Store Review: The Wardrobe
By Jasmine Cooper
Have you ever been in love with a store? Well that is exactly how I feel about The Wardrobe. I am head over heels in love with The Wardrobe's low price, friendly environment, and purpose. Not to mention, I always find amazing pieces to add to my wardrobe. I love to thrift shop, so when a friend of mine told me about The Wardrobe I just had to check it out. Keep reading to learn more about my experiences and then head on over to The Wardrobe! Here is the address:
715 Park Avenue
Columbia, Missouri 65201
Low Prices:
Nearly everything inside of The Wardrobe costs $1 except for specialty items. Sometimes they even have $0.25 sales at the end of a season. That's when nearly everything in the store only costs a quarter, as if the prices aren't already low enough!
Friendly Environment:
Every "worker" that you will see inside The Wardrobe is a volunteer. The volunteers work hard to keep the store clean, organized, and calm. They are always eager to help and super sweet. I feel right at home when I am shopping at The Wardrobe! It's not everyday that you walk into a retailer and find staff willing to help you find whatever you need.
Purpose:
Proceeds from The Wardrobe go straight towards children in the Columbia, Missouri area. I find this to be beautiful. The Wardrobe is run by volunteers and all of the proceeds are donated to those in need. Wow! During the week The Wardrobe is closed to the public to help those who need extra help in the Columbia,Missouri community. It truly warms my heart when I think about the goodness in the hearts of those who serve at The Wardrobe.
Final Thoughts:
For anyone who feels as though there is not hope in the world, just look for it in the little things around you. Places like The Wardrobe are beckons of light.
I have so many pieces from The Wardrobe that it is a little obsessive, but I cannot stop shopping there! The Wardrobe is amazing and the purpose behind the store is beautiful. You can check out some of my last Wardrobe haul here.
Make sure you bring cash.

Ps. I make nearly all of my TFS beanies using old sweaters from the wardrobe. Check them out here.

Ciclely Haire
I keep up
with a lot of fashion bloggers and Youtubers. My favorites are Shirley B. Eniang, Patricia Bright, Jenn Im and Ariel Sansaricq. I also read
magazines like Nylon, Essence and Elle. I check a few fashion websites pretty frequently, including
Styleblazer and Refinery29. And then there are plenty of celebrities whose
style I love, like Beyonce, Demi Lovato, Jessica Alba, Kourtney Kardashian, and
Rihanna (sometimes).
If you could trade wardrobes with any
person who would it be? Why?
I would
live in Olivia Pope’s (Scandal)
wardrobe Monday through Friday. That woman has given a whole new meaning to the
term, power suit. And her white trenchcoat is iconic. But then, I would love to
rock Solange’s wardrobe on the weekends. It’s effortless and sexy, but still
fun and edgy too.
Name your top 3 places to shop.
I always
describe Forever 21 as that on-again-off-again boyfriend. Even when you try to
venture out, you know Forever 21 is going to have something you need. Target is also a favorite of mine. They keep
up with fashion trends, the prices aren’t outlandish, and they always have my
size. I guess my third favorite place to shop would be thrift stores. I know
that’s such a cliché, but there are days when my entire outfit is from Goodwill
or Savers or Maude V.
Do you prefer group shopping or solo
missions? Why?
It depends
on what I’m shopping for and where I’m shopping. Most of the time, I just go in
on a solo mission to buy jeans or shoes or something. But if I’m at a thrift
store or Topshop or somewhere, where the things you pick up can go either way,
it helps to have a fresh pair of eyes to say, “That palm tree-printed top is
just too weird,” or “That sweatshirt is not worth $50.”
