Perhaps you are referring to other dresses at Kaight's shop, and not Marchuska's. The $60 t has fine details (great cuffs and epaulettes), which make it more than your average long-sleeved tee. There are short sleeved organic cotton tees for $25 & $30, as well as a beautiful scarf, a blend of organic modal and silk for $50 which all seem quite reasonable to me, considering that these are designer pieces, not mass produced items from a big box store. What I also like is how basic these pieces are, they could be worn just about everywhere and anywhere. There's great value in investing in a versatile, quality item that you'll want to wear as often as you can. I'm not saying you can't find less expensive items, but you sure can find more expensive - especially when it comes to designer wear.

The long sleeved black t-shirt is $60 and most of the dresses on that site are $200+. How about finding something that actually fits the description of affordable for the rest of us who don't have hundreds to spend on 3 items??
