F.I.G. ’Em

F.I.G. Finale

Whoa there, cheapskate. No need to steal that many packets of sugar in one restaurant visit.

But we know you love to pinch pennies.

Which is why we’re telling you about F.I.G. Finale. The Fashion Industry Gallery is opening its doors today and tomorrow to twenty stores (like Forty Five Ten, Tootsies, and Sebastian’s Closet) so they can join together for a two-day blowout sale. It’s a gigantic cash-only bonanza designed to help local merchants get rid of their fall clothes, shoes, and accessories during this unusually warm winter.

Shop racks filled with everything from the high-end (Stella McCartney) to the reasonably priced (Kenneth Cole). There’s even a men’s section for designers like Dsquared, Plan D, and Oliver Spencer.

And because everything’s marked down 75 percent, you’ll be bragging about these deals all over town.

Lucky for you, talk is cheap.

Fashion Industry Gallery, 1807 Ross Avenue, Downtown (214-748-4344 ext. 23 or fashionindustrygallery.com). Sale is Friday, noon-7 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is $10.
