Does anyone remember that website, Hot or Not? Actually, it still exists but there was a moment years back that it was the go-to procrastination website du jour. It was as simple as its name.

There are now many style networking sites that offer a similar forum for voting on outfits and fashion choices. One of those, Fashism, is now hosting a live and in-person event at the very lovely Inven.Tory boutique this Saturday from 12-6 pm. Here’s the deal: you come in, try on some goods, pose for pictures and then the site’s staff (and online viewers) will vote on who looks best. Winners get a gift certificate for the store.

Sounds like an easy way to score some free goods simply by going shopping and working your personal style skills. (And yes, that’s a very old Gwyneth pic. It happens to be one of my all-time faves and in my opinion, very personal style appropriate.)

Um, when that’s the first thing we read on an invitation, it basically need not say more.

We are so in.

Inven.tory, the people that bring you the overstock from young emerging designer at prices well within your recession budget, is hosting an 80%20 pop up shop through the 28th of June.

If you go by tonight from 6-8 you’ll get to feast on yummy treats and drinks from our neighborhood fave, La Esquina.

Location:
Inven.tory
237 Lafayette (at Spring st)

See you there!
