In Sex and the City, just about every character’s wardrobe, especially in the later seasons (remember in season one when Miranda would walk around in no makeup and overalls?) didn’t quite match up with their paychecks. Most noticeably: Carrie Bradshaw, a freelance writer, could not have afforded that collection of Manolos, Dior bags, and enough designer outfits to never repeat–even if her apartment was rent-controlled. Still, we all bought into the fantasy and couldn’t wait to see what Carrie would wear next.
