I actually really like the sweaters and would totally buy one…if it was $30 at Old Navy or Target. $515 even for cashmere is price-gouging.

I think I’ll become ill if I have to see one more photo of a female celebrity sitting on a puffy pillowed couch in a brightly lit room trying to pedal her shit.

That’s what I was thinking as well. Those who can afford that will usually spend it on Gucci or Prada, and not some celebrity’s line.

I’m wearing a t-shirt with two cartoon T-Rexes, and one is saying “I love you this much.” and the other is saying “That’s not very much.” Cos he has tiny little arms. :)
And pyjama pants.

Wow… I own two really nice cashmere sweaters which were around $100 and that I bought at local boutiques. This just sounds insane!

My outfit today:
Sweater (H&M): $20
Long blouse: hand-me down from my aunt
Jeans (Zara): $30
Lacoste shoes: $50

Total: $100

The one day I can’t remember what I spent on my outfit, besides my boots ($65). Normally I remember it but I guess since I’ve had everything else for years and years I’ve just forgotten.

This post makes me want to go shopping…but not for Gwen’s ugly sweaters.

People like me get upset with Gwyneth because she IS trying to sell that stuff to us. That’s the whole thing about GOOP, it’s supposed to be a resource for women everywhere to learn recipes, neat travel destinations, and new fashions, and that’s how she markets it. She calls these sweaters “essentials,” and she calls herself a “working mother” and she thinks every single woman can relate to that and to her, and if they can’t, then they’re beneath her. And that’s annoying.

If she was just selling expensive sweaters, of course I wouldn’t care, and it would be straight up stupid to walk into any store and get pissed if you can’t afford something. But this isn’t that, this is like a store walking up to you, telling you that you need something, and when you say you can’t afford it, the store says that it would rather die than to be like you. And again, that’s annoying.
