BELT IT OUT: 401(k) not working out so well? Invest in a DvF fund instead. Dupont boutique Betsy Fisher kicks off its semi-annual Gamblers' Sale this Thursday, Dec. 17. All fall merch is 30 or 45 percent off, and discounts go deeper every two weeks ago. Are you brave enough to hold out and hope that no one else snaps up your true (fashion) love? The shop's M.O. is classic looks with a sassy twist -- think a pale gray dress with a hot pink cropped cardi, or an outfit of neutrals topped off by a Sandy Duftler Designs leather sash for $125. And every two weeks, prices will drop 10 to 15 percent. The next round of markdowns takes effect on New Year's Eve. How long can you wait without going completely insane with shopper's anxiety? Well, we can't tell you everything. But we'd take a gamble that you should go soon. GET IT: Betsy Fisher, 1224 Connecticut Ave. N.W. (202-785-1975).
