I have to admit, one of my weaknesses is shopping. I love fashion. But over the years, I have noticed that trying to subscribe to fashion trends has cost me more than just a pretty penny (I’m too embarrassed to share just how much). Anyhoo, imagine my excitement when I found Steve and Barry’s. For those who don’t know, Steve and Barry’s is a department store that sells clothing, shoes, and accessories for the entire family. Right now, each article of clothing, jewelry, or pair of shoes will cost you $8.98.
