Boutique Bargains

A group of independently owned Lincoln Park boutiques—15 stores in all—are in cahoots this week, teaming up for one giant warehouse sale. More than a thousand pieces will be slashed by at least 40 percent and featured at the one-day sale, taking place on Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m. at Thread Lounge (918 W. Armitage Ave., 773-281-0011, threadlounge.com).

Here’s a glimpse at the sale items you’ll find on Thursday: a Parker silk blouse from Shop 857 (normally $200, now $80); a Three Stones wool coat from Moi Boutique (normally $298, now $149); an Ark & Co. sequin dress from Eclectic Chique (normally $140, now $50); and a Jack Carla dress from Piper Boutique (normally $69.50, now $28.50). Guests will be treated to cocktails and small bites, and raffle will be held every half hour with giveaways from local restaurants, spas, and workout studios.
