Have you been to Fox’s yet? For some reason, when pressed to list the top designer discount stores in the area, one store seems to miss the list, and I think I know why. Full disclosure- it’s the dressing rooms. The dressing rooms are more…uh…er… communal, I think is the right word. Yes, they are open, I admit it. Think bathroom stalls without doors. I don’t know why they do it, but I just try to stay focused on my clothes and wear mental horse blinders so I don’t accidentally see anything else. After a few visits I don’t even think about it anymore.

A die-hard discount fashionista would not let this deter them! In fact, I rank it right under my beloved Loehmann’s. Why? As I scan through my closet I came up with a few reasons:

• Hudson black flare jeans which I got for $89 (retail $189)
• Laundry raincoat for $98 (retail $198)
• Shoshanna dress for $109 (retail $259)

Are you with me so far? Give it a chance and make sure you wear cute underwear if you’re planning on trying anything on!
