9 Stupidly Overpriced Things For People Who Like To Waste Their Money

by N/A, 9 years ago | 2 min read

High-end fashion and decorating is pretty counter-intuitive. There's this trend right now in the upper echelons of the decorating and fashion worlds called "shabby chic." Basically, it's crappy stuff (or nice stuff designed to look crappy) that costs a lot of money. If you've ever seen Zoolander, you might think of it as "Derelicte." This comparison is fitting because Shabby Chic is ridiculous and deserves to be parodied.

Fashion Shopping Money Non-Premium

1. A goddamned rusty trashcan that looks like something you'd find in the back alley of a Chinese restaurant costs $100.

I should be offended by this, right?

2. This "bookcase" that we all know is just a glorified tool shelf is $1,600. Yes, it's one thousand and six hundred dollars.

This seems familiar...

Oh right, this is basically like something out of Zoolander.

3. This side table that looks like it's been beaten with a hammer costs $1,100.

4. These shoes come pre-splattered with paint, and they're $525. Ugh.

Nobody said looking poor was cheap.

5. You can literally look like a sack of potatoes for $175 and that is just despicable.

6. How do you feel about paying $3,500 for a hideous dress? Because I don't feel good about it at all.

This dress is selling on Etsy, which is very strange to me. I feel like I could make one of these in like 2 hours tops.

7. This fucking Kanye West t-shirt is $150.

It's not the ugliest thing in the world, but it's a t-shirt, and you can buy one that'll do the job just fine for like $5. Fucking Yeezus.

8. This ugly-ass denim shirt is $715 and that makes me want to vomit.

9. This sea shell-bedazzled fireplace/TV console is extremely offensive to the eyes and it costs $35,000.

I wonder how much the shipping is.

Obviously, I don't understand high-end fashion and decorating.
