The True Cost of a $15 Dress vs a $80 Dress – 3-Year Cost Per Wear
I bought the $15 dress. Faded after one wash. Seam came loose after two. Got maybe four wears before I stopped reaching for it.The $80 dress hurt to buy. Three years later, I still wear it everywhere. Same color. Same fit. No loose threads.The cheap dress made me feel guilty every time I saw it in my closet. The expensive one just works. I don't think about it at all.That peace of mind? Worth the extra sixty-five dollars.
