L3 Boutique

Ok, so I’d heard about this place from twitter, went on their website & decided to check it out. I was going to make an online purchase but just thought I’d go in so that i could try things on & not have to pay for shipping. First off, I live in redondo beach & the drive to Pasadena (during rush hour) was a pain in the ASS! But I needed an outfit! This place was VERY hard to find bc the address finder on the Unilocal app takes you somewhere completely different. It’s tucked away in what appears to be an alley, definitely out of view from the street or sidewalk.
After a painstaking 45 minutes (& calling the shop 7 TIMES with NO answer), I finally found the place. My disgust by this point was at an all time high until I walked in & was greeted in the most amazingly polite & friendly way. The young lady working (who I will assume is the owner) was VERY friendly, letting me know what deals and sales were going on right away! I browsed the shop for a few, picked up 3 colorful items to try on & she helped me with a fitting room.
Now, I love a nice spacious fitting room with lots of lighting and lots of mirrors… this was the complete opposite of that. It was basically a small area with curtains hanging from the ceiling, one slim mirror & with one single manual light that was down so low and shining so bright in my face, I couldn’t even see myself –_​– ! Not pleasant whatsoever!
The clothes are VERY cute (look MUCH better online), very colorful & modern, BUT they run small AND the quality is NOT the greatest (you can tell almost immediately). The prices are OK but for the material of the clothing/​quality, they should be MUCH cheaper! There weren’t a variety of sizes but I found a top & a dress that I really liked. The dress is a small (felt like an extra small) & although I wear a medium, I decided to get it bc it was just THAT DARN CUTE!
Needless to say, I spent about $ 100 on just those two items but SAVED almost $ 50 since everything was 30% off. There’s NO WAY I would have paid full price for what I got!
Overall, a sub-​par experience, I will update my review once my dress & top have had a couple wears to let you know if they last! :-/​yikes!
