Why Things End Up On Sale

It’s that time of year when everything ever sold in a store is on sale.

1. Because they make your wrists look like they’ve grown really long, unattractive hair.

I’m talking wrist MANES.

2. Because “classy ravers” don’t exist in real life.

Now, if these were sequined smiley-face JNCOs, that’d be another story….

3. Because they make about as much sense as a see-through crop top with a chambray pocket.

I can’t think of a “reason” for this but open to them if you care to add one to comments.

4. And other things go on sale because they’re essentially politically incorrect bathrobes.

Or couch throws with a sash.

5. And these sale shoes might make your feet look like headless, matted puppies.

While these shoes might not even get you through the front door.

6. Some acid wash jorts end up on sale because they look like they have an outer diaper.

As if the acid wash effect wasn’t “enough.”

7. And this dress might be on sale because it will give you distinct @ tan lines.

8. These “shorts” perhaps because they were not correctly categorized as underpants or “Halloween Only.”

9. This cardigan because fur probably shouldn’t look like it’s “sprouting.”

13. Also, we have to have sales because of jumpsuits.

Jumpsuits always end up on sale because jumpsuit goddess J. Lo doesn’t have time to buy all of them.
