Here's the Deal

Jasmine Sola Warehouse

Donna Summer can testify: You work hard for the money. You work darn hard to dress well, too. The hardest work of all? Keeping as much cash as you can while looking like you spent a million bucks.

So add this to your arsenal: the little-known, fledgling Jasmine Sola Warehouse Store. Its full-price siblings are all over town, of course, selling vibrant racks of Japan Rags, Basil & Maude, and Le Tigre, among others. But once it all sits unsold for a week or so, stuff gets shipped to the Warehouse — and is usually marked down significantly.

That means at least 50 percent off rotating collections from the likes of Miss Sixty, Citizens of Humanity, and Juicy Couture. Meanwhile, the staff has assembled additional pieces from the low end of the price spectrum.

Choosing among them?

Now that’s the kind of work we like.

Jasmine Sola Warehouse, 965 Commonwealth Avenue, at Pleasant Street (617-562-0004 or jasminesola.com).
