smashin' fashion

how do people swing the purchase of various clothing & accessory pieces? this picture shows a purse costing $395. what money is there left to put into this pricey bag? and, say you put an ink pen in the bag, and said ink pen burstalized. criminy. $395 inked. the pants in this pic are $95, and to me, they look for the world like my blue light specials - $14.99. the jacket, $350. they don't mention the shirt, so it's probably hanes her way - heaven forefend they deign to mention the tee shirt. the belt... $1freakin9freakin8. geeyah. the shoes are $250, which for some unknown reason, seems reasonable.

it's not really a question of how, i suppose -- i know how they swing these purchases. they may receive stellar paychecks, but they more likely charge the purchases. the question, really, is why.
