Gucci, Prada, Christian Dior, Versace, and my all time favorite Louis Vuitton just to name a few make the most lusted over articles in fashion but they are usually out of reach for the average consumer.
Yes, you may want it but your mattress on the floor says otherwise. So you do the next best thing
a) Bargain hunt
b) Fake it til you make it
First and foremost name brands such as these DO NOT I repeat DO NOT go on sale. If your girlfriend is talking about how she got her Speedy 30 for 85% off, do your best to hide your laughter and not say say anything out of character. The lord knows you are trying. Always carry a water bottle, small sips work best.
Give it 2 months before it starts falling apart. Third month ask her where it is because you she thought your name was Boo Boo the Fool born at 3:15am the night before.
Shoedazzle type companies have popped up everywhere offering “trendy”, “affordable” fashions that don’t hurt your pocket like the big bad designers that only want your money.
Wah, cry me a river because stealing the work that professional designers have done and shipping it off to China for mass production of cheap imitations doesn’t really help you in the long run. It actually hurts our pocket.
Would you rather spend money on something of quality or buy a lot of cheap stuff?
Every 6 months I could buy a purse for $50, $100 at the end of the year. Fast forward 10 years, $1000 is piled up in my closet in heap of "Omg what was I thinking...", "Never again!", "Bitch is you blind?" When the most practical thing would be to invest that $1000 into a classic staple.
Let's go back to ShoeDazzle and do some math...
$39.99 a month x 12 Months = $479.88
2 years = $959.76
3 years = $1,439.64
4 years = $1919.52
You get the point. Now at this time you will have 48 pairs of shoes that have snapped straps, broken buckles and warped heels. I've seen it all. The worst was a girl walking off the bus with a plastic bag on her foot. Adorned on the other a super cute wedge sandal.
Moral of the story;
Don't be a F*ck shopper. Always quality over quantity.
