The problem with CPW is too little data analysis, not too much. You need to take your CPW spreadsheet and add a column for JPW (joy per wear) so that you can calculate your cost-benefit ratios. You then need to think about your BATPJ (best alternative to a purchased jawn) and compare that with your potential purchases. Finally you of course need to calculate and analyze your quarterly KJPIs (key jawn performance indicators).

I totally agree with the anti CPW sentiment but it does bring to mind the beautiful inverse of the equation which is the euphoric feeling I get every time I put a slapper on (usually vintage) that cost next to nothing. The residual blessing and anointment from the Thrift Gods reminding me of that moment in time when stars aligned and I was cosmically handed a steal of a deal, a warm reminder of moments passed when I was in harmony with the universe.
