It's good to know I'm not alone! I've always been fashion impaired. If I have to go somewhere important, usually my mother consults on attire - in some cases this extends to outright buying things for me because I have Nothing Suitable.
Here's my take on the initial argument:
The shirts were described as being poorly made. I haven't seen them, so I really have no idea if this is true or not.
Poorly made goods are my bugaboo. I have so many silly hobbies that I can't possible begrudge anyone their very expensive shirt. UNLESS the shirt is poorly made - seems ripping out, patterns don't match where they should, pieces that should be cut on grain or bias not cut that way, etc... Not a design issue, but an assembly issue.
I can accept that this is not an issue for some people. And for all I know it's the height of fashion to have a blown seam or dragging hem.
But it still causes me to channel my grandmother and make disapproving noises because I'll never understand the attraction.
And then I remind myself that my family saves Pringles cans to store various bits of things and thus is likely not a good source of fashion advice.
