What to wear?
So the beautiful girls at Jezebel have a critique of the latest Marie Claire issue’s fashion layout.
They’re claiming that grunge is in again, showing the pretty “moddles” in a factory in their boots and flannel. The best thing though is how they point out this:
Oh, by the by, this entire ensemble is $1793. In this country, a factory job pays about $30,000. You probably bring home only $21,900 of that, meaning you make $1825 a month. So you’d have $32 left over – or $1.06 a day – to eat with that month if you purchased the clothes pictured.
The picture they’re talking about is here on your left. Those boots are $1,250. I can’t think of a single item of clothing I’d spend that much money on. Am I cheap? Does that make me frumpy? Dude…I could go to Good Will and get that same look for under $50.
