fashion?
I’ve been sick the last couple days (flu/cold, take your pick) and so my email has accumulated. I was tackling it today and saw one that said: “48 Nine West clearance styles”. I have NO idea if Nine West is cool or not anymore, but I clicked on it. Therein, I saw this:
I tilted my head this way and that, trying to figure out just what in the hell this was! At the price, I thought…shoes that torture your feet? A box of some sort, some weird vase? No…they are bangles…wooden bangles for just shy of $250.00.
W…T…H…??? Am I that out of it? Would YOU wear something like this? Are these just a joke on women? It looks like those torture blocks they used back in the pirate days, to close over your neck and hands and put you on display.
Strange days indeed…

My first thought was that they were napkin holders (very spendy napkin holders). I can’t see myself wearing such doodads, I’m not girly-girl enough. But the best part has to be the previous price. $550? Really?
Hope you feel better soon.

Are you joking? I can’t get Hubby to spring for a cheeseburger, let. alone jewelry!

I’m with Deborah, I thought they were napkin rings, too. What a ridiculous price!!!

My husband could make those. But why? They’re hideous.

That’s crazy.
Also, I just found out that napkin rings were never intended to be for dinners you serve for company — they are so individual family members can keep track of their napkins and re-use them.

I hope you feel better!!

LOL I thought they were napkin holders too – I’ve paid a lot for silly things but $225 for a chunk of wood with a hole in it……no thanks.

I thought they were rings, actually. I’m not a bracelet wearer but even if I was the chance of me buying a $250 bracelet is pretty freaking slim.

That’s just ridiculous. There must be an extra digit there somewhere…

OMG I thought you were building something – they are out of their mind! Hope you’re feeling better.

No idea, what they are, but I do find some Nine West things pretty cute.
Mine was a bad cold, but I am on the mend now–hope the same is true for you.

Crazy ! can only be a man who has invented this, you couldn’t even sign a paper with such a thing at your arm ! But as a self defense weapon it might be OK !

I know there is a joke about models and round pegs/square holes in there somewhere, I just can’t come up with it yet.

I’m thinking of running down to the local lumberyard and digging through their dumpster. Looks like there’s big money in scraps! Hope you’re all better by now. Waving at you wildly from New York
