Jodi Arnold Sample Sale

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Left: “O’Keeffe” floral dress with belt (retail: $394; Beta Boutique: $125). Right: pocket tee (retail: $90; Beta Boutique: $40) and the “Charming” floral shorts (retail: $196; Beta Boutique: $50)

This Saturday and Sunday, Beta Boutique will present the Jodi Arnold Spring 2010 sample sale. The weekend-only pop-up shop will offer up to 80% off retail prices in the heart of Bucktown, across the street from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Jodi Arnold, whom you may remember from MINT and her recent collection for The Limited, is a New York-based designer known for her ability to create fresh, fashion-forward clothes without pretension. Her spring collection, titled “Mash-Up,” is no different. Constructed from quality fabrics like silk crepe and satin georgette, the line offers a variety of sensible prints, clean cuts, and summer-ready hues. Stripes, abstract florals (inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe), realistic florals, and neutrals are the mainstays. Created for the “multi-layered” woman, it’s moderately priced ($100-$500) and blends seamlessly with any wardrobe. This is one sample sale not to be missed.

The Jodi Arnold sample sale is located at 1725 N Damen Avenue. Doors are open Saturday from 10am to 6pm and on Sunday from 12pm to 5pm.
