If I was forced to vacate my home and could take two coveted clothing items, I know precisely the two: my longtime favorite jeans and rad T-shirt purchased at Envy, a women's boutique in the heart of Tacoma's historic and eclectic Proctor District.

Why?

Because they are PERFECT!  - perfect fit, perfect look and perfectly priced.

So, when this boutique throws a party, especially a party for a great cause, ladies ... you just need to go.

How does this sound: fashion, wine, food, giveaways and an auction and raffle with some fab items? Sounds fun, yes? Mark your calendars, because you are in for a treat from our friends at Envy next week.

The boutique is proud to play host to "Envy's Girls Night Out" - a benefit auction and raffle Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sip wine, nosh on yummy eats, shop until you drop, and enjoy Envy's unique items and sweet deals. The best part? One-hundred percent of the auction and raffle proceeds benefit South Sound Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, "The Breast Savers."

As an added incentive, the boutique is offering a free Jazzd purse of Oprah, Today Show and In Style magazine fame with purchases of $50 or more on regularly priced items.

ENVY'S GIRLS NIGHT OUT, 5-8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 12, Envy, 2614 N. Proctor St., Tacoma, facebook.com/envytacoma
