Editorial Review for Aaardvark's Odd Ark – by Stephanie Scherer
In Short
Featuring everything from T-shirts to wedding gowns, this grab-bag shop specializes in offbeat, appealing duds that go against the store's otherwise minimalist approach. A warning on the door ("No Shopping Bags, No Strollers") instantly alerts you to who's in charge. Check out the old-fashioned swimsuits, two-tone wigs, security guard uniforms, tunics and trashy baby-doll nightgowns that could pass for something out of Courtney Love's old wardrobe.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasFashion slaves beware: a lack of designer labels and a wealth of worse-for-the-wear merchandise might disappoint.

Now let me be fair and start off by saying, I used to shop here quite frequently and never had any serious complaints. However, on my last few trips to LA I have attempted to have a good experience shopping here but I have to finally say I will NEVER be going again. First of all, my boyfriend accidently left his wallet there last month (his fault, I know) but what infuriated us was the fact that an employee had found the wallet which had all of our vacation money in it and lied about it to his face! This was also despite the fact other employees later told us it had been found, but never returned to us! This was the last straw for us. Before everything else was tolerable because of their super low prices. But don't be fooled by their cheapness, you'll get a better deal at the Salvation Army and at least their clothes will be in better condition. If you still feel up to digging through, be sure you inspect everything before you buy it! My last time shopping here I got home only to discover all my dresses had funky water stains on them that smelled moldy even after a trip to the dry cleaners!! To top it off, only two had working zippers and the rest had various tears, stains and holes. No wonder they have a no returns no refunds policy!
Pros: Really really cheap clothes
Cons: Damaged clothing/funky smells, Rude staff!! Have to hunt thru too much stuff

I love coming here...its so much fun! It's like you go back in time, but always manage to find something cool to wear now....I have found some pretty cool things that dont look too old or wasted....and the prices are reasonable..u know how sometimes you go into a vintage/thrift store and you might as well buy something new cuz of the high price? not here, prices are good and clothing is awesome..
Pros: cheap prices
Cons: find larger selection
