Everyone interested in female fashion buying should read this post. I have a sister who made millions selling women's shoes. She's a horrid person, whom literally stole money from her mother, but she knows fashion. She knows what women buy. She once told me, "If I lowed the price, they wouldn't buy it. All they need is a somewhat sincere compliment, and their Mine. Ca--Ching!". She also told me if a item of fashion is pricey, it can't be called cheap, or trashy. She would point out "the easy breezy" women who sauntered into her shoe store. My sister, "Do you have any clue how much thought, money went into that casual, just rolled out of bed, look?" The amount some women spend on fashion I still find mind blowing. I said some women, and I'm glad. I understand looking good, but there's a limit. Most of the high ticket items just look rediculious, but my opinion doesn't matter. Look at those hideous fashion uniforms Hillary, and Elisabeth Warren ware. How much do those Star Trek uniforms cost? I want to "out" the fashion industry. I cringe when I see women shelling out $600 for shoes they don't even look good in. I cringe when I see the disparity of prices between men's clothing and women's clothing. I cringe whenever I think about how devious my sister became. She once told me if I was a man, "I would get a pat on the back?". I didn't tell her, but most men don't manipulate lonely alcoholic men in order to get business funds, and stealing family money is just wrong, especially when the family is middle class/poor. Yea--Sweet Heart took all her mother's money. In a weird legal way, but so immortal it's sickening.

This is a very interesting read for perspective, thanks. If you're like me and wear pretty much the same thing everyday bought from thrift stores (excepting underwear), it can really open your eyes. Women do, generally speaking, all look better than men. I probably spend too much on outerware, but I save on clothes because I just don't care. As an anecdote, one of the baristas at my coffee shop said a ski pass at our closest resort (I'm in the Rockies) was too expensive while wearing, what I thought to be, fancy clothes. After 9 months of interaction, I've concluded her clothes budget would cover 3 ski passes. My parents taught me to value experiences over material goods, and I'm very thankful for that.
