A few years back, I wanted a pair of overalls to wear in a ski at church. I wnt to the IFA store, where they were $69.95 plus tax. So, I wore a pair of Levi’s and a flannel shirt in the skit.

It’s all about where you shop.

When the Gap stopped carrying their contractor series jeans, I went looking elsewhere for a pair of carpenter style button-fly jeans. I found a pair in a store called 21. When the salesclerk told me the price, I laughed because I thought it was a joke.

The ‘readers-provided fashion show’ will now continue.

Shop where the “real workers” shop … much cheaper.

AUGH!! Can’t these comic strips parents stop being cheap for once in their printed lives?!

If they were pre-faded and pre-ripped, it would be $105.

Someone asked my daughter how she could afford her super trendy wardrobe. She goes to thrift stores and finds stuff before it becomes blessed by the trend deities. She has more common sense than to pay someone $100 to grind holes in her jeans.

I’m really glad the grungy work clothes trend did not take off

Same company, same outfit, just inflating the price.

Way to go, Frank! Reject, reject, reject!

Back in the 1980’s, designer jeans were in fashion. I distinctly remember my parents saying to me, “You are NOT getting $100 designer jeans.” Me? I just shrugged my shoulders and said, “Okay”. I never did care for designer labels., so even though they were letting me know that if I did fancy them, don’t even bother asking, it was kinda unwarranted.

I’d like to find some overalls that won’t fall apart in 2 days that don’t cost that much.
