You look cheap - but in a good way
MANILA, Philippines - If Shirley Bassey’s Big Spender plays internally in your brain each time you enter a store, it might be time to talk to a therapist — or at least update your iTunes purchases to a more timely shopping soundtrack.
Whatever the case may be, shopping retail rates might not be the answer.
Casing out end-of-season sales, looking for bargains online are just the beginning.
Dorothy Perkins kindly opened their sale closets to us, delivering fresh- off-the-rack garments at slashed prices. Beginning today until the end of the month, all Dorothy Perkins stores will be debuting decadent clothes racks packed to the rafters with that holy trinity of shopping: New Cheap Stuff.
Highlights of the sale include: ’50s sundresses with cinched waists (in a kitschy micro floral, from P2,795 to P1,397.50 and an electric petal-print belted number, from P3,195 to P1,597.50) and tie-front denim shirts in the softest chambray (from P2,095 to P1,047.50), best worn with wildly-patterned trousers à la Dries van Noten or cropped high-waist pants with a platform maryjane like a retro housewife — or Beyonce in the Dolce & Gabbana-costumed Why Don’t You Love Me video.
There’s plenty to love here, especially if — like most of us — that love comes with a conditional affection founded solely on lower price points.
