MAAAAARRRRRRXXXXX! (on clothes, sister!)

((sigh))

My shirt expresses the use-value of about 20 hours of underpaid Chinese labor. But its value, sans labor, quantified, is equivalent to no more than the cheap cotton used to construct it. However I'm somewhat saved by the fact that the value-form of my shirt has a slightly higher value because of its stylish form that society sees as a "cute cotton shirt made for women." But in the end, the shirt's equivalent-form is still valued at only $15 American dollars, because the shirt's relative value (expressed by the quality of labor inherent in its use-value) means that it will fall apart after only 10 washes.

In other words, I should buy better-quality shirts. Thanks, Karl! You just saved my wardrobe.
