Does the Devil Really Wear Prada?

Last week while I was on my blog break, I watched one of my all-time favorite movies, The Devil Wears Prada.

Don’t ya just LOVE that film?

Anyway…watching it again reminded me of just how NOT fashion conscious I am.

I mean, I think I always look well-dressed and put-together, but I can’t say that what I’m wear is necessarily IN the current fashion.

I don’t follow trends, nor do I own anything with a designer label.

Unless of course, you want to call the Gap a designer label.

My own personal fashion for dressing up, is wear something SIMPLE and BLACK, because anything simple and black, fits into any situation and always remains classic.

I’m very lazy when it comes to my clothes. I don’t want to think about anything. I just want to put it on and go.

And you should see the way I shop!?!

I never go out shopping for a complete seasonal wardrobe. I shop in pieces. I buy a few dress shirts one day, and then maybe a pair of black dress slacks, a month or two later. And then six months down the road, I’ll buy a tie or a belt. I’m not one who will spot something in a store and says, “OMG…I have to HAVE that!”

Also…I’m a bargain shopper.

I refuse to take out a home equity loan to buy clothes.

I know everyone says that buying high-quality is better than buying lower-quality, but I beg to differ. I’ve bought some very inexpensive pieces of clothing, that have lasted me an eternity. And I know of many people who always insist on buying high-quality, and then complain that the buttons fell off and the threads pulled out, the first time they wore it to their daughters divorce hearing.

I’m sorry, to me, there’s no such thing as high-quality anymore.

Quality has gone to shit.

Amen!

Now…getting back to Does the Devil Really Wear Prada?

I don’t think so.

And I’ll tell you why…

…you see, my grandmother use to always call me her Little Devil.

And this little devil only wears…Payless.

Wishing you a devilish weekend, everyone!
