I was jsut looking at the bootlegger website it's it's like $85 for a pair of jeans!!! I'm like OMG. and just a few months ago I bought of pair of patns for $60 from AE and I thouht I looked good in them at the store...but when I got home I realized they were horrible about a week later and far too thin for my legs etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I jsut bought two t-shirts and a pair of guy shorts at AE, the t-shirts were $22 each but it was buy one get one 50% off so it was an okay deal, and I like hte shirts, but the shorts...I donno, I liked them at first and I mean I like wide stuff, or at elast I did a week ago but I jsut realized today that I look ridiculas, it' slike I change my fashoin from week to week and ti's jsut stupid, I always coem back to my fav pair of jeans and wear those for a couple a weeks till I go on a shopping spree again and buy something I don't like and always come back to those jeans, the jeans I got for $15 at saan store ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yep, most places are overpriced. Hot Topic is a cool place to shop, but the prices are O_O; I just shop at places I can afford and it isn't outrageously expensive.

Not that expensive here I don't think. Most of the tops I pay for are normally Ł10 ($19), I have 2 skirts and they to were Ł10($19). The jeans I buy are normally Ł20 -Ł25 ($38 - $48). Isn't really that expensive considering some stores charge ya Ł60 ($113) for some tops and trousers.

Ah, well, I'm poor, so, I shop at Walmart, and Fashion Bug, because they have major sales.
yeah, clothes are really expensive, and they shouldn't be, but if people buy them for that price, why should they reduce the price of the clothes?? right? |

yes.. i agree! clothes are getting so expensive. Hollister, Abercrombie, Forever 21.. their all getting so expensive & i can't afford that stuff! i know you can get really cute clothes at Old Navy, JC Penny's, Fashion Bug, H&M, and Walmart. They have decent prices.

Agreed.
And if you buy like sale items, it's like not in style anymore. I went to Aeropostale and they were still selling JEANS for 40 dollars. It's almost summer and they're still selling jeans for 40 bucks. |

Yeah they are getting pretty dayum expensive. Deff the jeans. But one day I bought a white shirt that said "Naughty" on it and it only cost 15$ that's pretty good. Then some pants [not jeans, not cotton, and not the stretchy kind, more like jersey material?] And they cost 15$ I thought it was pretty good. But some of the jeans cost 60+ I'm like AAH.

If clothes are getting more expensive, wait for sales. The Limitted, Express, and Gap had sales up to 60% and a huge clearance this past week. |

when you work and make a good pay check it doesnt really matter that much, if you really want it, you worked hard for the money and deserve it right? if it looks good, it looks good.
HOWEVER, if you're playing with mommy's/daddy's money you shouldnt go spending it like its nothing since they worked their asses off for it. |

I don't care about the price (unless I'm about to spend all of my money on it). If it's expensive and I like it, I'll get it.
And yeah, I noticed myself that clothing is getting to be wayyy too expensive. |

my advice:
do ur research FIRST online (hide ur credit card).. THEN go look for the clothes.. and think whether or not that item will go on sale anytime soon.. and when it goes on sale will it have ur size... i like expensive clothes too, but i NEVER buy anything full price.. AND surprisngly, the best deals i get are from department stores!! yup yup.. Macys, Nordstroms, and Bloomingdales.. u REALLY have to be patient and not worry about trends and that kind of stuff.. cuz u can find GREAT things that already has a reduced price+extra percents off!! these of course, are all advice given to me by my good buddy who is a shopping guru.. she knows when stores put new items on sale, she can predict pretty accurately when the next BIG sales are.. it's crazy.. i went shopping with her and scored a BCBG cardigan that's originally $130 for $25, and a gorgeous Guess dress that's originally $89 for $25 too.. but if u get lazy and don't wanna do all thta thinking (like me most of the time), ross, marshalls, and tj maxx has GREAT items.. |

I never spend that much money on clothes. I go to places like agaci and charlotte russe, and I buy whats on sale. Especially agaci cuz they have sale where all of their tops are 1.99, and u can get jeans as cheap as 2.99. Also, Vanity has great sales. I used to get shirt there for 97 cents, cuz they just keep marking down and marking down til it sells. So yeah. U just have to look. Some people are so stuck in a certain brand or trend that they have to have it NOW, but if you are patient and really look, you can save a lot of money.
