Okay we’re uber busy today with actual work (trag!) but something has been seriously bothering us. What is with J.Crew’s jewelry price inflation? Their jewelry is out of control expensive.
I shall illustrate.
exhibit a.
The Double-Strand Giraffe Necklace. Now, I know everyone loves an even-toed ungulate, I sure as hell do. But, $150? I don’t know. Where’s the respect? We humor you by purchasing the latest favorite tanks at full-on $16.50 even though we know they’ll be down to $4.99 in three weeks. Why must you taunt us J.Crew? Why must you string the heads of random artiodactyls on gray beads and pretend it’s worth $150?
And this I can’t even talk about:
exhibit b.
J.Crew, you can keep showing this on every model, in every picture, on every page, but we’re not buying it. In no universe is that lump of blue plastic and faux gold that will rub off in days actually worth $150. I’m sorry. No, don’t cry, J.Crew. This is called tough love. Mommy still loves your adore sour lemon suede peep toes!
This said, we guarantee we’ll be the first to snap up the ol’ Giraffe Double-Strand the moment it plummets to Final Sale status.
