My daughter and I have been going on shopping adventures together since she was knee high to a grass hopper and we have always had the same sense of style. Recently she introduced me to a new store on one of our shopping trips, ALTAR’D STATE. She kept raving about how much she loved this place, how nice the staff was, the quality of the clothing and most importantly what really caught my attention was when she stated how great she felt when she went there. As a mom, I pried into this statement and she of course was happy to go into details. My daughter began to explain about the amazing culture of the store and how a portion of the net proceeds actually go back to various organizations, being for the homeless, cancer and missions. And this is not just on a random basis, this is year around. She actually said being in the store brought a sense of peace to her. With all of these amazing things I was hearing, I had to check this place out! So I did and the moral of this antidote is every she said is absolutely true and I am obsessed with everything about ALTAR’D STATE!
Being a fashion forward individual, I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of this amazing culture and share it with all of you as soon as possible. On today’s blog, I will be sharing the ALATAR’S STATE of Mind and what it’s all about. It’s rare to find a store that actually has a mission, and this one does! The mission, which can be found displayed proudly in each location and on their website states, “Our mission is to serve as an inspiration, empower others and give more than we receive. We do this by lifting those who need a helping hand, volunteering our time to enrich lives, and extending the power of prayer.” That is powerful , inspiring and empowering!

“TRUE BEAUTY: Together we will change the world for the better. We will positively impact those who need it most. We will warm souls and create happiness.”
ALTAR’D STATE sells a variety of items in store and online from clothing, to baby items, jewelry and home goods. You are greeted by an associated at the door every time you visit the store and not to be pushy , but just to say hello , a compliment or how are you! Again, another feel good aspect of this awesome store. The store has the items mixed in together strategically through-ought the store in a way where you get to see everything while shopping the clothing items as well.

The dressing rooms are located in the back of the store and they are something to behold! You are again greeted by an associate, who uniquely labels you dressing room with your name (nice touch)!The dressing room area is beautifully lit and well appointed with big mirrors and plenty of walking space to strut your looks back there in your try ons! This is definitely one of my favorite places in the store!
The store also offers a sale room in the back of the store. That’s right! An entire room filled with items on sale! Clothing, shoes, jewelry, home goods, it’s all in there! You want to make sure you hit this space up for sure for some great deals!
Once you have made your selections and are ready to check out, you can find the registers located in the back of the store. There are always plenty of sales associates at the counter, so you will never be waiting long! The sales associates fold each clothing item and wrap it in tissue paper when bagging up your purchases, which again is such a nice touch. The final touch is they bring your bags around to you and hand them off to you , thanking you and wishing you well. This may not sound like much, but as an avid shopper, this is an extremely gracious touch and makes for a great shopping experience.

ALTAR’D STATE is a true gem and I am so glad that I have been given the opportunity to share them with all of you. I hope you get the opportunity to make it in to one of their stores, because it truly is an enjoyable experience every trip! I have linked their website here for you to check them out online and have also linked items below each photo for those interested in those items!
I would love to hear about your shopping adventures at ALTAR’D STATE, so please feel free to leave comments for me! As always happy shopping and much love to you all! XoXo – SheShe
The pants and the sweatshirt are both a super soft cotton material. I would recommend sizing up if you want more of a baggy or oversized fit, as both the pants and sweatshirt have slender fit to them.
I have linked these items here for you along with a few similar items:
This was the first pants suit that I tried on. It had vertical navy, white and maroon stripes. The zipper was in the back and was hidden which was a nice touch and it has a sash belt included for effect. The pants suit is a great quality and beautiful colors, but it was just not a seller for me. I still felt like it made me appear short in stature, which is exactly the opposite of what I am looking for in a dress pant. I am wearing the size 2, but probably would have sized down to the 0 as the 2 was still considerably roomy. I can’t find it on the website, so it may only be an in store item.
This Downtown Cami Tank is of course one of my all time favorite styles from Express. It is a flowy tank and I am wearing an XS for reference. I have this tank in multiple colors already and I love how versatile it is. You can wear it with dress pants, a skirt or dress it casual with denim cut offs or jeans for date night! The tanks are also on sale right now for buy one and get one for 50% off! I chose not to go with the pink linen pants, mainly because I am now buying transition pieces for fall and these would not get much use between now and then. Wish I would have come across them in the Spring, for sure! The pants can be found at the link below:
This BP Exposed Seam Sweater is on presale right now for $31.90 and comes in two great colors! It is lightweight enough to transition in to fall with and versatile enough to layer in the winter!
