Especially regarding the stuff that shows up on runways. I actually totally ignore that stuff. I'm more interested in practical looks that are more often found in window displays at the mall! That stuff is meant to look good in order to sell, not to be "artisitc" or "haute couture." As for the bags, I think the same thing. Take JCrew for example. Much as I'd love to have a leather postal messenger bag, there's no way I'm paying $700 for one! I could swing a canvas duffel for $48, though. But man, some of their luggage pieces exceed my economic stimulus package for the whole family! It is a little ridiculous to think of spending the cost of 5 days at Disneyland with the whole family on one suitcase. You could buy the case, but then say goodbye to the vacation! Craziness.
