I have everything from Target T-shirts to a mink in my closet and I have to admit, I have no problem paying top dollar for things-----PROVIDED they are classic, fit well and are something I will use often. Unless you are Paris Hilton, I cannot see spending thousands on some item that will be totally passe next season. For example, I am a LV whore myself and when the Murakami bags came out I was salivating. But I just knew deep in my heart that the real thing wouldn't last long and pretty soon there would be a million people running around with fake ones....those bags are actually very hard to find and I feel like if I broke down and bought one everyone would think it was a fake anyway! My husband is on this quest to find me the one I want even if it costs him $2000 but I think he is crazy. (We don't trust the ones on Ebay)
My point is, if you can afford it and you enjoy it I think it's totally fine to buy clothes that make you feel good no matter how much they cost. It's the people who can't afford it who I just wonder what they are thinking.....like the Outkast song that talks about shaking your ass to buy that phat bag but you don't have any food in your refigerator.
