Brands or flee markets?? What's your pick?

[Katy@30]

True, branded stuff makes you feel good but don't you guys think that it should be a balance of both the things? I mean its also about certain things worth their price... Share your thoughts on this... Since i have joined this forum, i have seen people mainly talk about brands not the things which actually leads to happiness and also the satisfaction of still being under the budget

And yes, also post pictures of some of the recent purchases of yours from the flee market which you are really proud of.

BTW I love brands but I don't live/die by them. I also have a motto.. "Never Pay Full Price!"

thanks for the thread!

True, i never buy anything if its in fresh arrival or not on discount...It does not satisfy me till that time.. Branded things also deserve a price, above it it looks too much to pay for it ..

100% agree! I've once decided that I'm ready to spend a lot on basic items that I wear daily and for months (coats, jeans), on shoes and bags. There can be no compromise when I buy these. But everything else can be found on flee markets, thrift shops, ebay, inselly etc. If you mix branded expensive items with budget garments (new, vintage and pre-loved) in a right proportion, you still look chic.

Exactly my point Calistra and in fact i try to spend on both the things whenever i go out to shop, it gives u happiness and satisfaction that you are still under budget and have such beautiful things to wear as well... kind of a win-win situation for me!

You know the great happiness when you find something from a flea market and its oh so gorgeous compared to those boutique finds you find in those outlets.

SO true! Makes me way more happy to dig a vintage treasure then to just buy a discounted item in a store. Can't even compare the two feelings.

I could not agree more with you guys!

As long as i am deriving that satisfaction from it..Also, It feels awesome when you get something at so much less price and its beautiful ....
