Fellow Juice staffer Ameena and I hit Valley Junction for the ultimate costume challenge: find 15 costumes under $50 each, all in one afternoon.
First stop: Atomic Garage. We strolled in and never came out. (Well, except to take these fun photos of course!) From acid-washed jeans and Mad Men-inspired dresses to go-go boots in every size, Atomic Garage is everything you wished your closet would be. We turned one-of-a-kind vintage pieces into DIY Halloween costumes.
Check it.
