Catch-21 

The ultimate problem in any shopping outing. Do you go to Forever 21 first and end up wearing "cheap goggles" the whole trip, or do you risk buying a dress at retail cost only to find it at Forever 21 for 10x less at the end of your trip?
Girl, they just put a Forever 21 right across from a J.Crew! What a Catch-21!
