Making TopShop Your Bitch, Part 1

TopShop’s coming, TopShop’s COMING!!! I’m uber psyched. Mostly because they refer to jumpers as Playsuits, which I find totally endearing.

These Playsuits each retail for forty-five pounds. While I doubt they’ll be among TopShop’s Fall Collection, that’s not the point. The point is that forty-five pounds is not forty-five dollars. This brings us to Part 1.

Making TopShop Your Bitch, Part 1 - Pounds Do Not Equal Dollars
It seems more than obvs, I know. But if you’re going to brave the hordes of frenzied fashionistas at their Soho opening, you must first understand and accept that forty-five pounds is the equivalent of eighty-seven American dollars and forty-seven American cents. Again, 45 lbs (what, I don’t have a pound sign) = $87.47. That’s right, friends - almost double.

The only Topshop I’ve ever seen up close were crappy leftovers from the Kate Moss line at Barney’s Scarehouse Sale, so I can’t honestly comment on whether or not the posh quality and design is worth its cost. But you can bet your tush that I’ll be at the store on the day it opens to find out. Stay tuned.
