(Pa)toot Your Own Horn

The Bite:
Like talking up your shopping prowess? (Frequency's considered prowess, right?) Tell everyone how you scored some Zutano onesies and swanky April Cornell dresses for the kiddos in your life without selling your firstborn to get 'em at Petite Patoot. Petite-P's got all kinds of upscale children's clothing brands (newborn to teen), and standards are high: Everything's either unworn or good as new. So the Oilily dresses that'll run you $75 ('steada $195) and the playful Monster Republic T-shirts get a healthy markdown – but there's plenty of stuff under $20 too. And buying used clothing keeps us from tossing old stuff into landfills – not bad, if we do say so ourselves.
Wanna Try: 
Petite Patoot, 1238 S. Broadway. Map It (303-665-8161). Monster Republic tee, $26.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters buy a secondhand shirt instead of a new one, we'll keep the weight of 288 trumpets and their carrying cases outta landfills.
