My granddaughter saw some, with more or less the same description you gave, for $250, on sale. People who pay that have too much money and not enough sense to spend wisely. Just think of the good they could do with that "excess" money.

Even if I had the money to spend, there is NO way I would spend it on clothing that overpriced.

I don't do that because of years of living close to the bone (almost broke). Right now I wouldn't do it because I'm losing weight & changing sizes just quick enough.

Nope wouldn't do it even if I won the lottery. When my DD was in kindergarten all the girls had designer jeans. She wanted them too. She was told no dice. And why would you want to run around with someone else name on your bottom giving them free advertising? I made all her clothes , had to. Even though her stepdad made good money I didn't get much of it. So she got really nice clothes that no one else had. I thought I instilled that "no one else has it " in her but I guess not. She loves Steve Madden shoes. And she would give her eye teeth to be able to buy a pair of shoes with red soles . Some designer I have no clue. LOL
But she did go the hair dyed different colors and tattoos. LOL no one else has her tattoos.

Ok so the old jeans I have that are worn out, with holes in various places and a patch over the hole in the rear end would be worth at least $100 because they are originals. Right???? LOL

I can always put my name on them..... :roll:

I was a single mom for 10 years. I know what its like to be so broke, I wasnt sure how I was going to get grocerys. I have always gone to thrift shops, and looked for the best deals on things. Now that my kids are older, and things arnt as tight, I still go to the thrift stores! I have never paid more than $8 for a pair of jeans & never will! If I won the lotto, I still wouldnt pay $179 for a pair of jeans!
