WTF?! Two hundred dollar gym shorts?

Like every other blue blooded American child, we spent the better part of our lives participating in the cruel and unusually sadistic ritual called P.E. in elementary school. While our friends excelled at indoor volleyball exercises and endurance tests, we never had it that easy. We always were the last to finish our daily mile, (but that probably had more to do with our little respiratory problem called asthma).Anyways, all of the "athletes" wore similar attire to work out in. The key piece? A pair of knit wind shorts. They were sold at places like Target or Foot Locker for $20. So, imagine our shock when we stumbled upon these blue hot pants by Elizabeth & James that cost a whopping $225.
WTF Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? Have you all forgotten that not everyone has acquired a billion-dollar fortune by pushing products with their likeness on them like you two?
What's worse, though, is that the shorts are made out of %100 cotton. So, just to reiterate, that's two hundred dollars for a pair banded waist knit shorts! Look, MK and Ashley, if Marc Jacobs can sell a similar pair of shorts for $98 -- and that man has a freaking CFDA award -- then you should, too.
Would you get hooked on a fish pedicure?
