fabulosity!

Molly says:
Sometimes, the best way to avoid overspending is to cut out the crap. That's especially true when it comes to clothes. Don't buy stuff that's overly-trendy because it'll be 'out' in no time. Don't buy stuff you won't wear even if it's on clearance. My husband taught me that one, surprisingly enough. Early in our relationship, I came home from Costco with a gigantic package of celery, more celery than two people could eat in a year, unless we were the ants-on-a-log type, which we're not. He asked me what the hell I was gonna do with all that celery. Well, I don't know, it was just such a good deal, I mean this much celery would cost so much more in a regular grocery store. "Molly," he told me. "It's only a good deal if you use it all."
Sage advice.
If you're out and about in search of sweet deals on clothing, my best piece of advice would be to not buy these:

The Fabulosity (trademarked!) High-Waisted Skinny Jean. Angie and I spotted it at lunch today while sailing through JCPenney to get to the rest of the mall. Here's the backs of these babies:

Betcha want a piece of that action, don't you. It's sights like these that make me think the end is nigh.

$58! Really?

As we were sailing through JCP, I spotted them, came to an abrupt halt, and circled back to show Angie, who instantly lamented she didn't have her camera but then consoled herself with the knowledge she could come back later and document them for posterity because "those aren't sellin' anytime soon."

If only that were true, girlfriend. If only that were true.
