What is your definition of outrageous? While I’m not a major handbag aficionado, to me it’s worth paying for good leather – but not other materials.
I can buy a great leather baseball glove with way more craftsmanship than the majority of handbags for $200. (Actually, that was the last glove I bought for my son and it was 5 years ago, so prices might be up). I don’t mind spending for quality, but prices for handbags seems too high and then when I spend $100-$200 for one, I feel like I am carrying junk :).
Seriously…pajama pants in public is a trend? I knew that sometimes college kids did that, but college kids like to sleep in and are lazy/careless 
I look both ways early in the morning when I run 3 ft. out my door to grab the newspaper just to make sure no one sees me. (Yes we still get a paper newspaper. It’s a small town and the police blotter is worth the small cost). Cannot imagine going into town to shop or anything in pajama bottoms. I’d be afraid someone would call for a mental health hold.
Yup, the shoes are marching across my page…
Camo patterns, especially in pastels - I don’t get it. Animal prints seem so dated to me but they won’t die. Crop tops on all but a very few. Can I mention nail polish? The trend of painting your ring fingernail a different color bugs me.
With a very few exceptions, a $200 handbag IS junk. This is not to say high price automatically equals quality because many higher priced handbags are junk as well, but the % of junk goes down as the price increases. I’m perfectly fine with carrying my $150 junk Longchamp tote.
I dislike large logos on bags. A small one is OK since it indicates the source of the good when nothing else about the bag is trademarkable (e.g., Burberry’s plaid). Some makers are big offenders: Gucci, LV, etc. If you truly want to be a member of an exclusive “bag club,” get a Goyard.
I hate the trend of cute little skulls as a pattern. Even pink and black skulls with a bow on their bony heads! There was a slightly viral video of a woman who gave birth in the car as her husband was racing to get her to the hospital, I kept thinking, “get those stupid skull pants off already”!
After reading that sentence I know I am going to have nightmares tonight. What an awful image - is there really such a clothing pattern? I have never seen it - thank God!
The skull trend is a few years out of date by now. Came and went.
I really like my Dooney purses and then are under $300. I also almost always (when I do gel/shellac polish) do a different color on one finger or even on a whole hand. That’s just the sort of thing I do, though.
If you watch the sales you might be able to get a quality bag for around $200. This bag caught my eye when I was in Arizona recently. It is a dressier bag by Brahmin - a brand that I was unfamiliar with. They seem to do a lot of embossed leather giving some of them the look of crocodile. The bags are beautiful and seem to be of decent quality. I thought the $295 price tag was reasonable for the look of the bag and certainly at some point they will go on sale. They also had totes in the same sort of embossed leather. I did not purchase it but thought it was an interesting line:
I love this bag and now it is much less than what I paid! http://www.dillards.com/p/dooney–bourke-greta-signature-satchel/504117727?di=04113462_zi_brown&categoryId=470&facetCache=pageSize%3D100%26beginIndex%3D0%26orderBy%3D1&di=04113462_zi_spearmint_lavender&facetCache=pageSize%3D100%26beginIndex%3D0%26orderBy%3D1
LOL @alh - not only can you get an expensive bag, but it can have skulls with bows on it!
The Alexander McQueen skull scarves were huge a few years ago but I still see fashionable women wearing them around here. So, I wouldn’t say that the skull-print trend is over in my area. Might be different where @Pizzagirl lives.
Nottelling, completely agree! McQueen’s pieces are timeless (RIP, he was so talented and is missed). Everything else is just an imitation. Imitations die out, and the real deal lives on.
I have two “real deal” scarves, and it is not the one with the skulls that raises people’s eyebrows. I did not realize that the scarf with Italian sculptures on it had some female gods with the upper parts of their bodies exposed… A la Starbucks old siren design. 
yucky trend: rolled up cuffed jeans for BOYS with preppy socks underneath. Its the Jcrew look run amok at school
Hmmm . . . that is exactly my son’s look. I kind think it beats the too long jean slouching onto the shoe and scuffing on the ground. If it’s good enough for James Dean . . .
I like that men of all ages seem to pay more attention to docks these days. I do think it’s funny to see whacky socks with shorts, but at least with pants cool socks are a good thing.
Ugh… No, just no:

Not cool even if it is faux fur.
