Haha, I'm lucky to get a year out of a good pair of white shoes, and that's IF I wash them and apply whitener and conditioner occasionally. Discoloration isn't the only problem either... all the walking I do at college means shoes start showing wear and tear before you know it.
I agree that you get what you pay for, but you're not going to catch me in Abercrombie or some other clothing store at the mall paying 500% of what the item is really worth. If I can find the same exact shirts on Ebay or in some place where they are gently used, I will buy them there and save BIG. I buy my pants at Kohl's usually because I can find jeans/khakis there that look just as good as anything from somewhere else more expensive. I have actually bought RL wholesale, and let me tell you, the retail price is nowhere NEAR what the shirts actually cost to make, and this is usually the case. I am also very aware that many of the "name-brand" items on Ebay are fakes, but I care not... if it fits me and looks real, and I paid very little for it, fine by me.
