The Bite:
imageThrift-store threads have you looking more Jerry Garcia than Gisele? Caravan to Common Threads, Boulder's newest upscale consignment store - think Michael Kors knee-high boots, schmancy earrings, and undowdy maternity clothes. (We scored a pair of gently worn Seven jeans for $30). It's also got new stuff from up-and-coming local designers - like Adam Sikorski's playfully printed tees - and you can even redesign stuff you find using onsite sewing machines, and leather and T-shirt presses during in-store classes and private parties. Bonus: If you need to free up closet space, not fill it, CT'll give you 50% of the take. Buying (or remaking) used clothing keeps it from becoming part of the 3.9 million tons of duds Americans toss yearly. Tie-dye for.
Wanna Try: 
Common Threads, 2707 Spruce St. b/t 27th and 28th Sts., Boulder (303-449-5431).

Cocktail Fact

Though he was lead guitarist for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was missing the middle finger on his right hand - the result of a childhood wood-splitting accident.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters buy a pair of used jeans instead of new ones, we'll keep the weight of 44 Jerry Garcias in pesticides outta the environment.
