HHHMMMM!!!!????

Do you ever run across things that just stop you in your tracks? Remember how Arsenio Hall (you know you used to watch Arsenio. I remember staying up late at night talking to my high school sweetheart on the down low - ‘cause my mama thought I was sleep – and watching Arsenio) used to always say “things that make you go HHHMMMM! There was even an entire song about it - C+C Music Factory (I know you remember them too). Anyways, the other day Heather Locklear and I made a quick trip to The Sal Val (Salvation Army) to check for any deals. The Sal Val is actually where Target sends their samples, so it is all Target merchandise for a fairly inexpensive price. So, things are going smoothly, I’ve picked up a dress for myself and some tee’s for “the son” when I am struck with my HHHHHMMMMM or better stated “WTH” moment. On the rack before me I spied this dress….

Again my low pixel camera (phone) does not give a complete representation of the dress. Let me explain…its purple crushed velvet, longed sleeved, empire waist, with 3 rose shaped with green leaf crushed velvet appliqués. You follow? The dress itself, while pretty bad could work for someone. To each his/her own. We all have our individual styles. What stopped me was the price. Most clothing items at the Sal Val are about $4. The dress I picked out for myself was $7. The tag on this dress read $20. WTH! Either I’m missing the next fashion “Do” or the person doing the pricing in the back had a momentary brain lapse. So be on the lookout for the Fall Fashion Trend – purple crushed velvet.
