Being Erica's Clothes

If you are a fan, then you know what envy is.  The clothes, the apartment.  Sure Erica is still living in the same apartment she had in college - but it doesn't suffer from 'college furnituritis'.  The bookcases are not made of cinderblock and particle board, and the walls do not feature taped up prints of "The Kiss" or "Jazz".   

And while Erica may feel stuck in a rut, her wardrobe is not.  And as she evolves, so does her clothing.  T-shirts and skirts give way to designer dresses.  Watching this show is addictive, and the fantastic clothing is just the cherry on top.
