January: the winter wasteland of shopping. Too early for spring; too late for holiday discounts. Bleh.
One bright spot on the horizon: Urban Chic’s winter sample sale. The Bethesda (7126 Bethesda Lane) and Annapolis (1915 Towne Centre Blvd.) locations of the carefully edited -- but still plenty trendy -- boutique are dishing up items for up to 75 percent off.
You've got from Friday, Jan. 14 through Sun., Jan. 16 at 5 p.m. to save on designers such as Shoshanna, Joie and Seven For All Mankind.
All weekend, the shops are giving an additional 30 percent off of all sample sale pieces. Early bird shoppers from 10 a.m. until noon on Friday will get an additional 50 percent off all sample sale merch.
