I'm simply stating my opinion. I personally don't care what it is that a person is "rocking", be it overly priced jeans or shoes for that matter, it's not something that I would waste MY money on. If I didn't own a house and had money to blow, then maybe I'd burn my money on "rocking" material things. I'm a big girl now with responsibilities and buying $200 jeans (or whatever else one excessively spends money on) is not on the top of my list of priorities.
Again, JMHO.
I DO know people who just buy things to impress others, and was not directing this at EVERYONE who spends money on expensive things.
You're going way off-topic with this post.
This post is not about spending habits.
the question has nothing to do with spending money

It will be a cold day in hell when I choose fashion over function.
I'm not out there to look better than someone else, and I don't give two $hits if you have designer jeans or not.
It's called "DOWN TO EARTH".
Again, JMHO!!!
wrong post to try to make your point.
i don't think designer jeans would fall in the uncomfortable category.
and there are plenty of pointy-toed shoes in target
agreed. not sure what your point is- is it maybe spending too much money on high end goods is a waste?
anyway, i dont look good to impress othesr, i look good to impress myself!
that makes ME feel good if I think I look good.
and if im rocking Joes jeans or Forever 21 jeans its all the same- as long as they feel good, are flattering and comfortable, i still call that function.
to both replies
I think what the girls are saying is that the amount of money spent on an item is irrelevant.
I totally see the point you're making...
In my opinion, fashion = high priced. Look at the topics posted on this thread. I never once have seen anyone talk about their fashionable Old Navy clothes or pumps... It always goes back to Michael Kors or other big names like that.

Agreed.
it was over looking good vs being comfortable (obviously, we try to do both all the time) but in the end- which one will carry more weight when you're debating on buying/wearing something.
i dont disagree with what you're saying about cost, but bring your platform to another thread- it has nothing to do with what we're talking about here.

exactly.
you can also buy $200 sweat pants for function
or buy $5 shirt for fashion.
this post is not about money.

Fashion doesn't mean high price
and function to doesn't mean low price
example- North Face Jacket- Function and expensive
example- Forever 21 jacket with faux fur trim- fashion and cheap

why dont you look at the posts then. i posed all this stuff i bought at forever 21- 10 items for $100
or the jeans someone got at marshalls
you shouldnt make such blanket statements like that
you can go to target and if you have a good eye for fashion come out with an amazing outfit, even more well put together than someone who blew $5000 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Its about HOW to dress not how MUCH you spend.

No, but you're not correct with that. I didn't miss the point of the question, I chose to go there. I will get my thread-etiquette handbook next time and be sure to "follow the rules".
Nah, better yet, I'll POST a new thread.
Seriously ladies, don't waste another minute on this discussion. It was simply a statement that has been dragged on. Carry on with your conversation about fashion v. function.

i LOVED that thread. Honestly- that's what i love about this board. Yes, people buy expensive labels, but many also mimic the style at a more affordable price. i loveeee Prok's fashion threads though (i totally jock your style   ).. but, my problem is that, no matter how CHEAP or Expensive something is... even if it looks awesome, if its not completely comfortable, i can't wear it.
THAT was the point of this thread.

I was referring to the point that you said I wasn't correct about MISSING THE POINT OF THE THREAD.

you did miss the point of the thread. if you've read any of my posts, you'll see that i'm the last one to spend alot on anything. This post was about fashion Vs Function. as others have posted examples (which you clearly ignored), you'd see that it has absolutely NOTHING to do with PRICE... but, thats how you choose to interpret it.

Re: Fashion Vs. Function
Posted by MrsPorkChop
well pretty function
i dont buy things i dont "need" or wont wear or just because its in style.
i buy because i need it or itwill add to my wardrobe and fits right
so i guess thats function
Not to get back ON TOPIC, but.....
I guess I follow with Melissa's take on it.
I buy things that are "fashionably functional".
I like to be in fashion, but don't need to be. I also like to be comfortable (but have admittedly suffered at times).
But regardless if I choose fashion over function, or vice versa, it never has anything to do with how much I spend on it!

Re: Fashion Vs. Function
I've learned that I need to choose function over fashion, because when I wear uncomfortable shoes or whatever I look like an IDIOT because all I do is fidget or limp or pull at my clothes all day.
I just can't smile when my feet are being mauled by a cute pair of pointy heels. That's why I'm so in love with my red leopard flats.
