"Citizens of Humanity Core Selvage Denim Jean-price $250.44" Now who is robbing who here?

Letter thief!

"...who is robbing who..."

Someone stole your 'm'!

Who is robbing whom...

(pet peeve)

My god, you're right!

If I e-mail you my home address, will you come over and beat my knuckles with the pointer? The nuns at Sacred Heart would want you to.

Dangling particip...ow, my chest!

The nuns at Sacred Heart would want you to.

Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join ya, honey!

How this doesn't happen at

How this doesn't happen at Pure Blu in Coolidge Corner is beyond me. They have both $200 jeans and Sox and Patriots wives as clientele. In a time when it's "not terrorism" to fly a plane into an IRS building, I shocked more nutjobs aren't targeting "them rich folks."

$16.96

Four pairs of basic jeans in a couple of different shades on uber clearance at Target, $4.24 each. My teen was very happy with them, and I'm counting my blessings that the no-logo kid has such wonderful taste and a skinny rump.

Something tells me that you only get one season of wear from $200 jeans and then they are out of style.

You get multiple seasons out of high end jeans.

I bought a pair of Marc Jacobs jeans from Jean Therapy in 2007. I wear them at least once a week. They are still in excellent shape.

There's nothing wrong with liking designer clothing. Just like there is nothing wrong with liking second hand clothing or stuff from Wal-Mart... All of which I own and wear.

Worse than that

You get one season of wear from them, and then they get smaller! And they make all your T-shirts smaller, too! And belts. I'm writing a letter.

Ha!

Funny how it all shrinks - and always after the winter months and holidays!

Actually, I just had to replace my clothing with smaller stuff - so I'm looking forward to inheriting the jeans my kid sheds after the next round. He may never outgrow those, though. Bummer.

Did you find them cheaper

Did you find them cheaper somewhere else?
