Retail value comparisons included for motivational purposes. Few things are more thrilling than the massive cost differential between new and gently-worn, IMHO.
The below signature should be read with the same pace and intonation as “X-O-X-O, Gossip Girl” – a phrase that’s been stuck in my head like a bad one hit wonder since Monday night. Sidebar: Do the writers on Gossip Girl have a cliche quotient to meet for each scene? The dialogue is a train wreck, and really pretty people make it that much easier to stare at the carnage. Not that I’m complaining. I mean, I’m still watching. Maybe next time we’ll categorize the dresses as ‘Blair’ or ‘Serena’ a la Anna Sui’s Target line. But I digress.
