No Sense of Proportion Required

Just when I was feeling guilty about replacing my threadbare green silk purse with something (okay, several somethings--I had trouble choosing) more hard-wearing and squashable, it's the NY Times to the rescue! Today's style section has a feature on affordable foreign fashion. But "affordable" is in the eye of the beholder, with the feature's author blithely declaring that you "won't have to skip your morning latte" to buy a $154 t-shirt or a $170 pair of jeans.

I just have one question. How much does your latte cost?
