http://fridayplaydate.com/cheap-chic/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Thu, 17 May 2012 07:43:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 http://fridayplaydate.com/cheap-chic/#comment-47433 Maryann Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:25:00 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/cheap-chic/#comment-47433 I saw this obviously months after it was posted, but still wanted to comment. The economy is worse and our budgeting is getting tighter. I remember when my kids were little and I had phases...married phase and shopping at Macy's..one day sale mind you and loading up on Oshkosh..made in the USA then (circa 1980's) and my divorced phase...poorer than field mice..working 2-3 jobs as an Rn, but we were happy and if I could buy 1 new shirt for my boys for school starting and new shorts (had moved to the south and it was hot hot hot) I was lucky...my daughter had many things and we were able to share and older than her brothers...so yes tough times teach you WHAT is important... AND $1,400 items of clothing are not it. I used to watch that show with Stacy and Clinton on Friday nights. Now, it just gets on my nerves. Sorry, but put a show on where you are shopping at Target and show us how to dress ourselves from there. THAT is the real world Stacey and Clinton. I used to splurge on Vera Bradley...now I think WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING OR NOT THINKING...all the nurses on my floor did it....ugh! what a waste! Now, I save every penny with my new husband retired from the fire dept and going back to school... With this economy and the uncertainty, we just hold on for our 6 kids and 2 grandkids. God Bless everyone. I saw this obviously months after it was posted, but still wanted to comment. The economy is worse and our budgeting is getting tighter.
