yes, it's true. society has brainwashed us into thinking that material things are great and wonderful and that they should somehow mold us into who we are or what we stand for. it's called a "style" and we all conform to some type of particular style or "label" in one way or another.
not everyone who is materialistis is "prick" or a "bitch".
i love nice cars and nice shades and flashy watches, and i LOOOVE designer clothes, but that doesn't stop me from buying cheap bathing suits at old navy or target either. would i rather have a gucci bikini? yes i would. but i wont go in debt buying one if i can't afford it.
and i dont judge people who aren't label whores either.
but to be perfectly honest, you get what you pay for.
if you buy a $20 pair of sandals from target, they aren't going to last very long and you'll probably get blisters.
if you spend $200 on a pair of prada sandals, they probably wont look as worn or dingy until like a year later.
it's just about quality and i enjoy having quality material-type clothes.
why is it that when i've gone to some cheapy girl store for a pair of $20 jeans, they just didn't quite fit right? but when i went to astoria on lincoln road and dropped $120 on a pair of jeans, they were the best investment i ever made re: jeans.
nevermind, i'm sure no one is listening and i sound like a superficial bitch right now |
How dare you have facts to back up your statement
Yeah, whenever I would buy cheap shirts they never fit right and would start to fade, etc, but I when I would buy shirts from designer labels, they have lasted me for years and still look brand new. Sometimes you get what you pay for, but sometimes you pay too much What I might think is a rediculous investment, someone else might not...just breaks down to what you're willing to spend.
In other words, stop hijacking my thread
