Warm, versatile and most importantly, cropped. Eighties!
Another new retail goodie that ended up donated. I know it’s new for two reasons: It’s in excellent condition, and the tag’s been snipped out. Companies spend ludicrous amounts on image-related PR – they can’t have people like me snagging their marked-up, unsold merch at Goodwill and telling everyone about it, so they snip out the tags as a means of maintaining whatever power they think their brand has. How do I know this top is RUEHL No. 925 in spite of its snipped out tags?
Because they missed one. Nice try though, corporate buzz-killers. Better luck next time.
tags: 
They also snip the tags so that people won’t fraudulently return them to a retail store asking for a full-price refund.
perhaps, but in this case the retail in question is RUEHL No. 925 – a line that went belly-up six months ago. kinda tough to fraudulently return something to a store that no longer exists. thank you for playing.
I love the raw, honest tone of your blog and of course I love the fashion finds.

Tags may also be snipped at the factory if the item is considered damaged or defective. It lets companies recoup some costs on the garment in other markets without adversely affecting brand image.
