"Fashion" has officially become completely ridiculous.
In honor of Starbucks' 40th birthday, a designer is charging $85 for T-shirts that look like you spilled coffee on them.
Yup ... you could do that for free.
Designer Alexander Wang, who was asked to create a limited-edition garment for the anniversary, told InStyle magazine that his inspiration was "what everyone tries to avoid -- spilled coffee on a T-shirt."
We can't even tell you how many work days we completely ruined when we spilled coffee on ourselves by accident, then felt gross the whole day. Why would we do this on purpose, let alone spend $85 for the experience?
The concept is undeniably clever, but for $85, we kind of think the joke is on the suckers who buy the shirt.
However, the shirt is part of Starbucks' support for the CFDA/VOGUE FASHION FUND, which helps support emerging and aspiring fashion designers.
Still interested? The shirt, which also features the signature Starbucks mermaid, is available at StarbucksStore.com and at Nordstrom.

But thank you. That was a flattering comment. I'm one girl that isn't all about looks and high priced items. I know what truly matters and how to hunt those bargains! Mama didn't raise no fool! (Yes, I'm a dork and know it)
I hope you find someone just as wonderful and perfect for you :)
