I believe it. I looked at the designer stuff at Von Maur yesterday. Sheer t-shirts embellished with sequins, lots of crop pants with wide legs, and those short "shrug" sweaters which look horrible on anyone who isn't flat-chested.

I guess the clothing companies are going to have to do without our money this year.

And another thing...why can't you find a cocktail dress with SLEEVES? Grrrr.

Hehe!! Sarah wants fish. She's buying. I don't have to cook.

Not only that, Greg took the day off and he will be going with her.

That's what they're called -- shrugs. I couldn't remember. shrug

I've had that problem too with finding cocktail dresses with sleeves. Thank goodness when my stepson got married 4 years ago (or yikes, maybe it was 5), I was able to find a floor length dress with a bolero jacket.

We have a neighbor who makes clothing and has her own store. I might have her price out some simple A-line dresses with cap sleeves and a boatneck, nothing fancy. I'm desperate.
