I already told this to several people, but last Friday, on Metro, I saw a woman wearing Burberry rain boots while carrying a Coach umbrella, a Gucci purse, and a Harrod's tote bag.
All of the above were distinguished by their brand's signature pattern.
My reactions, in order:
1) What are the odds that none of them are knock-offs?
2) Mixing so many status-y labels like that is so de classe -- and so D.C..
3) Shut up, Dara -- your rain boots came from Target.

Oh, that is tacky!
I think the label mixing could be okay -- if it were subdued. For example, carrying a plain black Gucci bag with a Coach umbrella and Burberry rain boots that are lined with the plaid on the inside would look just fine. But what she did was scream "Look at me, I'm a high-end consumer!!!"
Ick.

Rain fashion, ha! I'm with you on the Target stuff.
I'm glad you said Target and not Wal-Mart, uhm, Data.
Sweet: There's just no way I was going to spend a lot of money for shoes that -- get this -- are intended to be worn in rain, snow, ice, and mud. Mine were $19, and they're still kinda cute.
Mad: It's really a matter of convenience: there are a lot more Targets near me than Wal-Marts.
But I'm predisposed to Target anyway. I worked there between college and law school, and then more when I was in law school.
