    Dear Alexander Wang,

    I get it. I just don't understand why Italian yarn and digital weaving makes your bike shorts any better or more functional than a pair of $10 bike shorts.

    Please enlighten me.

    @PilgrimSoul: You buy a size bigger so that they can wear it for a year, and so that you can layer under it during winter. At least, that's what I do. (But I also buy most of my child's clothes at WalMart and Ross. Cute, rugged, and $4 for jeans.) #stellamccartneyforgapkids

    @PilgrimSoul: One child may only wear the clothing for 6 months, but often, baby clothes are hand-me-downs for that reason. My mother famously purchased exorbitantly expensive clothing for me as a child, but it was then passed down to my sister, and four of my cousins. When you consider it in that way, they can get a lot of wear. That said, I am sure Suri Cruise is not getting hand-me-downs, or giving them to others. It's all relative. #stellamccartneyforgapkids

    @raphaela: I buy most of my son's at Kohl's and Target, but when I wanted something really cute for his Christmas card pictures, I went to Janie and Jack (where I normally never go). I found a ridiculously cute outfit for all of $38. He wore it for his picture, he wore it a few times and his cousin is wearing it this Xmas. Not a bad deal. #stellamccartneyforgapkids

    @Maritsa: Well, in my case at least, better quality. So buying expensive clothing for kids who'll outgrow it in a few months doesn't make sense to me. An expensive dress I'll wear for the next 5-10 years though? Yes. #stellamccartneyforgapkids

    @InABook: Yeah, I don't have any issue with expensive stuff, I buy enough of it myself (mostly bags). I also don't think Gap Kids clothes are some outrageously expensive waste of money or conspicuous consumption. Maybe if you bought every single item in your kids' wardrobe there, but no one I know does that (though I'm sure someone does).

    As many people have pointed out, they are better quality, wear better, and are often handed down. And are not even that expensive! A sweater is probably $38. (Granted the Stella M line is prob more.)

    I've gotten Gap hand-me-downs from friends who got the clothes from other people. They're just better quality than, say, Target's house brand, so they can be re-used. If they're still in good shape, most people give their kids' clothes away when they're done with them, or sell them at a consignment shop.

    I wasn't suggesting people shouldn't buy expensive stuff. I don't give a crap what other people spend their money on. God knows my family thinks I spend too much money on clothes. But if I can afford it, who cares? #stellamccartneyforgapkids

    Wait, people are buying bike shorts? Well, people who do not need bike shorts for utilitarian bike related purposes are purchasing bike shorts? That is equally or more upsetting than people spending $400.00 on bike shorts.

    I really do not understand the concept of "coffee table books". How often do you really have someone sitting on your couch with nothing to entertain them? And isn't that what tv is for? And how do you fit the book on the table around the half full mugs and discarded notebooks and post-its and the books you're actually reading and don't have a shelf for?
    ....or is that just me?

    @colormeroutine: Oh. I've been plonking my mugs of tea straight down on top of the books on handmade Turkish kilims and the great trout fishing lodges of North America. Also, I notice now that there is a forgotten bowl of two-week-old grapes sitting on top of an interesting volume of photographs of Angkor Wat, and a handful of manky tissues lodged behind the dust cover. I am living in filthy squalor. I do not deserve nice things. I do not deserve naked Heidi.

    I conclude that coffee table books bring nothing but shame and sadness.
