Re: $75 for a blouse???????????

[ Edited ]

What people buy is limited by their available funds and their need for the garment.  The cost needs to be within a person's means but most people have probably bought blouses (say, silk blouses) for S100 or more,

 

Don't know that there is any arbitrary cut off point.  If I am hunkered down paying for something (as I am right now for wind storm insurance in FL), I don't buy anything.

 

If I have had a great pr of flattering jeans or pants, and saw a blouse that would be good with them, I'd buy it if I could afford it.  Otherwise, said the spider, I lie back in my web and wait for the sale.  I am a real bargain hunter. and will trail a garment I need until I can afford it. 

 

Edited to add, I agree with the posters who say it's worth it for silk.  I have many silk blouses from 25 years ago, still great looking.  I have sensitive skin, and silk suits it, so I am never scratching or itching in silk.  The expense is worth it.

The only way I'd pay that for a blouse, it would have to come in petite sizing!

Not me.  I buy by style and color.  I rarely have an issue with anything I buy even if the price is under $20.
