so i finally decided to drop into topshop in soho to see what the fuss was about. granted, i'd seen a few of the clothes on various blogs and websites. but this also gave me a sense of how expensive the clothes were gonna be, so i didn't expect it to be very recession friendly. and let me tell you something friends, it wasn't.
one of the first things i saw when i walked into the store (located on the corner of broadway and broome) were these atrocious leggings:
how much would you guess these suckers are? $20? $25? nope. $40. FORTY DOLLARS PEOPLE. this crap looks like something you'd see at the bargain bin of your local discount retailer. moving on.
this adorable peach floral number? adorable. and although $50 isn't thaaaaaaaat terrible, i feel like i could find this at a used clothing store for like, HALF.
then these sunglasses. super cute, right? what if i told you they were THIRTY dollars! yeah, i could buy the same pair at forever21 for like $5. lame-o.
what about this little eyelet number? adorbs, right? i think this one cost around $80 or $90 bucks. which makes me sad, cause it's JUST A COTTON EYELET DRESS. it's not made of cashmere or imported silk. 
then comes this really pretty dress with a sheer layer over it and beautiful bead work. and this is from the "kate moss" collection there. so between the intricate beadwork and the name attached to it, it jacked the price up to like $200 dollars. NO THANKS.bottom line...WHATEVER. i'll give it another whirl once the new fall line comes in. but i am not willing to go spend my hard earned money/unemployment checks here. for now, i'll keep going to h&m/forever 21/urban outfitters instead.

You are too funny! I see overpriced clothes all the time and feel the same way you do. :)
