop Adorn apart is all the little details, they are a true mom and pop and all the fixtures and racks have been designed and made by the shop owners husband. They have a great range of: low-​mid prices items, designer denim, jewelry, fits for size 0 – 16, and very supportive and fun staff.
I have 2 pairs of pants from them and they are the only pair of pants i wear. Ever. There are the Prarie Underground skinny girdles and I have to say I have been working on losing weight (for 2 years) and they are the only pants that have fit over the past year. I have been in during my weight struggles and the staff and owner have been more than sensitive to helping me figure out what would look good and not at all what you would expect from a typical «boutique».

I love this store, period. I’ve tried to write this review a couple times but my head starts swimming with its awesomeness and then I just go there to shop. I will try to bullet point for my ease only.
1. The owner and employees. They rule. They are so helpful, honest and grateful for your business. T hey even have a stylist, Sara Dahl that comes in for their client events who helps you shop and gives advice on fashion. We aren’t talking vogue fashion, we are talking real people, personal fashion and style. It’s funny in that some of my most favorite clothes are from Shop Adorn and aren’t even the ones I picked out. It’s either pieces that Nicole (owner), Debbie (employee) or Sara (stylist) picked out for me to try on insisting it would look great.
2. The selection of clothes, accessories and other goodies are plentiful and ever changing. Some local, some not, all awesome. Be warned that you may run into some very expensive items upon first look. Just take your time, look around and find an array of very affordable items to more expensive items available. They are also one of the very few stores in town that carry Pendleton’s Portland Collection (holy crap YAY!).
3. They hold client events, truck shows, secret and not secret sales that sometimes offer light refreshments (the good kind). On top of that, they have a killer reward point system and referral program that lets you earn money for shopping and gives new clients freebies.
In short, this is my favorite store in Portland and has severely reduced the money and time I spend shopping in the Nordstrom’s and Anthropologie (I still love you though Anthro). I never leave empty handed nor have I ever returned something that I changed my mind about or regretted buying (which is something I am notorious for doing). Ok, I’m heading over there to shop now…

I do not like shopping for clothes but the folks at Adorn are so helpful they makes it pretty painless. The personal attention is top-​notch and the variety of quality merchandise makes it fun to stop in often.

I am so glad they had a Portland Perks to introduce me to this store.
I have officially fallen in love with this place. They carry my absolute fave leggings and camisoles (the long style in an amazing fabric that lasts forevah).
Service is always great, and they make great recommendations.
I am obsessed with the jewelry they sell. One brand is labeled «Sarah», is local, and its beautiful, stylish, and simple with a twist.
I would highly recommending stopping in here. This is a little gem that makes me forget there is a Nordstrom’s 5 blocks from my house.

I found this shop about a year ago when I moved into the area. My first time in, Nicole was so sweet and helpful. I found some great pieces that I still wear.
Fast forward to last week. I am driving home and see a clearence rack outside of the store. My heart stops and I slam on the brakes.
I found a great locally made skirt and a really cute top that you can’t find anywhere else. Plus she has a great selection of jewelery.
The best part is that Nicole is so down to earth and friendly. Plus she found some great pieces that worked with my body type.
