Hollywood Mirror: Eclectic

While it doesn’t have to be Halloween to enjoy a stroll through this Lakeview gem, at least you’ll finally have a use for some of its kitschy merchandise. Straightforward, seasonal items like spooky masks, crazy wigs, and cliché Halloween costumes speak for themselves — but it’s the regular goods that provide the best outfit inspiration. Sort through the racks of vintage and consignment dresses, shirts, and pants and let your imagination run wild. We’re pretty sure you’ll find the perfect pieces to put together that winning Carrie costume — faux blood included.

Hollywood Mirror, 812 West Belmont Avenue (between Halsted and Dayton streets); 773-404-2044.
