As spontaneous as you like to tell people you are, some things in your life are predictable and damn near dull. Like your morning coffee, for example: one sugar, no cream, and all types of boring. And your Saturday-afternoon ritual at the mall, bouncing from store to unimpressive store. But today your Saturday shopping routine can get a much-needed makeover with a dose of Fashionably Conscious, the ultimate charity sales event. Benefiting Coconut Grove Cares, the fundraiser will turn Dot Fifty-One Gallery into the department store of your dreams, selling discounted designer fashions donated from the closets of socialites and designer collections.

So while you’re scooping up a gently used pair of Chanel pumps for $45, you’ll be pumping up your good karma points, too, for contributing to a great cause. You can expect to find anything from everyday duds to haute couture at such great prices it won’t hurt to restock your closet after you’ve given everything away. The entrance fee is five dollars. Visit www.coconutgrovecares.org for info.
