Daily Candy thinks I’m rich
I like Daily Candy, don’t get me wrong. Someone sends me an email about things I may not know about around Seattle, and I feel a little cooler when I can tell people that I know these things and they don’t. But I’m usually disappointed when they send me something about fashion/furniture or really anything that would cost me money. I’m not sure if it’s Seattle, or Daily Candy’s fault but all the stores they promote are just crazy, stupid expensive. Do women really buy flats for $400? Or even another silk screen crap t-shirt for $50? It just doesn’t make any sense to me. For a shitty economy, and rent on the rise, and houses not selling and jobs being laid off, how does Daily Candy or all the boutiques in Seattle get the nerve to promote their fancy richie shit? I almost want to strangle them. Then again, I’m one of those girls who would rather put $400 in my IRA every month than into a pair of pointy-toed thingys that’ll only give me blisters if I wear them too long. But maybe that’s just me.
I’m sorry, if you have $400 to put into an IRA every month (presumably post-tax, based on a guess of your age…), you’re doing pretty good and you probably COULD afford a $50 t-shirt.
That fact that you wouldn’t has no bearing on whether you’re wealthy or not. There are MANY others in a similar situation as you that WOULD buy $400 shoes and $50 t-shirts. Those are the people that make Daily Candy money.
A lot of people have a lot of money.
