Well-dressed lady, after explaining that her friend made her sweater
(which, though fuzzy and warm and perfectly nice, was nothing more
complicated than a loosely knit, shapeless, white wool shrug sweater that
shed everywhere, leaving a white wool Hansel and Gretel trail and
continuously encircling her in a halo of white fuzz): She sells them at [an upscale store]. Don't buy
them there, though. They're expensive. If you know her you can get them
for the wholesale price.
Me: For how much?
Her: $250
Me: How much is the regular price???
Her: $850.
Me: Ohmygoodness! I don't think I've ever spent even $250 on an article of clothing in my life!
Her: Oh. You and I are very different then.
Since I wore a $4.50 thrift-store skirt to The Cutting Room last
night as part of my cute, hip, night-out outfit, this is probably a safe
bet. But more importantly, I'm clearly looking into the wrong places to
sell my handmade jewelry. Is this expensive shedding thing a trend? If
my necklaces shed beads as you walk, does the price go up?? Because I
made a necklace that keeps losing tiny wire bead droplets -- so... if
anyone wants to give me $850 for it, I'm cool with that....
