Q Talk

Checked my wishlist this morning, and several items went up 2 to 3 dollars. Even clearance items. Go figure.

I was just looking at some of the new Denim and Co jeans. They are over 80.00. Just my opinion, but I feel that is too high for a house brand. I will not be buying these,

I've been shopping Macy's for their great sale prices and quality!

QVC items are also available on ebay, and I just got a top for $11.99, which originally sold for $70 here.  The prices are getting too outrageous, and how many clothes can I possibly wear?

Just purchased an acid wash denim jacket at Forever 21 for $35 on sale, and I wait for the sales at Free People and Anthropologie to get something I like and pay perhaps 1/3 of the original price.

Designers need to realize that we're not making the millions that they are, and don't have country homes and European vacations!

Even the 'As Is' items are pricey!

Welcome to the world we live in now.

Since I've retired, my daily clothing consists of tees and jeans, and I wear joggers or shorts around the house. I love D&C cotton blend bermuda shorts and have started wearing joggers as my pajamas so I can walk outside for my morning coffee. I'll not pay $50 for either joggers or shorts. My tee shirts last a few years, then I refresh them. I'll not pay $50 for a polyester tee shirt; it's hot enough here without wearing plastic. I shopped online this week at Belk, got a 100% cotton v-neck tee for $8.12 (Kim Rogers); this feels more like the D&C shirts I've loved in the past, nice thick fabric that doesn't show all my bumps and lumps. Got a pair of Crown & Ivy joggers for $14. I've not tried this brand before so I wanted to see what they looked like and how they fit. They're perfect and I'll go back to order more...in every color! I don't want to pay $50 for joggers just to run around the house and yard. These are thick and, again, are kind to my lumps. My closet used to be filled with D&C but they're getting pushed aside.

Carolina925, thanks for sharing about Belk! Ours is a little bit a ways, but I'll have to drive out there and check them out.

Not everywhere.  Plenty of places to find reasonably priced, i.e, $20 or less for a t-shirt-, but QVC is not one of them.

@Steffdoggy10   Thanks for reminding me about my wish list.  A pair of D&C linen and rayon pants is now at a "blow out" price of $10.  Ordered immediately!
