Editorial Review for Closet Upstairs – by Jillian Dudek

The Scene
Don't confuse the Closet Upstairs with a run-of-the-mill thrift store; it's pure vintage. Cramped racks of clothes leave little walking space, while cowboy hats and angel wings clutter the ceiling.

The Goods
The store's eclectic collection of fashions from days gone by may or may not suit your modern-day look, but you're sure to find something suitable for Halloween; wigs, leather garments and feather boas bolster the regular retro inventory. Try on vinyl pants, blue suede shoes or a flapper dress. If you find prices a bit exorbitant, check the sale rack. We found a sequined prom dress for $45 and funky scarf for $4. The Closet Upstairs also has a few costumes, such as a '50s poodle skirt and a Pink Ladies shirt, for rent.

This place is the best. You can find the most awesome current and vintage selection. It has alot of stock to choose from ...no matter what type of clothing desired. You should check it out. You'll never know what great outfit you may stumble across.
