Belts That Shimmer
My best friend Stacey is your stereotypical shopaholic. Her closets – yes, she has two – are filled, floor to ceiling, with a wardrobe that dates back to the beginning of her obsession: sophomore year. She uses her coat closet to store nothing but fashion magazines – I swear there are more than 200 copies in there. And all the while, she is constantly on the lookout for the latest fashion trend or bargain sale to renew look.
I find it difficult to tolerate her antics at the shopping mall because Lord knows how long she can spend in the fitting room of just one department store. However, against my better judgment I accompanied her to an outlet mall last weekend. The days started off slow, that is, until we discovered a store we’d never heard of before; they specialized in rhinestone belts. I became completely overjoyed with our newfound fashion source; I even purchased a purple belt for myself. Stacey bought seven.
