DownEast Basics

This is a great place to shop for business casual clothing. The clothes are the appropriate length for the workplace. I love their skirts and receive many compliments at work.

I have browsed in DownEast Basics in Chandler Fashion Center a few times in the past but I have never really found anything that caught my eye. Today was a different story. I am not sure if the buyers chose different items for this season or what the change has been but it was definitely a good one.
I was greeted upon entering the store by the lone associate behind the counter. I felt a little bad for her because she was the only associate working and also steaming clothing and the store seemed to be getting busier and busier by the minute. She did seem to handle it okay but I think she needed a little more help than just her in store. She told me that all dresses were all sale for $ 30 when I came in so I went over to the dress rack. Right off the bat I found three dresses that caught my eye. I can only wear black, white, brown and navy to work so a place that sells basics is right up my alley. I picked out a few dresses and the associate offered to start me a room while I browsed. I also found a few basic layering tees and skirts to try and eventually I made my way to the fitting room. I would suggest adding an additional hook to the fitting rooms because just one is never enough when making decisions.
I made my way to the check out with one of the dresses I tried. I would have also gotten one of the ¾ length sleeve tees that they had because it fit very nicely but I decided to leave that for another day. Overall the clothes here fit very nicely. If you are a little more on the hourglass side with a full bust, the tops and skirts are cut very nicely here. I will definitely be back for more.
