For people who say that malls are now dead obviously haven't been to Crossroads Mall on a weekend or an evening recently.  It seems like it's always packed and hard to find a parking space.  If you travel to the Mall of American in Bloomington, you will find the same thing - generally.  I mean, obviously there are some slower times at the mall, but for the most part, it's fairly busy.  Crossroads has been doing a great job trying to introduce some newer things into the mall.

SHOPPING ONLINE HAS IT'S PERKS AS DOES SHOPPING IN PERSON

Some people will still prefer to shop online.  Sometimes you can get a better deal depending on what site you are shopping.  Shein is a hit or miss.  A lot of times the fit and fabric are now what was expected.  Same with Temu.  You always need to read the reviews if you are interested in a certain item.

Another popular women's clothing site is Lulus.  This is not to be confused with Lululemon, which is mostly overpriced athletic wear.

LULU'S DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE TYPE OF CLOTHING THEY SELL

Life's a Party, Dress Like It — From black tie affairs to barefoot on the beach, we've got dresses for every celebration. Whether it’s a girl's night out or a major life moment, find the right dress at Lulus.

POP UP STORE OPENING IN MAY

Lulu's is opening sometime this May, which of course starts tomorrow (Friday).  According to the Mall of America, this is a pop up store, which could mean temporary.  How long?  No idea.  Smart money goes to how successful it is.  That would be the determining factor as to how long the store in this capacity will be open.  Otherwise, they will go back to online only option.  When the store opens in May, the online option wll still be there.  So, it's just up to you as to which way you would like to shop.  And those of us who shop by feel, as in what the fabric feels like, a regular store is great compared to the online option.
