Who among us hasn’t had the depressing experience of trying to find the perfect outfit? Not only is it nigh-impossible to find beautiful clothing if you’re bigger than a size 8, but those damn fluorescent-lit fitting rooms will kill anyone’s optimism. For an experience of benevolence rather than judgment, visit the truly unusual women’s boutique, Devi’s Outback in the Temple of Venus, open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. Not only does the communal dressing room have a sign mounted prominently to remind you that you are indeed a goddess — BU2FULL — but you might just meet a future lifelong friend as you browse among CEO (Chief Executive Oracle) Devi’s many selections: Designer jackets, pants, skirts, and blouses in painted silk and rayon, printed velvet silk; tops, coats, and skirts in Devi’s Timeless Tapestry fabric, a knit jacquard she designed that feels like cotton cashmere; and hemp jackets and purses from Thailand, to name just a few. Oh, and Outback also stocks home products with a spiritual bent: Kwan Yin and Buddha statues, sitting pillows, and altar tables. A visit here might just get you that much closer to nirvana.
