Listen, I get it. Everyone from Beyonce to Rihanna has been seen sporting Christophe Decarnin's skin-tight mini dresses, broad-shouldered blazers, embellished jeans, and sexy sky-high footwear. And, much like that other fashion house (cough *Balenciaga* cough) whose pricey duds usually spawn a million more affordable knock-offs, Balmain look-a-likes can pretty much be found at every fast fashion hot spot nowadays for little to nothing.

So, imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this bedazzled mini on Bebe's e-store. I don't shop at Bebe but its merchandise can be summed up in one word: over-priced. It's one of those labels who aspires to be like a Max Azira but falls totally short instead. Nonetheless, someone inside their bran trust decided to create a replica of a dress from Balmain's Fall '08 collection.

It doesn't look too bad, but it's definitely not worth its $115 price tag. At all. The polyester just simply isn't cutting it and, well, it just looks kind of awful. This just goes to show that not everything in life that is Balmain inspired, relatively cheap, and accessible is good for your wardrobe or skin because I know this piece has to be very itchy. Here's to just hoping Balmain decides to bless us semi-broke fools with a limited edition capsule collection that won't scare my wallet.

If Karl Lagerfeld, Rodarte, and Stella McCartney can, why can't you Mr. Decarnin? Please! Le sigh.

Anyways, there were still a few pairs hanging on the racks when we got there. Even better though, the fit was perfect (mother approved!) and all 1969 denim was being sold with $20 knocked-off its original sale price. So again, awesome.

Indeed, everything was going good until my mother saw the $49.99 sale price pop up on the monitor. No, she wasn't expecting them to be cheaper or felt it was too much. In fact, the price in and of itself wasn't the issue. What she couldn't wrap her mind around and what would later baffle my lovable but non fashion curious father was the notion that anyone -- rich, poor, young, old -- would actually pay for someone to rip their jeans for them. And since there weren't that many holes in the jeans, it made my purchase of them ever more bizarre to my mom.

I say this because upon leaving the store she spent the next fifteen minutes lamenting on her ripped jean days -- a time when the only way to get that perfectly tattered slit above the knee was to find a pair of really sharp scissors and go to work. No paying anyone to customize your shit. No Gap 1969 premium "destroyed" jeans. No Shopbop model to sew lace on one of your pant legs. It was all you -- no guts, no glory.

Unless I hit the lottery like, say, tomorrow, the liklihood that i'll be sporting ripped denim pants that cost over $100 is very, very low because, like my mother, I have my limits, too. But for reasonably pieces like those from the Gap, well, I don't see what's wrong with indulging yourself a little bit.

So, I want to throw to you dear reader: How much is too much for ripped denim?

I'm going to keep this short and sweet:

Bluefly, the e-commerce site known for selling discounted Marc by Marc tops and Balenciaga handbags at a criminally affordable rate, is having a secret sale today on Twitter from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Even better, the sale is all about designer handbags, which means you very well maybe able to snag your fall piece with money left over to buy those Alexander Wang boots you've been eyeing since February.

Meanwhile, this Saturday -- and Saturday only -- Old Navywill be selling its ribbed tank tops for $2 each. Yes, you heard correctly! However, as the press release that made its way into out in box yesterday reads, one can only buy five tank tops at a time. 

In other words, bring your friend along with you who bummed a few dollars off of you for drinks at the bar and have them wait in line with the other five tank tops.

Happy Shopping!

PS: Chic and Untroubled's summer hiatus ends this Friday. For real this time. Until Monday then... 

Unless you're too tired from work or school, there's absolutely no excuse to miss the premiere of Morgan Freeman's documentary "Prom Night in Mississippi" debuting tonight on HBO. It chronicles the journey the Oscar-Award winning actor has been on for over a decade now as he attempts to integrate a high school prom in his hometown of Charleston, Mississippi.

He first offered to pick up the tab for Charleston High's prom back in 1997 under the condition that both White and Black students would attend the event together. Unfortunately, the kind gesture was met with much resistance and the school declined the offer. That was, of course, until Freeman returned back to the tiny once again in 2008 and offered to foot the bit for the school's prom under the condition they would stop voluntarily segregating themselves. And, to his surprise, the school said, "yes."

Still, not everyone was pleased and the documentary tonight will highlight the backwards thinking that lead quite a few of the White parents to become upset about the so-called "mixing" of the races at Charleston High's upcoming prom. In the preview clip above, two White students recount a meeting they went to for an all-White super prom, which was in response to the integrated event Morgan said he would pay for. The couple recall hearing the parents at the meeting dropping "nigger" like it was going out of style and quipping that their daughters wouldn't be bringing home in "mixed babies" and "No, nigger is going to be grinding on my daughter." Luckily, though, the children of the aforementioned fools appear to be much more enlightened than their racist parents.

Prom Night in Mississippi airs tonight at 9PM/EST on HBO.
