Lo and behold, I saw a pair of acid-washed blue jeans with holes (HOLES!), strategically placed, I'm sure, on the knees and pockets. They were absolutely worn out from washing! If they'd been in my closet, they would have been transitioned to gardening jeans long ago. But these were brand new, hanging on a hanger, waiting for some idiot to buy them. The price? Care to guess?
$179.00!!
Who would pay $179 for jeans (no less) that won't survive three more washes? I could have found something far less "worn out" at Goodwill for about $12. Is this nuts, or what?
As I always say, some people have more money than cents (pun intended).
I don't get it either! We were going through my daughter's closet this weekend and I pulled out a ripped up pair of jeans to throw in the GARBAGE pile and she snatched them right out and said "NO! I'm going to SELL these!" She looked at me like I was nuts and said that they came from Hollister and they came that way (ripped to shreds) and she was not going to THROW or GIVE them away. *sigh* I don't get it!! Yuck... I wouldn't pay to buy clothes with holes and rips in them!
