The Toys-R-Us near me carries children's clothes, and they were probably not all that expensive.
It's not overkill to point out, over and over, that the woman who was touted as an "ordinary American" (as opposed to That One who lives in a big bad blue city in a neighborhood with way too many bookstores and grocery stores that carry arugula and other subversive leafy greens) was, with her family, wearing clothes that had cost twice as much as some of the (possibly foreclosed) houses belonging to small RNC donors, who unwittingly financed her shopping spree.
Come on. Maybe wearing consignment shop clothes wasn't necessary, but she could have gone to Talbots, for pity's sake, if she wanted to be "just like" her potential constituents but dress just a little better.
