$$$$

Shop Shop Shop, we spent the day at Vaughn Mills Shopping Mall. A delight for some, overwhelming for others. With people planted in every square inch there was lots to see and the crowds were not stifling .. until you hit the food court at high noon. I looked at a few price tags, only to be reminded why I purchase my clothing in Florida.
A pair of shoes would send the average working Joe 2 days of their salary. A new shirt, pants and dress would take a full work week to pay for and that is without the taxes.

I do declare there is some advantage to : 1) being retired 2) Lack of fashion sense 3) Living in the boondocks where fashion is only in the wikepdia as dressing down is a way of life for the mundane chores
