Remember when it was summer, and we’d cut off an old pair of jeans to make shorts? I still do that, nearly every year. Why do trendy brands like Vince<\/strong> think we want to pay $195<\/strong> for a pair of cut-offs? Why do they think we’re that stupid? Are we?<\/p>\n

The brand “What Goes Around Comes Around<\/strong>” really<\/em> thinks we’re stupid. \u00a0 They want us to pay $195<\/strong> for putting some studs in a pair of Converse<\/strong> lowtops. \u00a0 The studded hightops are $350. As if!<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

WGACA<\/strong> is a multiple offender. See this “Chanel<\/strong>” necklace? They want you to pay $795<\/strong> for it, because you think it’s vintage<\/a>. Chanel is the most counterfeited brand in the entire world, and some of it is very convincing if you don’t know better. This WGACA shit is being sold all over the place for tons of money. It’s just crap.<\/p>\n

It annoys me to have my common sense challenged like this. Everybody’s all up in arms over a pricey T-shirt by Balmain<\/a>, but the assumption that the style-conscious consumer is a stupid idiot is rampant across the board.<\/p>\n

I hope those cutoffs don’t sell. I need to think that no one’s that stupid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
