        @WSJ What is cheap about $89 pair of jeans? What a crock. Nothing cheap about them, it is profit margin that counts, not people.

        @WSJ So many reasons to buy quality vs quantity. Vintage, recycled, deconstructed are all great ways to get your high fashion on..

        @nycpu As much as we like to bitch about high prices, a lot of things we buy cost much less than they really should. See: clothing.
