Here’s my simplest advice: if you still have your job, and can afford some little extravagances, scoop up the killer deals our crap economy has so kindly offered us. It’s times like these when Saks 5th Ave can actually be your dearest friend.

Exhibit B: Ralph Lauren Boatneck Dress in Merino Wool. Holy moly… $54.99?! Buy 2, and when the first one wears out, you’ll be pleased to know you have a backup of this timeless classic. Perfect with pumps, boots, cute belts, scarves, jackets… everything!
