I'm lovin' the Costume Shoppe. Once upon a time, they would've been top of mind at Halloween. Now, they're top of mind whenever I'm thinking a costume or accessory would be wise.
Take last Friday, for instance. We were running a photo booth at Lucha VaVoom and I thought it'd be cute to have a touch of something burlesque-ish for us gals workin' the booth to wear. The Costume Shoppe had to have something... and sure enough, I found the cutest little mini-top hats for each of us to pin in our hair. They were perfect!
Besides having an array of accessories and costumes for sale, they've got a back room full of costumes to rent as well. It can get a little pricey, but you'll come out looking better than anything you could've made at home (unless you have a seamstress on hand), spend a fraction of the time coming up with it and have a place to take it when it's all said and done.
You'll also be hard pressed to find more helpful staff. These ladies have been around the shop awhile and know what they're talking about. They also know their stock. They found me like half a dozen different looking hats in but a few minutes!
