The precious? Not at Fred Segal.

Look, if you have thousands of extra dollars a week and can't think of a charity or anyone in your family to give it to, go ahead and drop it at Fred Segal. Pay for overpriced clothes and jeans, most of which will be on the pages of In Style and US Weekly tomorrow and then show up at normal-priced stores the following week. But if you're just making a decent living working 50 to 60 to 80 hours a week, like yours truly, save your pennies.
If you want to go over to Fred Segal for kicks, to get some new style ideas, or for some old fashioned celebrity gawking, I highly support you. But please, unless it's their semiannual sale, do not pull out the plastic. It's really not worth it. 70% of the merchandise will be "out" in 6 months - so why spend 90% of your paycheck on the cute but short-lived fads. I know the math is getting a little complex there, but just take my word for it. Just say no to Fred. Please.
