I first discovered Altar'd State a couple years ago when I was traveling through Portland, Oregon and was wandering around Washington Square Mall to try the Boom Crepes (which was quite a delicious treat!) and turned a corner to behold the most beautiful store I've ever seen in a mall. It felt like a modern princess castle for the girly girl who loves coquette-cottage-core styles and Bridgerton romance. All the details in the store from the chandeliers, custom wooden clothes hangers, to the beautiful stationary-like tags on the clothes were so delightful. And---gasp!---the fitting rooms with individual chandeliers in each stall was exquisite! Despite the long line of girls waiting for the fitting rooms, it was worth the wait to experience the glamour inside!
Whoever designed this store and concept has my heart and soul in mind!
But my biggest complaint though is the super expensive price tags for the fast-fashion quality of clothes that reminds me of Forever 21. Luckily though, they have decent clearance sales, so if you are lucky, you may be able to snatch a cute item at F21 prices in the clearance section.
Here's the current sale items online that is in my cart:
Effie Quilted Collar Jacket (Sale $28.99 from $98!)
