Expensive isn't ALWAYS better
Last night my boo and I went to dinner. I went running up and down Kings Highway ablazed in a fever that I had from the previous night. (Yes I made up ablazed but so what kill me.) I was shopping on a tight, tight budget, aka $100 for 2 outfits and I needed something that was HOT. I saw a LaRok blazer at Loehmanns on 7th avenue in the city but it was $60 which is good price for LaRok not good for my pockets. So I went over to Fox's (discount store just like Loehmanns) Coney Island avenue and Avenue p for some shoes. I was quite successful. Bagged up a pair of Via Spigas for $49,(10 dollars of all boots) and then ran to a couple of Russian Boutiques on Kings Highway (overpriced) before I ended up at Rainbow looking for a dress I spotted a few weeks back. No luck. Last Resort? Conway. Don't judge me. I love Conways. Just like in any department store you have to know what's quality and what's not. The result? 2 dresses for UNDER $24. BEAT ME. I dare you.
The best part of this story comes when I went to Fishtail and the hostess complimented me on my dress and asked me where I got mines from. I told her Conway $14 bucks and the heffa almost flipped her lid. $70 on an express dress. SUCCCCKKKKKAAAAAAAAA!
I'm not advocating you guys go buy knock off stuff and religiously shop and cheap stores, use your judgement! But for a last minute fix, hesitate to dig in your pocket for once. Especially if you know you'd probably never wear that thing again! (At Least not this year!)
FYI Rainbows has a crap load of rompers for 19.99 hop on it!
Anywho I'm going to give you the Recessionista report. Expensive isn't always better!
