You can buy jean shorts that look exactly like that for 20 bucks at the mall.

AND chanel is quickly moving to the top of the list of brands that I hate.

Skye – There are tons of the exact same pieces….like they found a pirate ship full of vintage Chanel costume jewelry. All those chain pendants are fake, crudely made, but people think if there’s a stamp “Chanel” on the back, it must be authentic. FUCkers!

Dru – AND I saw a photo of the guy who owns it: Total douche!

JOy D – Yeah, lazy and stupid.

Aja – GG is the stupidest, jesus.

Iron Chic – I figured there would be scientific proof, thank you.

Ann – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Bessie – I miss you.

Jenny Dunville – But what about the recession?!

dust – Yes, but look at poor annemarie.

annemarie – I know you’ll get over this. I know it.

cricket9 – Thank you!

Kate – Name her!

theresa – What are fairy princess shorts?? Do they wear shorts??

Hayley – IF ONLY it was a joke.

Hammie, Same here, thrift shop for $6 jeans, then cut them.

andrea – I couldn’t hate them more if I tried!

Rackk and Ruin – Anyone who pays for something cut up or distressed =pathetic. What could be more bourgeois?

I can’t get over the infestation of crazy expensive cut-offs. . . let alone jeans! Luckily i don’t look that good in shorts so i’d never be tempted. . .but still. it’s outrageous. And yes, many shoppers out there are stupid. That’s why these companies get away with it!

What Goes Around Comes Around is a vintage store in New York on West Broadway in Soho that “curates” really good vintage clothing. The downside for us is that what they do carry is astronomically expensive. It is not unusual to find a pair of old Levis there for well over $1000.00! And unfortunately a lot of celebrities, stylist, and tourists do pay those prices. I think that they feel they can do this is because, for certain people, just their name carries some cred (refer to “Brand Whore” post a few days back). So they came out with their own line and, of course, it is astronomically expensive. As long as there are people who will pay their prices, they will continue to charge them. They must be laughing at all the buyers that ordered these for their shops behind their backs (all the way to the bank).

every year I cut them – then whine at the end of the summer when they won’t grow back. So I buy more in the thrift store. xx

Annemarie, no! We can’t lose you to the dark side, you are better than a pair of horseshit shoes (and I say this as a girl who loves horses, and loves shoes too).

This is the first time i’ve heard of WGACA.
I looked at their website.
$750 for an old The Who t shirt?
$500 for old band shirts. Fuck.
This must be a joke.

hahaha annemarie, i was about to say IM THAT STUPID. I could go to coachella or I could buy a pink dress and not eat for two weeks. these were some options presented yesterday.

I seriously contemplated the not eating and the pink dress. (plus the not eating would probably complement the dress, RIGHT?!)

FORTUNATELY, my best friend who doesn’t wear shoes bought my ticket without asking me- and of course i’ll pay her back and worship at her bare feet for knowing ahead of time that I’m an idiot.

I already have a pink dress. and im going to wear it to coachella, damnit!

as for the cutoffs, im not tempted in the slightest. but if they were fairy princess shorts, I’d probably take a second look.

A few years ago a well-known blogger did and April Fool’s post about wanting to buy cutoffs on ebay for a few dollars.

I told her that her joke sucked, as cutoffs were pretty great with black tights and heels like Yoko Ono wore them (back then this wasn’t really a popular style yet and Kate Moss only started it up a few months later).

So yeah, better to buy them on ebay than to shell out for these! A year later the same blogger was buying pre-cut jeans from H&M. Just sayin’.
