Highlights of Sunday's trip to Dandelion:
- A sequined blazer befitting a 70's gameshow host
- A rabbit fur coat straight out of Siberia
- Horribly awesome 80's prom dresses
- Pants in every conceivable color of pleather
- A sweater vest festooned with images of playful cats
That being said, while this stuff was undoubtedly fun to dig through, could anyone actually wear it "for real"? This place is great with Halloween right around the corner, but what about the other eleven months of the year? Most pieces seemed far too extreme for the average person to pull off.
On the plus side, however, the woman working behind the counter didn't seem to have any issues with us documenting our more outrageous finds with our camera phones. While we wouldn't be able to wear most items on the street, at least we could have fun with them in the store.
