Agreed. I look at spending a paycheck on a bag, or piece of jewelry, clothing item, as an investment. I rarely splurge for anything (poor starving college student) and sure I could buy a trendy bag at Target for MUCH less, but it's not going to last as long.
But I do think there are a lot of girls that just go buy the "IT" bag just because it's the "IT" bag. One year it's Coach, the next its LV, then D&B, and Juicy. I just saw D&B bags for less than $50 in TJ Max last night and I laughed at how the "IT" bag goes out so fast. I wondered how many girls have their designer handbags in the bottom of the closet just because pop-culture says it's not in style.
