Well that sweater looks better than yours in all likelihood. If there ever was a sweater to get you laid, that is it.

Ah, $559 for a sweater, I bought a nice sweater at Foleys a Hilfiger (spelling?) for $30. What about your $560 sweater is better than my $30 sweater? No seriously, I'd like to know. Does the $560 sweater come with a heater inside? It should I found a jacket with a battery powered heater online for $99 (batteries not included). Come to think about it for the price of your $560 sweater I could buy a decent refurbished laptop and a sweater, throw the laptop under my sweater while on and have a nice heated sweater and laptop for the price of your $560 sweater. Or heck I could take that $560 pay a car payment, and still have enough left over for dinner, a nice sweater, and that heated jacket.
But yeah! What a great deal!

I certainly can't afford these items now, but hey, one day, why not? I don't think anyone can say that if they had the money, they'd still be shopping at Gap or whereever. I'll be the first one to admit, when the good money starts rolling in (still in school), there is no reason not to look nice is designer clothing. Simply put, it looks better, on anyone. For those of you who buy Hilfiger and think that's nice (you kidding me?), you need to open your eyes.
I see where you're coming from, but I disagree with your statement. Half of fashion is what you're wearing, but the other half is how you wear it. You can look good in cheap clothes, because honestly, the average (and even above-average) of the fashion-conscious won't know its cheap if you carry yourself a certain way. Half of the game is confidence.
Of course, if you're more confident because it cost you more, go for it. There's nothing wrong with that.

The geeks can mock all they want. Lets face the facts. That $560 sweater will still be as useful (with general use) 10 years down the line as it was brand new. It might still retain a fairly nice chunk of its original price.
That $500 CPU or Video Card after 5 years will be worth but a few bucks. 10 years down, it will be completely worthless to the point that no one would want it even if you gave it away.
Who needs a girl when you've got such a soft sweater on hand? :QOriginally posted by: WinkOsmosis

I recycle all my old hardware into comfortable, practical wearables. I've had the same pair of high density mittens and double data rate shorts for years, they're quite durable. You can even sometimes see a spark when I fart in the dark, too!
There is an element of exclusivity to fashion; after all, it's not fashionable if everyone else in the world is wearing it. For example, a Gucci sweater may cost $1,800 at the flagship NYC store. This sweater perhaps cost them $50 to make. However, you're buying a position as one of the most fashion-conscious people in the world. Now, I don't buy Gucci because I think it's a rip off, and I think it means "fashion-victim" personified. But brands like Canali, Brioni, Kiton, etc.--all of these brands justify their prices with the quality of their craftsmanship.
Maybe these rules don't apply online, but you're often what you wear.

I think most people are missing the point that a person who spends $500 on a sweater wouldn't care for a 10% discount, would not wait for a sale, would not search the net for the best price, would not brag it was such a 'hot deal,' and would not post here as if it was a clearance on Target's electronic section. These people are either craving attention or are just full of it.
