Parallel

I really really like this store! Judging from the prices, I figured that the quality of the clothing would be questionable, but it’s actually pretty good. I’ve bought some leggings, purses, and a few shirts here and they’ve held up quite well.
The sales staff is really friendly, and are usually dressed in clothes that you can buy in the store, so it’s nice to see what some of the stuff looks like on a real person, instead of just on the rack or on a mannequin.
They usually have some type of sale going on all the time, so it’s hard to walk away without buying anything! This is definitely one of my favorite stores in Oak Park Mall.

Forever 21 look out! Parallel gives cheap AND fashionable just as well!
Okay, maybe not as well, but for those women who have an eye for fashion, and can make rags look like millions – this is your store. T-​shirts for $ 5, jackets for $ 30, vests for $ 10, and leggings for $ 8, you can make quite an outfit.
It seemed like a cheap-​o Wet Seal knockoff, but after entering I realized I can make a pretty chic outfit from this stuff. It’s all a matter of mixing and matching these items with your pricier clothes at home, using these as basics to build from. I felt foolish for just spending so much at American Apparel when I could have gotten the same stuff here for a fraction of the price (side note: I will always love you American Apparel, sorry for dissing you).
Point of story, shop here when you just need some fun, cheap clothes to buy. The look is a bit young, but smart, savvy shoppers will find some staples for their closet.
