One of the girls in belly dancing class blurted out, “If you guys want [Indian] skirts you can get ’em at Susie’s Deals for five bucks! They have a whole rack of ’em!” So that’s where Vanessa and I went after class and caught the place 20 minutes before it closed.

I went NUTS. 5 Indian skirts, beautiful fabric and colors, some with bells on them, some with metallic weave; 3 ribbed cotton tanktops; 1 satin beaded spaghetti-strap tanktop, $40.95 out the door.

Good thing those skirts are in style now, too. I get double use out of ’em.
