I just saw this ad, this “Men’s Versace Sale” thing on THE OUTNET. Now, I’m not gonna lie, my brain immediately went to “Versace bathrobe, mens, CHEAP.” Because, honestly, who *doesn’t* want to swathe themselves in luxurious, albeit potentially gaudy, Versace terrycloth after a shower? Think of the *vibes*.
THE OUTNET, though? It’s like, the *idea* of discounted designer is always more appealing than the actual reality. I mean, yeah, they *say* “deals on Versace,” but is it *really* going to be a bathrobe? And is it going to be *cheap* cheap, or just “less expensive than a small car” cheap? Big difference.
And then they hit you with the Affirm payment rates. “0–36% APR.” Uh, thanks, but I’m trying to *save* money, not enter into a new financial commitment for, like, a *bathrobe*. A *really nice* bathrobe, sure, but still. That example, the “$800 purchase might cost…” they don’t even FINISH the sentence! Like, dude, just tell me how much I’m gonna get reamed for wearing a fancy towel!
Honestly, I’m picturing it now. Me, in a Versace bathrobe, feeling like a total baller… then I check my bank account and it’s, like, crying. Maybe I should just stick to my ratty old college one. It’s got character, right? (Okay, mostly it has holes, but still.)
The whole “elevate your style” thing feels a bit… pushy. Like, are they implying my current style is *below* elevated? Harsh, THE OUTNET, harsh. I mean, I’m perfectly happy in my comfy t-shirt and jeans. But, you know, a Versace bathrobe WOULD be cool. Wouldn’t it?
