I do not like being approached by perfume bearing SAs, I am a particular grouch in that way, but can imagine it would be fun. Glad you had a fun getaway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407939 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:40:56 +0000 Style Fan 2407939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful experience!&nbsp; My experience with Dillard's in Jacksonville, Florida, was lovely.&nbsp; The SAs were so helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407915 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:51:13 +0000 Ginger 2407915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds so fun! I've been sleeping on the in-store clearance, but I have to admit that I'm even more partial to the clearance Dillard's. It's only 10 minutes from me and is where clearance merchandise goes for even further discounts. Locally called "dirty Dillards" (it's not dirty!) but is usually located in older malls. I've found lots of great shoes there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407914 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:38:38 +0000 Suz 2407914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun experience and great report!

I do want to point out that each store IS an individual experience depending on the size of the market.&nbsp; My Tucson store was once quite extensive and had wonderful stock, but has gone downhill with new management and of course, covid and other factors.&nbsp; Since Tucson is only and hour and a half from that fab Dillards in Scottsdale, I can't complain too much. I am happy to hear that you had such a great experience at the Texas store.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407908 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:31:41 +0000 Angie 2407908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwwh, <b>Ket</b>!

I will really have to check them out. There aren't any in my town (or state) but maybe about 3 hours away.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407866 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:02:18 +0000 Lisa 2407866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a lovely shopping experience. I'll have to keep them in mind next time I come across a Dillard's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407849 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:56:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great report Ket! Did you still have to fly to Texas or could you drive? The distances in the US are so large it’s difficult to get my head around them. I know our Canadian relatives would happily drive very long distances that we would balk at.<br /> I’m so happy for you that you had a fun time as a family, especially after all having been ill.<br /> That sounds really good customer service, very polite and a friendly comment about your “bodyguards” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407847 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:24:13 +0000 JAileen 2407847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really should just bite the bullet and drive the eight miles to our Dillards. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407843 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 18:40:21 +0000 Ket 2407843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goldenpig, it was so fun! I do find their selection is usually quite large. I found a pair of sandals I was hunting for about 3 years ago on clearance at their online site.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I think they will continue to do well. They have survived a lot of store closures, and market fluctuations over the decades. Their online store has likely helped them a lot.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407841 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 18:18:25 +0000 goldenpig 2407841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds lovely! What a great shopping experience! I bought a bag from Dillards online recently because they had a Brahmin bag I wanted on clearance, they have a great selection. The name sounds so old school to me, but I hope they survive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-dillards-i-went#post-2407839 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 17:46:23 +0000 Ket 2407839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-lots-of-mall-shopping">As our fearless, fabulous leader Angie shared about Dillards</a>, I have to share my recent experience.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br />Last weekend, my husband surprised our son and I with a trip to Texas! It was his birthday and he wanted to go somewhere new but still within a realistic commute. I had never visited Texas so was curious and interested.&nbsp; </p> <p>The city we stayed in had a Dillard's department store. Because Angie had shared about it, I felt compelled to visit. For YLF research, of course. And because I grew up with Dillard's. I mean, what is a vacation without shopping? My admiration and respect for Dillard's runs deep.&nbsp;I once purchased a silk chiffon leopard scarf there and wore it to near shreds for years. It was such high quality and such a gorgeous color palette. (Not your usual leopard; it was the most gorgeous midtone peach, camel, and milk and dark chocolate colors--all in real silk. Le sigh...)</p> <p>The mall had <u>two</u> Dillard's, one at each end of the mall. One end was luggage, children's, home goods and menswear. The other end was women's wear, perfume, shoes, and juniors.&nbsp;</p> <p>We visited on a Friday evening and entered on the menswear end. A sales associate actually came out to open the door for us to enter. :O&nbsp;<br />So refreshing!</p> <p>All of the sales associates were lovely. I almost was mobbed in the perfume department. Five associates asked me if I needed any help. It didn't annoy me at all. It was done so politely and sincerely, and at just the right intervals. All SAs were on their toes, very polite and kind, but not pushy. I loved it.&nbsp;One employee actually complimented me when I walked in. She said she had never seen a woman with two such handsome bodyguards accompanying her in their store. It was cheeky and lovely. Made my day really and I still smile remembering our interaction. Another associate took my candle from me and put it on hold, so I could shop hands free. I'm sure other stores have great customer service, but it has been some time since I experienced CS like this.</p> <p>Women's clothing was lovely. I saw so many pretty and interesting items. They were having a huge clearance sale to make way for new spring times. There was a glorious red tartan skirt-- maxi length with some kind of ruffle details--that still lives in my mind, on clearance to boot. I'm not quite yet fit into regular sizing, and none of the labels they carried catered to my current size, so I didn't buy it or any other clothes. It was hard to walk away from that tartan skirt though!</p> <p>In the end, I purchased a large Voluspa candle in their blood orange scent and two flavors of Compartes chocolate bars. My favorite of the two is Cowboy Crunch, a 48% milk chocolate bar with caramel, Cap'n Crunch cereal, and salted peanuts.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with Angie: <b>Dillards is the most underrated department store in the country!</b> They have excellent buyers. Lots of lovely brands and beautiful displays. Great prices and sales. If I had one nearby, I would probably shop there often. I actually order shoes from Dillard's website occasionally. They stock a lot of great brands and often run sales.</p> <p> </div></p>
