For 1500 bucks anyone can look stupid.

222

Check this out - this version does precisely what swimcatsmom was talking about - it draws attention precisely to the abovementioned part. :smiley: And it is a whopping $300 cheaper!

223

if it was $5, I’d buy it and wear it to work JUST to see people’s faces and see if anyone would say something :))

224

With a little glue and a feather boa you too can be a fashionista.

225

Finally I’m catching on. Nordstrom puts those items in and then has a contest for the best review.

226

Gouf, lol. Could be a fashionable solution to rescue 1214mom’s moths-eaten sweater
 :wink:

227

And now I figured out they have a contest for reviews of just regular over-priced clothing too!
Maybe we could start “The Bag Collection” at Nordstrom. We can gather clothing from the “Bag a Week” thread

$1090 for a Lanvin hoodie that looks like it could have come from Old Navy?

Dude, it’s still a hoodie


229

Is this a mean girls thread?

230

It’s more like an emperor is wearing no clothes thread.

231

Really, no one is ever going to imagine that you invested $1090 in a “hoodie” - they are simply going to think it looks like what it is - an inexpensive piece of casual wear. And wear it to a business meeting?? Certainly not when everyone else is in a suit. There are certainly a few industries where you can pull it off, but no one is going to differentiate that hoodie from one that costs $20 from the GAP or Sports Authority.

232

But the ultimate test is
would Heidi Klum consider it ‘fresh, modern and fashion forward’? :slight_smile:

233

Is this the hoodie Pharma Bro had on when he was arrested?

234

Bummer. Pharma Bro apparently killed the hoodie:

I’ve actually bought a designer-label cashmere hoodie for one of my kids a few years back. But I think I paid like 30 bucks for it at Nordstroms Rack. :smiley:

236

Love that BB!

“The dressed-down look has been seen as a power move by many young entrepreneurs. But it’s also come to represent a certain kind of social douche-baggery and Peter Pan immaturity. For many, this casual dressing — especially among Millennials — is seen as a raspberry in the face of both professionalism and adulthood.”

Ha!

I’m reluctant to click on any of these links. I had those lovely mommy cut off shorts display on my FB advertisements. haha

As long as we’re talking about hoodies, lol: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/inflatable-sleep-hoodie-hypnos_568a74c5e4b06fa68882c43f
