Hot Box Betty (1623 NE 15th) is jumping on the sale bandwagon this month, maing way for the new Spring merchandise with 20% off everything in the store until the end of January. I really think that one of the few benefits of an interminable winter is that there is so much time to wear winter clothes, so that when they go on sale to make way for Spring/Summer, you’ve still got a good three months or so to wear them. Plus, your winter wardrobe ends up kind of needing a second act anyway. I know one of my main pairs of boots this season are starting to look rough, and everyone gets sick of the same three coats, etc. So, anyway, the point is, have at it!
