Come What Mei

Mei-Mei’s Fashionette Opens

Thanks to yesterday’s brunchtime margarita and the lapse in financial wisdom it caused, you are now the proud owner of a new pair of gladiator sandals. (Good thing you get paid this week.)

And you’re craving an outfit to match. (Apparently, sound judgment isn’t fully restored by sobriety.)

So take your broke ass to Mei-Mei’s Fashionette, the West Village’s latest contemporary and vintage clothing boutique. “Designers. Indies. One-of-a-kinds.” is the pink and silver shop’s motto, and prices are as high and low as your drunken day.

There are plenty of debt-inducing items like Sass & Bide separates and snazzy cocktail attire. But there are also tons of budget-friendly finds, including knit-jersey dresses, screen-printed tees, and old-school ’80s jackets.

On a super-tight shoestring? Shop the affordable handmade threads by unknown designers from around the globe.

Just steer clear of Mi Cocina beforehand.

Mei-Mei’s Fashionette, 3699 McKinney Avenue, suite 103a (214-219-4300).
