Precious Boutique

Before we ate at Hooter’s my friend stopped and admired the dresses that were on the window display.
After we ate, we went inside and looked around. There were a lot of clothing and accessories. Brings me back to high school days of looking for prom dresses.
The store was really empty with only a worker that kind of followed us throughout the store. Ever now and then we’d point at a dress /​piece of clothing we liked and commented on each other’s picking.
They have nice merchandise though I wouldn’t really know when I’d wear them. When I do have an occasion I’ll be sure to stop by and really take a look at their dresses though if I do start looking it may be overwhelming and I really am not a fan of those beads or whatever they’re called. Then there’s the consideration of which color and style looks best. Oh no!

This was a great find. i needed a dress for the sunset dinner cruise but with only a few short hours, a limited budget and very little packed in my suitcase. I thought this place was such a great find. One stop shop. Got the dress, the shoes, purse and hair clip all within my budget. Jia, the salesperson, was really helpful and gave me a bargain. i would highly recommend this place.

Precious? Sorry, not so much. While window shopping in Aloha Tower what should I spy out of the corner of my eye, but the familiar Pink logo of Juicy Couture. Ok, even though I’m more of a Gucci than a Juicy kind of girl that definitely had me walking through the door. At first glance I noticed that dresses that had looked pretty and attractive from afar were a bit gaudy upon closer inspection, clearly someone had a little too much fun with their bedazzler. I headed towards the juicy handbags, and they have a fairly large selection to choose from here at Precious although I don’t know whether the styles are current or last seasons offerings since I don’t follow Juicy too closely. I hadn’t been in the store for more than two minutes when a sales associate suddenly appeared nearby. At first I thought that she was going to ask if I needed help or maybe direct me towards all of the Juicy accessories in the display case.
Nope, the sales associate didn’t say a word to me even though I was the only customer in the store! She just stood a few feet away minutely adjusting displays that weren’t a bit in need of cleaning or adjustment, while surreptitiously watching me. Seriously?!? FYI shoplifters usually don’t wear Chanel sunglasses, grrr! I understand that stores have to be vigilant against shoplifters I truly do, and I sympathize with them because losing merchandise to petty criminals when you’re struggling to run a business in a bad economy must really suck. However, making someone who is shopping in your store and who could potentially buy a (sorta) «big ticket» item like a $ 260 Juicy handbag feel like a criminal is ridiculous. When a shopper feels unwelcome more often than not they will not spend any money in your store, no matter how cute your merchandise may be. Since I really didn’t appreciate the less than friendly vibe in this store I left within five minutes. Sorry little cousin, I’ll find you that juicy purse elsewhere.
