This is a real gem!

@jym626 Nope, the one in #959 isn’t the one I tried to post about, though it is also awful. The one i posted about almost was like a puffer burka with only the eyes showing, and also was hard to walk in. I explained how to find it on FB.

Meanwhile, the one you posted in #960 is a close rival to the one I tried to post about!

I couldn’t find it the way you described. I tried. Perhaps someone who was able to find it can provide a link (or you simply right click on the photo and copy the URL or address)

I found it but had to scroll down a whole lot before coming across it. I wasn’t able to right click to get a link because it was a video and not a photo. Soozie is right – it was UGLY.

where was it? Tried looking under that name and date-- no luck

Ahhh
 with the help of a poster, I finally found it. Bizarre!!!

Cute 20-somethings in Hong Kong with short shorts or tights and a miniskirt or those miniskirts with a gauze midi-length overskirt.

@mathmom I was told at the Ugg store that there is a market for those type of shoes. I suspected it was the hip Asian demographic. They are a marriage of an Ugg top and a Hoka bottom.

These do not qualify for ugly AND expensive, but just ugly. They appeared on my newsfeed on FB:

There are many more like this. I guess it is ugly XMAS sweater meets dress?

They look like those things you put under the Christmas tree – a tree skirt?? – that someone just quickly stitched up so they could cover themselves.

Yippee! These are on sale!

You gotta see reviews. Only two, but so positive. :wink:

^^^^^ I don’t care how rich you are – why would you spend so much money on these things? You can only wear them once or twice before they’re dirty, the feathers have fallen off, and everyone you know has seen you in them. Then what – to the consignment store?

I do love the reviews!

I always have to really stop and realize that I have zero concept of super huge wealth. I say to myself “well, it’s as if I went to Walmart and bought some $2 flip flops” and shrugged when they broke after five wearings. Oh well, 2 bucks. I have to imagine someone not caring much about ruining a $10,000 pair of (ugly) boots. And yes, it’s hard to imagine. My next thought usually is “wow, think how many families they could have fed with that money”. LOL. You can’t change me.

Why??

@BunsenBurner For the second
 mosquito proofing when looking for the first. Obviously you wear them together


So, this slideshow came up on my Facebook newsfeed, and again, all I could think about was our CC thread here.

Explosion in a rag bag?

The copy reeks of desperation: “There’s something to be said for
” Uh huh.

Next Aussie winter Olympic uniform? It is quite the bargain, though.

So I see two trends in ugly expensive right now - puffer everything and mixing fabrics in the same garment that have no business being together!
