bebe

Hey Unilocal,friends! This business is CLOSED and the phone number is now a residential number. Please find a different Bebe location. Thanks!

«Hi Rasheda» that’s the normal greeting as I sashay into Bebe on the country club plaza. Followed by hugs and a quick convo about how fab my outfit is (yes, I ALWAYS look fab) and a quick preview of the stores new inventory. I end dropping at least $ 300 – 400 a month on this store, which isn’t hard, as most items cost more than $ 100+ but SO worth it! I get compliments on all my shoes, dresses and purses I purchase here. Even from people that work at bebe. Yes their clothes will make any woman feel like a sexy fashionista!

Ew.
I stopped even browsing years ago — I can see all I want to from the storefront window: mannequins dressed in cheesy sequin tube tops and skin tight dresses with large keyhole cutouts on the bust.
Yes, I know their merchandise well — clothing best worn while clubbing somewhere trendy or trashy or both. I don’t mean to make judgments, but its difficult to not with a store like Bebe and all it represents when their sales women are just what I’ve described plus the haught of Rodeo Drive, a truly winning combination (can you detect my sarcasm?)
I don’t know how many times I would walk in alone and be coldly ignored by the women working, dressed like they were about to go clubbing themselves, and attending to the customers who either dressed like them or carried a large expensive purse! How petty is that?
The irony is that Bebe does not exude class, although I think the staff would disagree (they act like they have all the class in the world… while dressed as high class hookers.) I fear if I were to ever step foot in that store again I’d snap hard at the next woman to try a Pretty Woman moment on me!
Bebe needs some class in their clothing, no chain embellishments, no rayon, no «pleated crinkle chiffon bustier» (I just looked on their website and this was featured in their latest fall line — thank you Bebe for so easily proving my point!)
This is a harsh critique, yes, but necessary after the years of passive aggression I underwent as a blind, young and style-​less customer.
