Two friends of mine are about to have their first child. He asked me to hate on Avatar but I refused. So, I said I would like to hate on the cost of baby clothing for him instead.
I do not have a child coming anytime soon, but if there is one thing I’m not looking forward to, it would be buying that little booger new clothes. Little sneakers for 45 bucks, and little outfits for $90. Keep in mind these babies are growing so rapidly you’ll be lucky if they wear the damned thing more than once.
I don’t get it, you would think with less fabric the cost would be less.
This is fashion. This is cute. This will not be cheap. It’s annoying, and I’m sick of it. The entire industry is as corrupt as Wall Street but yet we don’t care cause “OH MY GOD! Look at this adorable belt!” Great enjoy that wonderful new belt that was handmade by children in a nation that you can’t pronounce.
I also hate the fact that affordable clothing is ugly. You ever notice the “fashion” at a Target? It’s done on purpose. But on the same side of the coin, I don’t get how extremely simple designs attached with a small guy playing polo on a horsey, will run you over 100 dollars. It’s all status, and the sick part is, they make it for babies too! That’s right a 150 dollar sweater that will be used as a spit rag.
Also, why are all the hip stores at the mall called Urban Outfitters? Where does someone like me shop who has no desire to be in a rap video and would feel quite stupid wearing anything from Banana Republic. Its like you’re a yuppie or a hippie, a prep or a jock, hell we even debate the topic of what is goth and what is a vampire look. We are currently experiencing a sales boom in white powder makeup thanks to this stupid vampire fad.
Also, if you’re an overweight person, good luck getting anything that is in your size. Thin people are the only ones allowed to be hip and “with it.” If you’re fat you’re stuck with a 2x shirt that says “BIG DOG” on it. The funny part, this shirt you’re wearing has about 17x’s the amount of fabric… but still is about 35 dollars cheaper than a Ralph Lauren baby polo.
