[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janie and Jack is very bourgeois - as is spending a fortune (even when it's on "sale") on kids clothes and then talking about it and how much it costs.

[b]I don't think paying $10 for an outfit is a fortune. [/b]And thinking you'll get money back when you sell it makes me wonder how much each of you spend on your kids' clothes.

Every time I go to the store to consign their stuff I come back with $80-100 that I spend on their clothes for the next season and we're good to go. I think I spent $100 when they were born and I keep getting it back with selling it and spending more or less the same $100 for the next season.

The only thing I really spend money on are shoes. Even those I try to get on sale but still it will be around $25 per pair. I can definitely sell it because some people don't mind buying used shoes.[/quote]

This is what baffles me. Many people here have HHI over 200k; almost everyone is ready to pay $10 for two pounds of organic apples. But when it comes to children's clothing, $20 is all of a sudden a fortune?? I have HHI of about 200k and I can definitively afford an occasional, say, Burberry, for my child. I just don't get it. Janie and Jack is a mid-range clothing - there is definitively clothing out there that is several times more expensive. If I really liked something at J&J I wouldn't think twice about buying it. It's just that I don't like it that much; it's overdone, too much matchy-matchy.[/quote]
