With the exception of my sister (who gave me my first LV) I think my family secretly disapproves of me spending so much money on my Speedy B. I feel really guilty when I am around them because I'm the youngest and they all used to take care of me. My husband and I are not rich by any means but we live comfortably. He is in the military and I am a SAHM. But I get paid to go to college because I used to be in the military, too.
With my in-laws I used to tell them that my LVs are fake and I had planned on telling my sisters that my newer LVs are fakes. But, I'm starting to not care so much about what everyone thinks. I have no other expensive habits. I don't smoke, drink alcohol, go out to parties/clubs or go to starbucks everyday. I don't even get my nails done or hair colored. I think I get a haircut four times a year. I have about only 15 pairs of shoes and I shop mostly at Anthro and usually only the sale section. My only other major expense is food because I'm a foodie and I'm into organic/natural.
Right now, all I do is take college courses and take care of my family. I feel a little sad to say this: but, besides my family, browsing for and buying the occasional handbag is my hobby and source of joy. My husband wants to buy me an Artsy Empreinte but somehow I still feel really guilty spending the money on it and the judgment that I am going to get from my family. Bless his heart, he is even telling me "Think about it as an investment. You could just sell it later if you get tired of it".
Thanks for at least letting me get this frustration off my chest. :rain:I feel like this board is the only place where people can understand this.
So, should I do it? I'm torn between the Havane or new Black color.
