YOUNG, FABULOUS, AND BROKE

My fashion dream is to have a closet that rivals those featured on MTV's Cribs. I want it to be filled to the brim with high-end, dynamic pieces and cheap 'n chic trendy items. I ask you how I am supposed to achieve this dream while balancing student loan debt, the ridiculous cost of living in Los Angeles, and a job that I'm extremely grateful for, but keeps me 1 1/2 paychecks away from skid row? Being Young, fabulous, and broke is no easy feat. Perhaps one day I will get around to reading Suze Orman's book on the subject. I find it amusing that there is a clothing line of the same name (Young,Fabulous, and Broke) who can't even hold up their end of the bargain. No Y.F.B person I know wants to pay $88 for a T-shirt.

Thus begins my love/hate relationship with fashion. Shopping is one of my favorite past times and my job requires that I keep up with the latest trends. Being surrounded by overpriced wares touted as "must haves" (Yes, I am aware that I am guilty of posting such items) can make you feel like everything in your closet is one minute away from becoming obsolete. On the other hand the fashionista in me can't help but to become excited about all of the endless possibilities -aspirational or otherwise-that shopping presents.

I look forward to the day when I can go shopping and not have to be bothered with silly things like price tags! :) Even if I had the means to do so, I can't say that I would be all that enthused about spending thousands on any single clothing purchase. Maybe, what I meant to say was that I'll be glad to see the day when purchasing something that I "must have" won't involve me putting my rent money in jeopardy.

Is there any way you can remove me from that service?

Thanks a lot!
