Reader Comment- A $500 Sweater?
Yesterday I mused about wanting to spend too much money on a piece of software.
Last night I noticed this comment from Matt, who has become a regular visitor here in Berne's World:
"I believe I left my willpower at the Barney's counter where I paid $500 for a Theory hooded sweater.
But you better believe I'm wearing that damn thing every day!"
I had to chuckle, because based on what I know from his blog, he's also 23 and in need of employment. $500 for a sweater makes my desired purchase seem like a bargain. Still, I'll hold out a few weeks.
Oh the things we impulse buy...
That must be one hell of a sweater!

I cannot believe paying that much for a sweater! Call me old-fashioned...I guess...or cheap!
In my defense, I was employed at the time I purchased the sweater. Also, it is possibly one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own, and I was having a really shitty day when I bought it and needed an impulse buy. But yeah, I do recognize the excessiveness of it. I guess I shouldn't mention my twice-in-a-row visit to the Barney's sale in August, or the fact that I receive postcards from salespeople at Bergdorf....
