Which is to say, I can't.
I like working but not getting paid blows chunks. Especially with student loans.
Sure I'd love to buy some nice work clothes. I'd love to dress the sexy secretary---like Cuddy---but I can't afford $150 sweaters. So, I'll rock my $30 uebersale jewel tone sweater with brooch and my hand-me-down loafers. Pair that with a $20 pair of amber earrings as a souvenir from the Feast, and consider my budget completely blown until further notice. (I make just enough babysitting that my loans shouldn't bankrupt me...as long as the Edmundsons keep feed me. Yay?)
As for the other mainstay of fashion---I own one tinted lipgloss and have been known to sometimes spray something on my hair. I've had the inkling to learn how to do some make-up---I secretly glance at tips in beauty magazines in public spaces---but have dismissed the interest due to lack of funding (make-up) or disproportionate expense/fuss to gratification (hair).
Shame on me for miring myself in education-related debt when I should have been making friends with a wealthy benefactor!
