It's one of the abiding mysteries of fashion: Is it really worth paying $1,100 for a white cotton blouse or $750 for one of the turtleneck sweaters we see in high-end stores and magazines?

If the labels fell off, would these basic items still feel like they're worth so much? The question arises more often these days, as stores like Zara and H&M thrive on selling inexpensive fashions that resemble those of high-end designers like Chanel and Dior.

You have seriously got to be kidding. I get my sweaters at second hand or vintage stores for $5 to $15. They're already washed and with a little effort you can easily find the nearly new ones. I can get 3 wonderful outfits for well under $100 and garner lots of compliments.
