 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a tee made of recycled poly instead of new stuff, we'll keep 140,000 plastic soda bottles out of trash heaps. |
|  |  | | Historians credit the mini skirt and the related mini dress, defining fashions of the 1960s, to designer Mary Quant, who named the style after her favorite car, the Mini. | | |

|  The Bite
Clothing crisis getting in the way of seizing the moment? Prepare for, um, spontaneity, by picking up something cute and practical at Lincoln Park’s Nau boutique (the Oregon-based sustainable clothing company’s sole outpost east of Colorado), celebrating its first anniversary this month. We’ve got our eye on the water- and wind-resistant Chrysalis mini dress with a dramatic collar ruffle and removable sleeves, made entirely from recycled polyester. Visit the sparsely stocked store (think showroom) and buy on-site, or find your size then roll up to a computer to order online for a 10% discount, which helps reduce wasteful shipping to fill shelves. Nau also donates 5% of your sale to your choice of 10 non-profs (including six local orgs). The time is Nau.
