Conspicuous consumption is the practice of buying large amounts of flashy stuff you don't need and can't actually afford for the express purpose of "looking wealthy."

Conspicuous consumption is to "good consumption" as pseudo-intellectuals are to actual scholars.

It's like chugging a $100 bottle of wine or taking shots of single malt scotch, wasteful, unnecessary, and disdained by everyone who appreciates the product for the art instead of the price.

Don't really understand all the hate for 123abc123.

I don't really like the N&F denim (and can't really see the hi-tops in the first pic to make a judgment), but other than that everything looks alright. If he hadn't posted the labels, I doubt it would have gotten any significant criticism here.

Sorry about the dark colors washing out. I just got a Droid and I haven't quite figured out how to take great pictures yet.

Shoes look nice, although it's hard to tell. What are they?

Can't say I'm a fan. Buy a pair of Grenson Kirks and say that's what they were the whole time and you were just joking

They're very "MC" which looks weird with an otherwise SW&D fit

I'm not really a fan, when all I could see was the shape I thought the vamp looked nice... but I don't like moc toes or splits
