Our ancestors met their basic needs by hunting bison for food, huddling in blanket forts for warmth, and wearing animal skins to hide their dinosaur tattoos from their moms. Nestle into a selection of nifty new necessities with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of name-brand women’s apparel at Neno's Clothing in Metairie.

The kind staff at Neno's Clothing fashionably girds its guests with a stock of threads from brands such as Buffalo, LTB, and Miss Me. A flowery Gentle Fawn tank top modishly tops off outfits ($35), and a pair of Miss Me jeans covers legs with form-fitting grace, complete with a thick-stitched fleur-de-lis––the international symbol of botany enthusiasts ($98). Light, fluttery garments, such as the 100% silk halter dress ($150) or the ruffled Buffalo scoop-neck dress ($42.50), impart their wearers with stylish, summery flair. In addition to fabric wares, Neno's Clothing spruces up outfits with accessories such as the handmade, glass-enameled copper Saints pendant, which makes for a more elegant, modest neckpiece than a diamond-studded cobra ($90).
