I agree! "The faded look" is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, next to the "designer holes" I've seen cut into new jeans... I grew up on a farm and I could have probably sold my worn out jeans for a fortune!
one of my favorite thrift-store purchases was the cute Calvin Klein t-shirt (not the widely overused/overimitated big cK in the middle) and jeans that, together, cost me less than ten dollars.
and there was also shopping for my junior prom: the dark green ball gown & black velvet boots (which matched the black velvet design on the ball gown's torso) totaling $15, which ironically was the cost of the black feather boa i wore with them.
I figure that people who can afford to spend that much money on clothes don't actually care about how long they'll last, as they'll be buying a new pair next season, anyway.

During my time there I saw the gawdamn stupidest thing EVER.
Cavalli jeans.
Price tag of two hundred plus.
As their tags stated: they were treated with a chemical that would make random parts disintegrate faster when washed.
For the 'distressed look.'
Two hundred-plus-dollar jeans that wear out faster than the ones I can buy at Target for twenty.
Ain't life grand?
