I've by no means been to Filene's Basement, actually all these years I thought they only sold womens clothing! Oops, looks like I dropped the ball on that one! I stopped by Filene's following lunch at Cheesecake Factory and took the escalator up. On the way up, there was a gaping hole within the middle of the drywall separating the up and down escalator. Looks like someone went just a little bit overboard!

I got to the second floor and thought about how little Filene's was! It seemed way too little for the amount of rent they most likely had to pay but that is when I noticed yet an additional escalator up that led to the mens department phew. I can't tell you how numerous things I've gotten from here just in the past couple of months. Just these days, I purchased over $700 of Diane von Furstenberg luggage for $100 on clearance. I've gotten Kenny Cole ballet flats, Nine West pumps, gloves, umbrellas, hats, purses, etc. and all at incredible costs. And this specific location off Michigan has the super lengthy elevator that makes you feel like you are going up to heaven.

This is really a great store. Fantastic location, excellent merchandise in a variety of sizes and extremely nice staff. What else could you want? When I'm lookin' for some thing I couldn't find in a thrift store, I go to Filene's. It is truly fantastic for underwear and tights - things I will not buy in a thrift store for sure!
