Top Sale this Week

This Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m., 12 of Chicago’s coolest boutiques are throwing a massive warehouse sale at Mazi Dance Studio (1564 N. Damen Ave., mazidancefitness.com) in Wicker Park. Stores such as Trillium, Moon Voyage, and Milk Handmade are clearing out their inventory, which means you’ll score coats and jeans and dresses and silk tees for a fraction of the cost. There’s menswear, too, from Stock Mfg, Penelope’s, and Study Hall. Did somebody say vintage? Some Like Us has your ’30s ballgown and ’60s Chelsea boot needs covered. No admission fee.
