But think what that really means in terms of your lifestyle changes and thinking. I think it's pretty awesome actually. You'll never pay $500 for Jimmy Choos.<BR/><BR/>I love shopping for new clothes, but I think that raggamuffin swirly look a few years ago really turned me off on the mall. I've always preferred something sleek and chic. Once that went out of fashion, the mall just lost all of its appeal. If I wanted to wear a patchwork quilt, I'd take my coverlet and recut it into a dress.<BR/><BR/>LPKitten, you absolutely rock! This kind of thinking is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Good for you and your pocketbook!mapgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141234159609900257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12898829.post-1149031409374927262006-05-30T16:23:00.000-07:002006-05-30T16:23:00.000-07:00Hello Debt Defier!

I've spent so much on clothes there recently, but the quality is good and the prices are great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12898829.post-1148578514817697332006-05-25T10:35:00.000-07:002006-05-25T10:35:00.000-07:00My goodness.

I don't ever recall seeing prices that high for things (well, perhaps at the Troy malls in Michigan) but where was this shopping? Your profile says 'CA' - I guess California is more expensive for many things. Or my shopping experiences aren't normal (probably true!). I rarely hit the malls anymore myself, just because there's very little there that I need or want.Michael Kimsalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888097375768951607noreply@blogger.com
