The Little Black Dress

Every Monday, JC Penney offers new markdowns. It’s worthwhile to check them out, especially considering the store often ships for free with a $25 order. This week, I found some cute Bisou Bisou dresses on clearance. So, if spaghetti straps are your “thing,” give Lace-Trim Dot Print Dress a try. At $29.99, it seems to be the best of the lot.




Heck, while you are at it, check out the whole sale section. Just remember to ask yourself a couple of questions before you finalize the purchase. The ones the little red devil on my shoulder usually asks me are:

Do you need it?
Do you like it?
Is it a good deal?
Will you wear/use it?

I often ignore the first question and try to answer yes to the rest. If you are having doubts whether the dress is a good deal, remember, it cost $69.99 just a day ago. And don't be cynical, please. Banish "it's not how much you save but how much you spend" mantra from your head and indulge in instant gratification. You can always apply for a loan later.
