Clothes Minded

Ideal for shoppers seeking reasonably priced wardrobe basics, this small clothing boutique sells what owner Sandy Horwitz calls "every day wear for the urban girl." Behind the all-glass storefront in Bucktown, the bright, airy shop features well-organized displays of Michael Stars tees, Neesh sweaters, Sanctuary blazers, and other pieces by mid-priced lines like Three Dots and IT Jeans. Trendy, cutting-edge designs are balanced by more classic pieces, and a wide range of prices makes it easy to find viable purchases. Clothes Minded also carries a limited selection of jewelry, purses, cosmetic cases, and fragrances.
