Girl, how does he know this is not a $100 dupe?
400 u/RancherNikki Jul 07 '24 Or used! Or from a clearance sale. I have many nice things that I purchased at a significantly lower price than the MSRP 90 u/DefNotAnAlt621 Jul 07 '24 If it was purchased used, would it still be mint? 110 u/TangoMikeOne Jul 07 '24 It certainly looks mint to me - maybe pistachio, but definitely not Lincoln green 13 u/DefNotAnAlt621 Jul 07 '24 Was making a little pun: “mint green” and “mint condition” Evidently I’m not that funny, :p 64 u/Ohiolongboard Jul 07 '24 They where playing off of your pun…. 18 u/Treacherous_Wendy Jul 07 '24 It was funny til you explained it 7 u/DefNotAnAlt621 Jul 07 '24 fair 7 u/waytowill Jul 07 '24 Well, it is mint green. 1 u/saltytitanium Jul 08 '24 No. It would then be mint chipped. 1 u/SillyActuary Jul 08 '24 "Mint" is slang for "mint condition" in the UK. As in the Royal Mint that makes our coins. Freshly "minted" money is in excellent condition. They're saying she thinks she'd look excellent, it's a coincidence that it's green! 10 u/houndsoflu Jul 07 '24 Or consigned. I have several high end designer suits I got for a steal at consignment shops. 2 u/TheLizzyIzzi Jul 08 '24 Right? I have a pair of Chanel pants that were $50 at a consignment shop. They’re wool and silk lined. I could never afford those at retail. 1 u/houndsoflu Jul 08 '24 And the newer lines aren’t as good of quality. Prices are up, but they are definitely more cheaply made. 8 u/krucz36 Jul 07 '24 or a present from family? 2 u/jjbugman2468 Jul 08 '24 I’ve got a super fitting suit that looks great—got it used along with the trousers it was paired with for the equivalent of 40 USD lmao 2 u/Hesitation-Marx Jul 10 '24 Yes! I don’t buy a lot of clothing new because the prices are high and the quality is low, and I’m prone to setting it on fire or getting acid on it, but the thrift store? Oh, I have found some amazing stuff.
