These are some crazy cool shoes, but not for $98.
Why are cool clothes so expensive Mad

yeah, free people has always been pretty pricey. you can still get cool clothes, just gotta look a little harder. i personally find it more fun, rather than shopping where the "in fashion" is all layed out, going to thrift stores, or random stores and making a style all of my own.

I looks like one of those pewter figurines you can get at a craft shop. For way less than $250. Like of wizards and eagle talons holding marbles and such.

i think its kinda funny how companies generalize a certain culture and then sell that "culture" to rich people for 10 times the normal price; and the rich people actually buy that stuff (seeing as how they're too good to go to a thrift store.) Very Happy

Well, some thrift store thrive on the fact that "vintage" is in now, and they are charging so much more than they should.

I just go to goodwill.

Eek. That is very pricey.
I'd much rather be creative and try to make my own.
