Amen!!! That dumb logo looks like a hubcap on apparel and accessories. "Hey! Look at me. I spent $750 for a purse and $300 for ballet flats!"

Ummmm...just because you own them, it doesn't change the fact that those giant logos are really, really tacky.

They are some fugly-ass sandals. That damn logo is just the worst in the country.

I think the sandles are cute but I am not familiar w Tory burch or whoever ski wouldn't have been impressed.
What I do notice is damn, you have some seriously long finger toes!! Woah!

Hide your ugly toes, they are so long they look like fingers

Am so curious now -- PP are those really your own feet? You posted your own feet on DCUM? Brave!

I think your pedi looks really nice, btw.

I have to agree on the other stuff--no big logos, your clothing really shouldn't be a walking billboard for a designer. Labels belong on the inside. But if you like expensive stuff (and you can afford it), more power to you. I don't think everyone does things to impress others.

Oooh, I forgot one. I don't highlight my hair or get mani/pedis to impress, I do it because I look better that way! Nobody wants to see scraggly nails and my gray hair!

Hon, no one CARES if you have gray hair or scraggly nails but you. Stop trying so hard to impress people.

THat's crap. THere are plenty of threads on hre complaining about how nobody wants to see anyone's ugly gray hair, fa ass, scraggly nails, crooked teeth, etc. People care.

What a bitter nasty bitch you are. Clearly jealous.

Not the PP you are calling a bitch.

I just don't understand why people judge each other on such trivial things. I'm guessing it's because they are insecure about those particular things themselves and they project. Those things just don't matter much to me. I used to be a pretty judgmental person until I had a big dose of reality. I have a SN kid who can sometimes be a bit of "spaz" but because he looks "normal" people always talk (loudly) about what a brat he is or how I've failed as a mother. Only once or twice have I heard "I think there's something wrong with him". "He's not normal". I've stopped judging people based on what's at the surface and I've started to get to know people.
It's a good thing too. I recently had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in 20 years. Her turret's was worse, constantly ticking, and her meds (coincidentally the same ones DS is taking) caused tooth decay and she had no teeth. She had them pulled and dentures ordered but they sent the wrong ones! Not once during our three hour lunch did I think about it or wonder what people thought of us though later I did think how cool it was that she was comfortable meeting in such a public space. I was amazed by her confidence.
I have gray hair, the hands of someone who does manual labor, and I never wear make-up. However when I go out in public I am showered and my hair and teeth are brushed. I'm also usually dressed appropriately.

You would probably die of shame if you ever heard how the Europeans trash the tanned, manicured, highlighted, tank-driving foreigners with their loud children speaking bad French. They can spot you a mile away. But good for you for trying to teach your children about different cultures.

Umm, why should thus poster care what Europeans think of her?

Agreed. Yup, I put my kid in target, tcp and osh kosh. And Payless shoes. I'm not wasting money on clothes and shoes that get trashed!

Only buy hannas when they are on massive sale.

Payless shoes are ruining your kids' feet. You should spend more money on shoes for quality.

I agree, spend a little more for quality or you will regret it in a few years.

You are both invited to send me shoe money for my kids's feet. Or I can just continue to spend within my means!

Try Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, etc. Do you think James Bond would be caught dead in a Chevy?

Most people on this thread posting that "cut flowers", "a Chevy", and "Hanna Anderson" clothes for kids as being status symbols are completely out of touch as to what a real status symbol is. That is a GOOD thing! Be proud in your cluelessness!

Intentional, PP, INTENT-IONAL. Smh.

Yup. I swear, the average level of reading comprehension has gone so far down hill around here recently.

Ok, what evidence do you have that cheaper shoes are ruining my child's feet? They have some crummy shoes, yes, but you can find nicer options there with more sole support.

I don't put my child in Payless exclusively, but I will not pay more than $20-ish on shoes. Sometimes we find shoes at Target, sometimes at Kohls, sometimes a Stride Rite outlet, we've even lucked into a really good sale at Sketchers. But I don't pay a ton for shoes-I just don't buy the cheaper shoes are all bad for you hype.

OMG - they are the single most ugly bags in the world!

One day I would like one of the very old ones, like from the Bonnie Cashin era, when they were still made in America.

Yes, this. That's what i wanted to say. But all i could think was wtf?.!?

professional lawn-cutting/maintenacne services

Wtf? Having flowers and a cared for lawn are intentional status symbols? I learn something new every day here.
