Shopping for clothing can be like finding a needle in a haystack: even when you think you've found what you're looking for, you've actually only found a really shiny piece of hay. Today's Groupon tilts the odds of a successful fashion quest in your favor: for $15, you get $30 worth of women's clothing and handmade accessories at Wallflower Boutique on Pacific Avenue. This Bohemian-chic shop exhibits an eclectic variety of women's apparel, bags, jewelry, and other locally produced and handmade accessories. Just a short jaunt from the UC campus, Wallflower has an extensive selection to suit style-conscious students, from feather earrings for ornithology majors to leather wallets perfect for safely stashing pizza coupons or doctoral theses. Eco-friendly handbags printed with vivid patterns correlate with charming feminine tops. The Wallflower also boasts a collection of locally made artwork for sale that can be proudly displayed on living-room walls or strung together to create a cumbersome necklace.
