Juicy Couture, you go too far. I am all for lush, plush items of all varieties, but I had to laugh when I recently saw an ad for a $68 pair of Juicy Couture crochet knit pair of slippers. The word “homely” comes to mind.
First, they looked like something my grandma could whip up with her plastic canvas and yarn on a cold Saturday afternoon. Second, they don’t even look comfortable, they have a hard plasticky looking inside, not like a real slipper at all. Three, um, the price!?!?
Granted, I typically spend between $6 and $8 on a pair of slippers, so $68 just blows my mind. I guess if I were a celebrity and had money to just sort of spread about, I may buy a pair, but I can think of a lot of other things I’d rather do with $68.
