Yay! We all love pretty things, but most of the time, those things are expensive.
But I got excited yesterday, I bought a Juicy Couture wallet, and a pair of BCBG Sunglasses:cool:
I felt mad sexy with those on

I adore juicy, I love those little sweatsuits but holy shit some of those things are like 200 bucks! A girl I know, mad rich btw, has the most gorgeous juicy purse...it's a big ass bag with a huge lock and key on it..fucking adorable! I'm so jealous...I haven't gone shopping in months..I'm gonna make my boyfriend take me shopping this weekend haha!
I KNOW WHICH ONE! My friend has one and she got it for christmas, its a hobo and hers is a gawwwgeous dark brown i love it
sounds exactly like the one my girlie's got.sooo jealous lol
its not that expensive for a juicy purse, its like $350-$400
Im like $50 short of buying this one
sadly, all I have is like 50 dollars to spend. Haha.
well, i would have enough for the purse if i didnt buy the wallet, $94 right out of my pocket
Okay, I gotta ask the two of you: Why do you want a purse that is "not that expensive" for the brand but still costs $350?
I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, and a lot of my friends are into expensive purses and sunglasses and clothes, and I just really don't get it.
Is it because the quality really is that much better? Or is it just for the label? Or do you just really really really want it because you think it is cute (which, again, is not a bad reason)?
It's for the brand, Vileoxidation. Just like guys'll pay more for a Harley-Davidson than, say, a Honda or Kawasaki bike? Good and in-demand brands can charge a premium price, and people'll pay them.
My expensive pretty girly thing is underwear. Chantelle and, if I'm really feeling impractical, La Perla.
Okay, the problem I have with that is that a car (or motorcycle, whichever) is a status symbol, and is usually a very obvious indication of social class, and this is something that people do desire. Also, the cars are higher quality.Quote:

I just...don't understand why having a purse with certain letters on it is better than having one with other certain letters.
Its the brand, and I LOVE IT, im going to save to buy it. Besides, its not that expensive, ive seen purses in the thousands, $3000 for the signature Chanel bag. Plus ive wanted my sunglasses for over 6 months and I finally got them.
But its just a splurge, its not like everything in my closet is designer. all of my shirts are $15 or under, except one pirate t shirt that I love which was $30 only because it came from disneyland. and my pants arent that much either, the standard $20-$40
Actually, where I live, purses and sunglasses, along with brand of clothers indicate your social class. I live in a place I hate, where if you dont wear this or have that, your not "popular" but just like everywhere else, you adapt to your surroundings and either want one to have, or want one to say "yes, I have one"Quote:

I know a lot of girls who save up for months and months to buy things, and in cases such as that, it is certainly not an indication of class. It is an indication of an overwhelming desire to fit in, even when a budget does not readily allow it.Quote:

That may be true, as you said, we all splurge in different areas. As you have your cars, I have my purse. for now, my parents are the ones with the bills, so I dont have to worry about those for a while now.
Yeah, I was there two years ago. Bills make me feel like I am really doing something with my life though, like I may actually feel like an adult some time soon. I kind of like having bills....just not paying themQuote:

I have a real cat and all she does is make me spend money, it cost like $100 just to adopt herQuote:

I kid you not, I go home every weekend to see my dogs. not my family, my dogs. Seeing my parents and going laundry are just pluses. It really helps that my parents only live 20 mins awayQuote:

I honestly like how things look. It could be 5 dollars, and come from wal*mart..and if it's cute, I'll buy it...although the quality at wal*mart isn't the best.
I don't have the money to buy those things tho, most of my money goes towards weed and my family isn't exactly well off. I have what I need though and that's what matters.
I don't care about my social status. Most of the time I wear my boyfriend's clothes. I'm friendly though and have a lot of friends from all types of groups, so I don't really have to worry about what I wear, how I do my hair, or what bling I'm flashing around.
same here, just that I dont like wal*mart, I was too poor to have a real childhood, thats why I try to live it up now.Quote:

expensive clothing is my biggest guilty pleasure and i love it
OMG billionfold you HAVE to get a bike. Everyone should have one. They are fucking AWESOME. I buy my clothes at Salvation Army a lot of the time ( I work at a lab, everything gets acid holes in it) and have the extra cash to save for expensive toys... hint hint girlies... Fuck buying a $300 purse. After 10 purses you should have bought a Ninja!
And btw ladies, a bike + a thong + those low assed expensive jeans= hotness in a can... drive around leaving a trail of traffic accidents in your wake as the men pass out from your X-treme mojo...
:D
whenever i have the money, i have to go designer. lately my dad has been cutting me off so now that i have to work for my money:( i don't as much :cries:. you just don't know how hard it's been for me lol but i like coach, juicy, dooney & bourke and vera bradley.
this fendi bag makes me wanna cum

Id say indulgent
Fuck Uggs... I'm so sick of seeing them... I covet a pair of these things... if I ever become filthy rich
Canadian Fur Mukluks Handmade in Canada Fur Mukluk, Genuine Fur Mukluks and Slippers, Warm Comfortable Winter Footwear, Handmade Deerskin Mukluk
Its the worst when you live in Arizona, so it is really to warm to wear Uggs, but all the girls just have to have the latest fashion so they wear their Uggs with the tiniest miniskirt they can find.Quote:
