Because they operate on a different retail model (they’re basically an outlet; a sort of clearing house for some of the top boutiques in the country), Betty Lin in Pioneer Square marks down their end-of-season merchandise on a slightly different schedule.

So while shops all over the city are winding down their sales (public service announcement: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is over on August 1), this little medley of designer dresses and favorite-label separates is just beginning.

Markdowns at Betty Lin went live today, Thursday July 28; they’ll be available as long as the past-season merchandise is.
