Petra loves cool clothing and costumes...

If you're interested in having a wardrobe that isn't dictated by the current juniors department at over-priced department stores, and you are able to actually think for yourself, then these stores might be fun for you to peruse. This is also a good guide for people who are aware of the following: 1) All clothing is in essence costuming (We all make judgments based on what we wear. if you want to be a drone, keep shopping based on what fashion magazines tell you to wear...And if you want to make sure the world is filled with drones, keep up the catty comments...) 2) Just because something is "in fashion" doesn't mean it will look good on you (i.e. LOW rise jeans/pants make everyone's hips look wider, and I don't think we all need help here...) 3) Finding a personal clothing style is not always easy. 4) Clothing should express who you are.
