Haha, that's pretty funny. I'm trying to restrain myself from agreeing, haha. But yeah, her sister needs to pay back somehow, and not by beating her up or something (because then her sister will come up with other terrible things to do to her). She should make her compensate for the money.

Uhm...I LOVE my jeans from Abercrombie and before you go hating on me spending $80 on one pair of jeans, they are the most comfortable and durable pair of blue jeans I own. The $30 pairs from other stores fell apart long ago while 4 years later, my Abercrombie jeans are going strong. Ps. I agree that people shouldn't buy clothes for the brand name but for their fit, comfort, AND style. People DO judge based on appearance and so it is important to find clothes that are comfortable, durable, in your own price range, and are at least relatively in style.

Yes, some people DO judge on appearances--a lot of people see the AE or Hollister label and assume "douche." =)

Uhm, why does everyone have to bash on other people's clothing? I understand that people will judge you on appearance (dressed sloppily/properly, revealing/conservative clothing, comfy/high-maintenance, etc...), but the actual clothing brands should not matter. I personally would not spend any more than $15 on a pair of jeans, but if someone does, I don't care. If someone likes it and is willing to spend more money for it, then good for them. I think it's ridiculous how all of you are judging each other based solely on where you get your clothes. There's more to a person than just their clothes. Get to know people first before you judge them. The bigger issue here is the fact that the sister disrespected her sister and ruined $300 worth of clothing, and I definitely think she should figure out a was to repay her and apologize for being rude.

People just like to complain about ANYTHING, the ops clothing brand choice is a easy target for them. If someone wants to buy a brand they like, that's there right to do so so these "nonconformist" need to stfu about the ops brand choices. I mean really "ydi for liking ae and hollister" people are just being idiots. I'm sure if someone cut up $300 worth of THIER clothing, they wouldn't think that they deserved it. People need to respect other peoples property. So if I want to spend $100 on a lucky brand hoodie, I will gosh darn it, don't be jelous :) personally I like to spend my money on a nice coach purse but I will occasionally go to the outlets to indulge in nicer brand clothing.

*somewhat, not someone lol

Waste? What gives you the right to determine something a waste or not? The clothing had worth to the OP, and she wanted it so it wasn't a waste. But seriously, if her sister had any respect for other people's things, this wouldn't have happened.

I'm sorry, but it jut seems like a waste to me, I'm only saying it was a waste because that's my opinion.

Maybe, it wasn't just jeans and a hoodie. Maybe she got them on sale, and it doesn't necessarily mean that she bought them all in one day. I know that if I look in my closet I can find more than $300 worth of clothes and it's been over the years. And, no, I do not shop AE or Hollister since there aren't really any of their stores near me, I think, either way, I don't care. I do agree on one part, the OP's sis did not have any right. :/

Yeah, I agree with #149. It could have been on sale. Either way, $300 worth of stuff is still $300, and that was incredibly impolite of her sister to do. She could have voiced her opinion, but she didn't have to shred her clothing and make her upset like that...

well she might not have bought it at the store itself, i mean ae and hollister stuff last pretty long, and it is usually very nice fabric. if i found it somewhere else for very cheap, i would buy it. Its like saying spending money on good furniture that will last is bad when you can buy like ikea furniture, and while ikea has good stuff, i have also experienced that other furniture may last longer.

um 300 dollars is actually alot to spend, and you spelled clothes wrong. if u are 19 with a job yourself, like op said she was, and im guessing she is in college, that is alot of money for anything. you must not be making your own money to make a judgement like that

But it's worth it. OP just gotta get a lock for her own door first... If I was the OP, I'd pick right the moment the bitchy sister is on her PC to barge into the room with a baseball bat in hand and violently smash it all up right in front of her. Let's see her having the balls to come back after me once she sees THAT.

So what is she supposed to do, let her sister get away with doing something disrespectful like that? I don't think the OP should get revenge on her sister so much, but she should definitely let her parents know so that her sister will compensate for the amount of damage she has done. She deserves to be punished for that. She is sixteen years old, and therefore should have enough sense to know better and not act like an angry five-year-old who does not know anything about the value of money.
