This is some sort of sick joke, right?

I would love to buy the Bambi shirt. If the MSEP one didn't have the bedazzling all over it I'd buy that one too. But not for what they cost. Even if I had $140 to drop on a shirt right now the quality isn't worth it.

You can pay $20 for a pair of jeans at ON, or $120 for a pair of Sevens for All Mankind. But you expect better than ON quality at the Sevens price.

For me it's all about the quality. I don't expect something I pay $60+ for to last me a season. And yes, I have clothing that I have paid $100+ for, and it's still in great shape 5 years later. Does anyone really think that those shirts will last more than a season?

Well, yes, from that point of view, I am glad they livened things up a bit with those. Just look at the reactions it has brought to this thread?

And honestly, I was getting pukey sick with all of the same styles and the kiddie stuff. I don't have any kids anymore {although they say I do

} and too much pink is beginning to turn my stomach. Aside from stopping and our group commenting and scoffing at the prices, there wasn't much in the store that caught our eye. So from that perspective, yes, push the envelope.

But, the cost, aye, does it have to follow? Is that a given these days?

And, yep, BTD, I agree with the quality/cost issue. I vaguely recall handling those shirts

and they were pretty thin. I have a QOTSA shirt of the same material and I have to take special care of it. A 't-shirt'.

While the glitter wearing off will have a cool appeal it will be a pi$$er if you aren't in to that sort of thing.
