Absurd
My daughter & I did a little shopping Monday afternoon, and I mildly chided her for spending $60 on a pair of jeans. Good thing she didn't see any of these brands.
Far from being rarities, jeans with price tags of $200 are now everywhere, the retail equivalent of dandelions after spring rain. And it no exaggeration to say that a pair these days can easily cost as much as an iPod (Tsubi, $319), a Motorola Razr (Levi's vintage, $325), or a desktop computer with the printer thrown in. (Nudie vegetable dye jeans, $428.)
Or how about a pair of Evisus for $635?
Are you people smoking crack? $600 for a pair of jeans? I wouldn't pay that for a pair of jeans even if I had money.....or even if they did fit. Which I'd bet they wouldn't, because those kind of jeans seem to be designed for pre-pubescent boys. I'm a woman, not a toothpick. Baby got back. And legs too (34" inseam). Which is why I usually buy men's pants. It's the easiest & cheapest way to find some that fit.
Does that make me a cross-dresser?
