Where are you buying your non-boring, fun clothes? Why are the clothes so BORING?

Everywhere I look at standard retail, it's beige, stripes, all-black. You used to be able to go to standard American retailers (Gap, Old Navy, J Crew, TJ Maxx, mall brands, etc.) and find fun, colorful, patterned, sequined, embroidered, studded, beaded clothes. The neutrals were there if you wanted them, but it wasn't ALL neutrals.

I was looking at photos of myself in my 20s, and I miss that wardrobe and the options I had. There were patterned peasant tops, "going out" tops with sequins on the neck, fun-patterned summer dresses, even work/corporate tops with flowers or ruffles sewn in.

Where are you getting your non-boring clothes? Where do you go when you need to FEEL something?
