American's can't dress?

8 years ago

So I am told American's can't dress by a Colombian man and his wife while having some drinks recently.

As I sit in my $9.99 t-shirt from Target and my jeans, a modest $150 and my sneakers, a modest $125, this man wearing a (Lacoste everything from head to toe) starting with a Lacoste hat, shirt, jeans with Lacoste printed down the thigh, belt, shoes.....ALL Lacoste and knock-off mind you from El Centro.

His wife? A shirt that said New York City across chest and belly, rips in the shoulder, knock off Michael Kors bag and shoes, fake gold watch of some sort, 36" heels (not really but you get the gist). Her jeans had Rhinestones all over her ass pockets. Gross.

They continued to judge American's by what they wear by pointing out who they believed to be from USA by what they were wearing. But wait, isn't pointing rude here lol.

My shoes alone cost more than their dinner, their clothes and their fake jewelry.

Ok, so what, you dress yourself in knock offs and judge others. Makes no sense.
