Why Does This Shirt Cost $1,300 ?
Evidently there is some brouha over Melania Trump wearing a 1300 dollar shirt to do "gardening" at the White House.
A 2017 photo of Melania Trump wearing a $1,300 Balmain shirt whilst gardening in the White House Garden is making the rounds again, quickly achieving meme status on Twitter .
Everyone rounded on the First Lady's choice of gardening attire and stance, with model and author Chrissy Teigen joking that Melania's shoes are unbelievably clean for someone who's doing a spot of gardening.
'These look exactly like my workout soles. because i work out as much as this chick gardens,' Teigen tweeted.

==================
Seriously, she should go to Macy's or something similar and buy a similar looking shirt for 65 or 75 dollars and give the other $1250 to her favorite charity , and save her soul.

And people wonder why there is "class warfare".
They can stop wondering as I have the answer. The reason why is jealousy.
Dean, she should go to Macy's or something similar and buy a similar looking shirt for 65 or 75 dollars and give the other $1250 to her favorite charity , and save her soul.
I beg to differ. Chrissy Teigen is anything but destitute. She has her own money, she didn't marry into it [although she married into a buttload of it]. Jealousy is far different than pointing out the obvious. Melania is not enviable. She's to be sympathized with, but she's not enviable. Melania may have modeled as well, but I don't believe Chrissy modeled girl-on-girl nudes.
Because articles like this make bucks for the "Media" ….and the SEEDER perpetrates those Buck proliferations !
Car's can cost more than actual homes, yet people buy them anyway !
Who REALLY gives a FUCK !
Took the left from 2017 to now to get a "brouha" going over this latest piece of silliness? Must be a slow day in liberal la-la land.
As if rightwingers don't get their daily set of "memes" to spread often right after "Fox and Friends" is over. Do they think they're invisible?
That seems obvious to me but I can math...
And here I thought $20 for a concert T-shirt was outrageous.
I stopped buying them when even the knockoffs sold in the parking lot were $20.
$13 or $1,300, it probably cost $20 to make, $3 of that going the sweat shop worker who made it.
If you can't wear a 1300 dollar flannel shirt to go gardening, where can you wear it?
To a function with Paul Manafort wearing his $15k ostrich jacket, of course.
I wore my Hugo Boss suit whilst driving my John Deere...does that count. On second thought it might have been my Carthartt farm casual.
Omigawd, that's friggin' great!
I call it ''casual farm elegance''...
I just purchased a pair of the cutting edge of farm fashion, ''muck out boots''....The cattle really moo when I show up in them.
"casual barnyard chic" was too much?
Actually not enough...LOL
That moo-ved me too!
Okay, you've made me laugh/snort twice this morning. It's okay if I laugh. People like that. It's also okay if I snort. People really like that. But when I combine the two, people laugh at that.
I think everybody should get a quality pair of muck out boots or as the Brits call them "wellies"
Even the real British wellies are only $150.00 on Zappos.
I can see spending maybe $100 on a flannel blouse but that thing must be made from the hair of an extinct goat to be worth $1300. Her gloves and knees aren't dirty and she doesn't have pruners in her hand so she can't be gardening.
I hope that it wasn't more than $30.00.
Why does that shirt cost $1300? Who knows? I don't know why Hillary's ugly pats suit cost $12,000.00 either.
Well at least the Trumps bought them with their own money... It's not like they made it all on the coattails of their public service position by creating a bogus charity and taking $500,000 bribes...er, I mean "speaking engagements".
Pretty sure we all know how Hillary pays for $12,000.00 pant suits.
BTW. At least the Trumps are getting some work done in their $1300.00 shirts.

I know where Trump got his money. Would you like to explain the Clinton's wealth based on the salaries of the public office they hold and their other"jobs"?
WHO's divorced from reality?
Possibly, the one who married into the Trump Hoax News BS
The Clinton foundation was triple A rated
Trumps was closed due to him pocketing the donations
Tell that to the people of Haiti pal.
Y
do you Haita the truth ?
Speaking of foreigners, America's First Lady is a Ukrainian witch isn't odd considering she married a Vulgarian...
Who would ever believe a poor girl from Ukraine could grow up to marry The Original Short Fingered Vulgarian?
Now to find herself married to The King of Vulgaria must seem like a dream cum true. A Cinderella story of olde.
You DO? How?
Clinton release 8 years of her tax returns in 2015, go look them up. The sources for their income are all listed. Here, I'll start you off:
Well unless you can show proof of how you KNOW where Trump got his money, it's pretty obvious.
He earned it the ole fashioned way,
he screwed people out of it
then doesn't have the cohonies to show his tax returns, yea, nuttin to C hear
Tons of it came from stiffing contractors, bilking friends and using his Trump Foundation to pay off hookers, porn stars and sleaze merchants.
[oh, this ought to be good for a laugh] So, where DID Scumbag get his money, 96?
[Okay, I've made the popcorn and I'm making mojitos; come sit next to me!!!]
The Clintons used public office positions to gain their wealth and had whores working for them, that's supposed to be better?
She is supposed to represent the people of the US instead of playing Marie Antionette while many people in the US go hungry, can't afford a roof over their head or necessary care.
Donald Trump has been a crook his entire life.
Kharma is already getting Trump. His wife spent over a grand of his money on a $19.99 Dickie's work shirt...
You can get a stylish flannel work shirt for *9.99 on Amazon butt it is not the highest quality like a Dickie's is.
My guess it the First Lady gets kickbacks from the toni stores where she squanders millions of looted dollars...
Vlad Putin is reputed to be the world's first trillionaire. That is why Trump adores him. Trump wants to be #2.
Ha! Trump is Putin's #2. Can't you practically hear Trump serenading Putin singing, "I wanna be like you Vlad. I wanna be like you. I want steal like you. I wanna kill like you. I wannt be like you ohh ohh". Trump's is a true case of hero worship.
Good points.
Probably thousands of times
Well, you know what the super rich say? "A billion here and a billion there, before long you're stealing real money"...
I was sorta talking about her having to buy real Dickies as well
god knows,
probably every one else as well
You can get a perfectly nice work blouse on L.L. Bean, Cabelas, or Duluth Trading for $50.00 but this was a fashion show in the garden.
You know that Trump's foundation was a 'bogus charity', right? RIGHT? There is ongoing litigation because of the fraudulent use of charitable funds by Trump for his own gain.
Oh and as for speaking fees, here you go:
You guys like dailycaller right?
Trump uses "charity" to pay his personal legal expenses
We do know where Scumbag couldn't get any money in the last 20 years. From US banks.
Absolutely, unequivocally true. Stupid schmuck never even pays his lawyers.
Seems that some Trump haters are looking for more reasons to be petty and outraged. Taxpayers don't pay for First Ladies' clothing and accessories.
I remember you and mags being outraged that Michelle wore a sleeveless dress. That was around the same time you posted that big ol' honkin' Pizzagate article. Remember that ... jasper? And do you remember being outraged because Ashley Judd was rumored to be running for senate and you had a cow because she had appeared topless in movies? Or did you forget that ... jasper?
And do you remember the outrage exhibited when Michelle Obama wore flats, jasper?
I never understood the uproar over his wearing a brown suit once.
You mean the kind we're seeing from the right now?
And I amplified what you meant. No charge.
Funny coming from you.
Since when did they need a reason?
We don't have to look. Scumbag, and family, keep giving them to us. I do appreciate that one of your lot admitted that trumphumpers not only don't care that he's a lying sack of shit but actually admire him for it.
Why Does This Shirt Cost $1,300 ?
The short answer I would suppose, is because there are folks silly enough to pay that much for a shirt.
I just saw the trailers for a new show that highlights the most expensive items on earth. There is a drink that costs $ 75,000. It just shows that if you have the money, you will spend it on stuff that the majority of people would never ever consider buying.
My baby is growing up!!! You gotta trade out your current avatar for the baby one. Omigawd. I loved that baby picture.
My sweetheart's baby pictures also make me melt. Holy crap ... he was the happiest baby ever. Every single picture of him as a baby has him smiling like no tomorrow. There's one where he's standing grasping the end of his crib with eyes shining and giggling. My heart gets so huge! And the crib had the three little piggies and the big bad wolf on it. The wallpaper was adorable too.
God forbid that any of these uber rich people go to someplace like, gasp, JC Penney's, Wal-Mart, Costco or, Sears for a shirt and, spend much less, I mean they need those tax cuts so that they can afford to buy their shirts!
I am betting that you got identical shirts from Sachs and KMart, they would look identical but differ in price dramatically.
I wouldn't shop at Sachs, I'm Scottish and, Irish, I pinch every penny until it surrenders in writing.
Why is it any of anyone else's business where they spend their money?
Easy answer, it isn't. The jealous and small minded spend their time being upset about things like this (the picture was from 2017....amazed it took that long for the left to get upset about it).
I think she looks cute in that shirt.
Remember this?
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
I thought we had an agreement.
deleted I was answering Spikegary's comment on who's business it was, I simply showed him that the Right has the same problem, especially when it comes to Michelle Obama. deleted
Well, hell. I thought I was being polite. If I'm gonna get dinged for it, then I should say what I really think of those who are ... well ... intellectually gypped. I mean, you gotta admit it's apparent when someone's synapses don't connect.
This cracks me up. Melania wearing a $1300 shirt is bad but Michelle wearing a $600 pair of sneakers is acceptable.
C'mon man, you won't see either of these ladies shopping at Kohls, Walmart or TJ Max like most Americans.
Damn, i doubt i spend $1300 a year on clothes and footwear for myself but then again i am a guy. I spend more on booze and cigars than i do on clothes.
Back to the topic, the question was: "Why does this shirt cost $1,300.?"
Answer: "There's a sucker born every minute."
(or, if that doesn't apply, the answer is - "It wasn't made in China".)
And why did the Trumps install gilded toilets in the White House?
Unfortunately the image didn't open.
As for your question - I sure as hell don't know why, nor do I care.
