	Since when is Ralph Lauren's clothes cheap?!
$100 to $300+ for a sweater is just too much for me!
And most of his clothes is sportswear. I can't see me
wearing his cute sweaters and shorts to work.
	Women's clothing manufacturers have sacrificed
quality for variety. It is still possible to get good
clothing for reasonable prices; you just have to look
harder. I personally don't wear out clothes too often.
I get bored with them before they fall apart.
 	What bothers me the most is that men have to 
buy a very limited amount of clothes. How much variety
is there in shirts, slacks and ties? Women, though, are
expected to wear dresses, blouses, slacks, sweaters,
pantyhose (and don't fool yourself; this is no little
expense), shoes to match, pocketbooks, jewelery, makeup....
The list goes on and on. I'm getting rather sick of
spending a lot of money for a diverse wardrobe. So
I've stopped spending the money. In a way, I feel I
finally got my priorities straight. There is an 
awful lot of beautiful clothes out there that I'd
like to own and wear, but I can't bring myself to pay
the price any longer.
