Spring is in the air, and it's time to update your wardrobe with some fun, spring accessories. And I've got the perfect, very cheap, place to do it: Clark Street, between Wilson and Sunnyside in Chicago. It's an entire block of stores that sell mostly accessories at very reasonable prices (think at least half what you'd spend at most other stores). You can find pashmina shawls in just about every color (and some prints) imaginable for $4 - $5; scarves; jewelry; purses; hair accessories; hats; pins and more. I heard about this place a few years ago and finally went this weekend. I sure wish I would've gone sooner! It's also a great place to pick up birthday gifts or treat bag goodies for your daughters' birthday parties. I didn't see much for men or boys, but I only made it into 4 out of the 10 or so stores on one side of the street - never made it to the other side. Good reason to go back!!!
If you're looking for something to do with your kids this week, we've got some suggestions below for you.
Save the date!
