Chicago fashion designer Maria Pinto announced last month that she'd be closing her store and business—her in-store liquidation sale started yesterday and runs through the weekend. Racked National reader Melissa reports:

She's having a sale at her store today through the weekend. Prices are about 50% off. Lots of pants. Few of the shift dresses she's known for. There was a half hour wait at lunch today, only two people in line when I left around 1:00.
