[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If having these jeans are important to your child, their purchase is something you can afford (as a middle class family can buy $100 jeans), and reflect your family values.... get them.

I do not find them attractive nor could afford them. But I am over 40 middle class government worker and the former peace corps type. I understand that other people have different needs and priorities. As well as ability to fulfill them. [/quote]

You are missing a "0"

1000, not 100.

As in 1 grand[/quote]

No. Middle class can buy hundred dollar jeans without killing budget. Wealthy family can buy thousand dollar jeans for a smaller portion of family's budget. I am middle class and non materialistic so hundred dollar jeans would be what I'd buy for my kid without much question [/quote]

This is not about CAN, but about SHOULD. Our HHI is over $1M and I still buy my jeans from Nordstrom Rack or the sale section of Anthropologie. I have never spent more than $100 on a pair of jeans because I can't justify the expense. I think being somewhat frugal is a virtue. [/quote]

Exactly.  [/quote]
