<p>Sometimes I think descending price search functions exist solely for my own entertainment…</p>

<p>I wonder what the Lorax would have to say about this one. :frowning: The poor truffula trees…</p>

<p>Cute - Looks like something I’d have bought my daughter - when she was about 2 (at walmart or the dollar store)</p>

63

<p>OK - I don’t know the price but they sure qualify for the ugly</p>

<p>finding ugly, expensive stuff at Neiman Marcus is like shooting fish in a barrel.</p>

<p>Oh, goodness! Mr B and I admired these babies at our local Nordstrom last spring. They sold out like hotcakes. :eek:</p>

<p>Gotta love the cowboy flipflops!</p>

<p>I am truly inspired by so many glorious ugly yet expensive options!!! This may not be so glaring, but doesn’t it look EXACTLY like the Bride of Frankenstein’s dress? And, the price tag is steep:</p>

<p>Here’s a designer who just can’t decide what material to use, so let’s use them all: lace, chiffon, silk, tweed & leather! (only $7800, excluding the $570 belt, which is not currently available!)</p>

<p>That tomato dress may be the single most bizarre garment I have ever seen.</p>

<p>I have to ask: how does anyone actually stand up for more than 30 seconds in the Louboutins and other towering stilletos? I mean, the shows with the purple bows are pretty as abstract objects in the mode of shoe, but how can they seriously qualify as actual footwear?</p>

69

<p>So she’s wearing a dress with a skirt over it???</p>

<p>The thing that really surprises me is that that ensemble just doesn’t seem to fit her very well. If I’m going to pay more than $50 for something it should fit like it was made for me. That’s just me though.</p>

<p>When we need a good laugh, D1 & I go into the Neiman Marcus Last Call in the outlet mall near us when we are shopping. The shoe department by itself is worth the trip. Makes me think of the Emperor has no clothes every time! Why do people want to pay ridiculous amounts of money to look so odd and be in so much pain!</p>

71

<p>^^Ah, fun! Saks Off 5th occasionally has some LOL stuff, too. Alas, our Nordie smartened up and no longer carries the outrageous stuff that went directly to the Rack after collecting dust on the flagship store’s shelves for a couple of months.</p>

<p>Gourmetmom, I bet that some goth fashionistas can’t wait for that dress to end up on the clearance rack! ;)</p>

<p>It is time to revive this thread… and vote for the ugliest creations of 2014!</p>

<p>Here is my submission:</p>

<p>It’s on sale!</p>

74

<p>At Walmart?</p>

75

<p>Ewwwww!</p>

76

<p>I can’t get over how expensive these Judith Lieber purses are and IMO almost alll of them are kind of ugly and silly.</p>

77

<p>Well, the revolver purse is starting to seem more reasonably-priced. Who knew?</p>

78

<p>OMG, that punk duck clutch is hilarious. </p>

79

<p>It really is just ludicrous. SMH.</p>

<p>A plastic bag with armholes for $400? What a bargain!</p>
