This place is great for people that want to dress up from the 50's-70's. I found a lot of good ideas and bought my 70's costume for a party. The prices may seem high but the material isn't the same as buying a hollween costume from this stores, at least when you buy from here your quality is worth every penny. Consider it as I have done and trust me, I've been from goodwill stores to swapmeet and this place is the place for your last stop to search. It was an experience.

I should start by saying that I am a thrift/vintage store junkie. Aaardvark's Odd Ark was quite the recommendation and is an amazing store to peruse. I had to find a costume for my part in "My Fair Lady" and I thought it was going to be tough considering that the period dress is specific, but Aaadvark's had it.

The elaborate COSTUME dresses run from $15 to $30 (and ooh the variety). Other dresses like wedding, prom, and more current dresses run higher. The regular clothes is pretty inexpensive, I saw some t-shirts for $2! The wigs are pricey though :(. It is clean and it doesn't smell like your average thrift store.

*NOTE: Terrible costumer service. Some of the rudest and "I don't have to help you because I'm cool because I work here" attitude.*

  • Pros: Parking is good
  • Cons: The employees are awful

Good place for used clothing or accessories for a Halloween costume. Prices seem a bit high but much cheaper than new clothing. It is right on Colorado Blvd, you can't miss the store.

Aaardvarks ahs a wide selection of vintage clothing, funky, elegant and classical. The store is well organized and well stocked. I do question its cleanliness. The staff are helpful but appear uninterested n the customers. Prices can vary but for the most part are a bit on the high end for being a thrift store.

PROS: Lots of cool clothes

CONS: Prices can be on the high end

This vintage store is really big with a huge selection of clothing from men's vintage suits and ties to vintage mumus for women. It's the perfect place to find a costume or that perfect vintage bowling shirt in navy and white pinstripe.

This store has plenty of random vintage clothes that you can put together for a theme party or halloween. I like how they have wigs, jewelry, and funky hats to add to any outfit. The prices are a little high for thirft store clothes, but they have suck a huge selection that it's worth coming here.
