the evil imposters
Ok, so maybe this is going to make me a pariah on the boards, but I am going to say it anyway. What is wrong with buying a knockoff?? I mean I can certainly see a problem if you're trying to pass it off as real ( cuz then you've just got issues), but if you like the look of a designer and don't have $350 to spend on a purse (I know I don't) why is it a crime to buy a bag that looks just like it for $40 (much more in my price range)? Maybe I am breaking some sort of fashion law, and you all are staring at this post in shocked disbeleif, but I just don't get it! I am broke ass and work 2 jobs. I think I dress pretty nice, and I love to shop, and I occasionally splurge on really nice things, but if I can find a bargain I am going to snatch it up. Maybe that's the difference. I shop for a look, not a name, so I don't think it's wrong to buy some thing that is "inspired by" Gucci, Prada, or Kate Spade, if it looks awesome with that dress go for it! Now, I don't own anything that is supposed to be a knock off of some designer, but that doesn't mean I never will. If it looks good, who the hell cares if it's $200 cheaper!! That should be one of the main reasons to get it!!
