They have the slowest website ever, and if you go into one of their stores you are bombarded with "Are you sure you don't want our store credit card?" by every single person you run across - my record for fewest sales pitches is 5. I feel bad for the staff, obviously they have to try to sell the store card, but when you say politely "I know you have to ask me, but I am not interested in owning another credit card, please just open up a dressing room/ring me up so I can PAY YOU FOR WHAT I WANT TO BUY AND LEAVE" 3-4 times to each person it's not worth it. Too bad, because some of their clothes are very cute and their lightweight denim fits me beautifully. I can’t shop at Avenue.

Black jersey with sequins. So pretty and very affordable with the coupon! Check out the Audrey dress — got that one for my office holiday party, and it’s GORGEOUS! Black jersey with sequins.

At least on the two colors I tried on in the store. On the plus side, it's all soft and non-itchy. FYI - for those of you with larger arms - the sleeves on this sweater were stupidly tight.
