Maybe I've been watching too many episodes of "The Real Housewives" lately and I'm seeing things through breast implanted glasses.....but as I cruised through Nordstrom's the other day, (on my way to Aveda) I looked over the women's spring clothing options and decided that it was all cougar clothing.
JennaVickyGretchenLauri-ish babydoll tops abound, paired with jeans, over-sized and over-priced ($400) bags, and bug-eyed sunglasses. The only things missing were the stripper platform sandals. Short jackets with youthful (sez the Nordstrom buyer to his/her boss) styling that your daughters would say are lame, but a cougar would call fun.
Browsing the sale shoe racks (for The Grrrl, not me) I see the Coach high-top sneakers that she wanted this past winter. The sale price: $87. Reduced from $150. Really? $100 (with our 10% sales tax) for brown, fluffy, fake fur-lined high-tops to wear in the spring and summer?
Recession my ass.
Don't even get me started on how food producers have maintained or raised prices and shrunk their products....
I can now hold 2 "large" containers of Moose Tracks ice cream in 1 hand.
I wonder how many containers of the new Moose Tracks ice cream would fit into a cougar top?

Amen sista! My problem- I am not old enough to be a cougar, but I am supposed to dress like one??
ReplyDeleteI almost bought the Coach high tops at Von Maur the other day but decided $48 was too much to spend on them with the 9.5% tax.
See, The Girl and I have things in common- I am too young to dress like a cougar (and so are you!)!
