Ad Hoc (CLOSED)

Racks of affordable ($50 or less), trendy clothing and accessories fill this West Town shop, opened by Kat Heil, a former buyer with a corporate background at H&M. Shoppers can score pieces from popular budget-friendly brands—Sanctuary, Level 99 Jeans, Cheerleader—as well as smaller, American-made labels like Mono B, Line and Dot, and Timing. Local designer Caroline Borucki’s hand-sewn pieces using vintage fabric are particularly eye-catching. Heil only stocks a few sizes of each piece, so grab them while they’re hot. Handmade jewelry, books, candles and accessories are also for sale.
