Is it possible that the merchandising teams at Forever 21 had an inkling that old timey Depression era chic would be making a comeback this fall just as the retailer's price points hit their most attractive ? They have created a perfect storm of ironic cheap fashion items just as our consumer class begins to crave a fashion fix. We were hit with a palpable urge to shop this afternoon that just will not quit. Our only desire is to go drop $100 at a fast fashion emporium. But we wonder if, just like after a fast food binge, we will only feel bad after the fact.
