I'd rather cut off a toe than go clothes shopping so these were all purchased in one day and were simply the closest within reach that fit me. I wouldn't have a clue what brand they are. So my favourite designer is whoever designed my singlet. I doubt this helped in any way.

It helped me, in the way that I love how someone else doesn't give two flying effs about designers...

Whether you simply don't care, or can't afford it, I don't mind either way.

However, I do admit to much vanity, so I really, really, try to get stuff at Ross that looks good on me.

And, lo and behold, it is possible. I do look good in my clothes, wonder of wonders.

I know - I go to the outlet malls around here to buy stuff. I usually wait until the end of the year sales, etc. Every now and then, I go a little crazy like with the fab. coat I bought in Dec. when my 10 year old other car coat died

But, that is failrly rare and it is Marshalls for me

Ralph Lauren . . . at Marshalls or TJ Maxx.

It's always nice when you can have some good pieces. I always have this weird feeling, when I go to interviews, that the practiced eye may be able to tell I'm wearing a cheap jacket...

But even ross gets some good designers for cheap, and Marshalls, etc. I got my new interview jacket at ross for 16 something, but they couldn't find the pricetag, and didn't care. I have the feeling it was a more expensive one.

Looks sharp! hehehehe.

I have gotten things there for like $10 that cost hundreds at Macy's etc. Better in my pocket than their's

I wear whatever is comfortable and affordable. In fact, I just bought a cool shirt for 3 bucks and I love the sucker!

Sweeeeet. And especially my pockets which don't even contain what Macy's would ask!

They can look, but it aint there...

You couldn't keep my girlfriend out of the Coach store w/ a brick wall! And might I add, that because of this, my bank account has never been thinner

She can shop at Coach all she wants when Fleetwood Mac/ La Nicks retire

The point is to look like a million bucks without having spent it

I have the worst luck with Marshalls and the like. I never get there when things are first put out so i'm left with the crap sizes that don't fit me. It's hit or miss there.

Ah, my Cancer boyfriend used to by me bunches of stuff, too.

Very sweet, sir. Just don't let the girl take advantage. Oh, and on a side note? Coach = soooo overrated.

....I work out to Paula Abdul's Video.

Her ab section is torture....and I don't do very many. Within a week I had a line down my stomach.

She does a lot more than straight up crunches. You twist and turn and use your arms in different ways. It rawks....for me, at least.

Really? Wow. And I thought it was the drugs keeping her in shape lately.

I wish I could get a line down my stomach.

But alas, I will always have a lid on the cooler that contains my 6 pack (I think it's there, but I can't be sure since I've never seen it.)

Well, this video was made in the early 90s. I'm sure the only time she sits up now is to snort a line.

Before this last 15 pounds I packed on I was actually getting a line down my stomach - I was SO stoked....

Now, however.....not so much now

I'm working out again though....perhaps I should try Paula Abdul's ab workout
