I started getting the Oprah newsletter a few weeks ago. I like it because it’s not the same content every day – it varies from fashion to self-help to fitness and beyond. But I have found one little thing that’s been driving me nuts. On their affordable fashion, they list 3 price levels: steal, good deal, and splurge.

So, of course, I look at the “steal” items. I’m not rich – and I’m certainly not about to drop a load of cash on trendy things that are going to be “so out” in 3-6 months. But the “steals” are almost always over $50, and often over $100. How is that a steal? Take me to Kohls, Payless, and Target please! Show me how to look amazing (especially in this economy) without a $500 outfit.

Puh-lease.
