I am changing my former 5 stars to 3 stars. Last Chance is just not cutting it for me anymore. After 12 years of being a Last Chance hardcore, my participation in savage \"Hunger Games\" style clothing wars has come to an end.\n\nI got tired. I got tired of being on edge (crack like feeling) when a rack of new jeans squeaked by. I got tired of not trusting anyone and having to hound my finds as if they were a vital body organ. I got tired of digging through mountains of crap to find one semi damaged item that bore the coveted name on the tag that NO one will ever see anyhow. I got tired of seeing humanity at it's worst (especially Christmas season... Boy do I have stories). I got tired of fearing losing control over my emotions and getting banned from Last Chance. Simply put, I got tired. Or maybe I just got old.\n\nI am 26 now and I realized shopping is suppose to be fun. It is a leisure activity in the fashion area. Fashion is how we express ourselves (or feel comfortable in what we cover our naked bodies with). I do not care what brand I wear anymore, it's pointless to me. Here are a few revelations I have experienced since my Last Chance days:\n\n-Purses are overpriced bags. Wallets are overpriced little bags that go into the big bag. A bag is a bag. Cotton or pleather is not worth $600.00 in order to carry less than $50 dollars worth of s* in. \n-No one truly cares/notices if your jeans are retail priced at $150.00. Unless the guy is VERY into women's fashion.\n-If you base yourself on brands you cannot afford, skip the madness and buy a self help book instead.\n-A t shirt is a t shirt. The silkscreen design on it is not worth an additional $45.00. \n-Most of the stuff at Last Chance is damaged. Save yourself the the agony and just buy a lower priced similar item and a discount store like Marshalls.\n-No brand is worth the mental torture.\n-Happiness comes from being you. \n-Saving is a virtue. Most of us have a closet with multiple changes of clothes, do we really NEED more?\n-A plane ticket and hotel stay in a foreign place is invaluable to life. A $250.00 bill at Last Chance high may only last a few hours to a few days.\n-The addiction to brands is kind of creepy when you really think about it...\n-True fashion has soul. Soul has no price tag.\n-If I have to impress people by an accessory I am wearing, then I have no desire to be associated with a person like that. Grow up. My worth is in my heart and mind homie ;)\n\nI still might hit up Last Chance once in a blue moon. I am not as persistent as I once was. I would recommend it to anyone and by no means mean to bash it or the Last Chance shoppers. I am simply posting an update on my feelings on this place.\n\nPS. SOOOO many people know about Last Chance now and it is always crowded. I have a hard time finding deals now and often leave empty handed. Good luck folks.
