Just a brief onslaught of materialism...

I have been stalking the clearance racks at Marshall Fields the past few weeks holding out for that super sweet score. Okay, I haven't been holding out, I've been loading up. Now I'm not really materialistic, but I do enjoy nice clothes and I need to dress kind of "lawyerly" sometimes. I can justify the situation by saying that I need these clothes due to my future career and I'm doing myself a great favor by loading up while the prices are marked down. There is nothing so sweet as finding that perfect steal. My best score was an Anne Klein blouse marked down to $20 (originally $200. ) I also bought a sweet Anne Klein suit marked down to $70 (was originally $360) and a Marc Jacobs skirt for 7 bucks. The unfortunate thing is that I have to walk through Marshall Fields every time I go back and forth from work to school. It's getting trickier and trickier to sneak these finds into the house.

Personally, I think that purchasing things to wear so that one feels "prepared" for the next cycle in life is a wise thing. You will need these clothes, and heck for the prices you are getting them for it's such a bargin that you shouldn't pass it up. Who knows if the deals will be that good when you are paying off your student loans and don't have a cent to spare.
