Clothes

Now that I'm working two jobs (three this weekend: dog sitting) I am making more money; money that I decided long ago would go towards bills. But there's another idea in the back of my mind. I want to spend all of that money on clothes. I'll go shopping every once in awhile, but not to buy large quantities of clothes, just a top or a dress or something. One item, max!

There are so many fun things out there, though. I can't get my mind off of them. What is with women and clothes? I never used to be this way, but I've become excited about fashion and keeping up with the styles of the seasons and the changing looks. I follow the celebrity styles and only wish I could pay for the designer clothes that they're all paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for. Just yesterday I was checking out Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's line, The Row. I was searching through the shirts and came across this cute one:

After thinking about how cute this would look on, I glanced over at the price, thinking that this thin piece of fabric couldn't be too pricey. Here's what I found:

Yes, you are reading it correctly. $275. For a t-shirt. Two-hundred and seventy-five dollars..

So, I shall be searching elsewhere.

A lot of the websites where I look for fashion tips have areas where you can "get the look for less". When they say "less" they mean over $100. Why are clothes so expensive? How am I supposed to keep up with fashion if I can't afford to buy anything fashionable?
