designer ( for girls really)
well, this is the thing.
how many of you girls wear designer clothes, bags, watches etc. i really want a chanel bag like this but the one i like is around £450 and it's only little. do you think you get what you pay for?

the only thing i really spend any money on is my shoes. i tend to buy designer shoes and my fave brand is irregular choice. i have the blythe shoes with the black and white pom poms and i love them. i have a few other pairs aswell and i think they are great value for money. they come in a pretty box that is a drawer so they can be stacked on top of each other. they come with with new heel pads and are super comfy and have great attention to detail. they have patterned soles and coloured lining depending on the shoes.
but no, i wouldnt pay £450 for any item of clothing or accessory. the most expensive thing i have ever bought was a pair of oakley sunglasses. they cost me £140 ten years ago and i still have them.

Whadda ya mean (for girls really) . I think its worth getting designer stuff. Its a weird rush cause you know you shouldn't be spending that much money on something. It's an excitement + guilt rush.
I have a penchant for Paul Smith suits, rare Adidas trainers and Bulgari sunglasses |

I am quite limited on where I can get clothes from that fit properly so most of my clothes come from Long Tall Sally.

The only thing I own that could be called remotely designer are some Ralph Lauren sun glasses.
The wife probably wouldn't spend that much on a handbag, but she wouldn't think twice about spending it on shoes. |

Oh I love designer wear, and own quite a bit. A good few years ago I went mad on Red or Dead clothes and shoes. I owned two pairs of the boot that were the same just different colours, I have given both pairs away to charity now, but most of the other designer clothes I still have. I just love the feeling of owning them It definitely is a rush when you buy them, and then when you get them home, you can't help looking at them and touching them

Now matter how much i tried to justify £450 on a hand bag i just couldnt do it.
I love my Ray Bans and get every pennies worth out them daily! I love my asics trainers that i only use in the gym, usually i try to work out how much i will wear/use an item if it's really expensive, and then decide, god i'm boring! must learn to take a few risks me thinks
