Worried you've fallen into a summertime Madewell rut? Rediscover your far-out fashion mojo at the grand opening of Urban Renewal inside the Harvard Square Urban Outfitters, happening tomorrow from 4pm to 9pm.

UO's capsule collection features one-of-a-kind designs whipped up in Philadelphia using both vintage and deadstock materials. A quick perusal of the current online offerings reveals a quirky blend of cropped blouses, kimono jackets, and repurposed babydoll dresses—sort of Vanessa Hudgens crossed with Donna Martin.

Tomorrow night's opening also includes a pop-up shop featuring several local designers. Consider your weekend outfit secured early.—Meaghan Agnew
