I didnt mean to offend anyone. I just think people should spend less time worrying about what others think of them, and more time worrying about themselves and being happy! Im sorry for your MIL situation...but you're right, people are different. If that had happened to me, I would have just ignored her and not felt bad at all because I dont care what people think as long as I am happy with my choices. Im sure she has something that someone else might think is a waste of money or stupid too! Everyone places value on different things and she has no right to treat you like that because of your choices and I would have told her so. I hope things get better between you two in the future! I think you must care on some level what she thinks of you or you wouldn't have gotten so upset by her rude comments? Anyway, dont be ashamed and dont let her or anyone else make you feel bad...life is too short!
I didn't get offended by your comment, I also understand your point of view, so we're cool
And you're right, life definitely is too short! I could learn a lot from your kind of person because I'm a worrying kind of person myself and sometimes it would be better just to live and not worry. But on the other hand life would be boring if we'd all think and act alike, right? 
Never. I couldn't careless what other people thought. Though in my area, LV is seen everywhere and it's just not a big deal to be seen carrying one. The only time I am uncomfortable carrying a high-end logo bag is when I am on vacation alone...I try to tone down my accessories and jewelry because I don't want to make myself a target for thieves.
It would be boring! I havent always had this attitude, I used to be a real people pleaser and I spent crazy amounts of time making sure everyone else was happy and I neglected myself. But, I eventually learned through many mistakes and much time that you cant please everyone and someone will always find fault in something I do, say, etc. So now I just make sure Im nice to everyone and I try not to worry about things because worrying wont change anything! But please do carry your LV's if they make you happy!I didn't get offended by your comment, I also understand your point of view, so we're cool
hey we all have our own opinions...thats what makes this forum so interesting!
I agree with you though 100%
Im 22 and the only one of my friends who has a "good" job and doesnt live off of their parents. I never felt weird useing a bag around them, but I also dont bring attention to it by talking about bags. My two friends I hang out with most often always notice my bags and ask about them, one loves them to bits and likes to try them on..the other ones tells me im crazy without even knowing the prices. I keep the prices from my family even when they ask...but my mother has gone online and found out the prices, and she ALWAYS announces it to my entire family and her friends. Its very annoying...but wont stop me from useing my bags I paid so much for.
I wasn't offended by anything anyone said on here. I know that I care what others think maybe a little too much and I wish I didn't. I am trying very hard to change that. I just know a lot of people have made snide comments like that my 3 month old son will have to get a job now in order to sustain my expensive purse habit. Meanwhile she's toting a coach fake... I should take on the approach that people will always talk no matter what you do so best to do what makes you happy : D
at first i was. i felt that it may be a little out of place. but like you i paid off my debt and created a budget to buy what i wanted. i tried little by little to wear my bags until eventually i am okay with them no matter who sees. in the first place why should i care right. i worked hard for it so why would it matter that i have it.
Since you are paying with your own money, then let people talk, you have all the rights in the world to decide what you want to buy. Personally, I would make sure I look presentable while carrying anything costly in public. It's like how 5k wheels can add flare to a 50k car, but they will look ridiculous on a 3k car.
It also depend on situation. The bank tellers act extra nice to me after I got my LV agenda, but I would avoid carrying it around government bureaucrats at all cost.
Either way, stop thinking too much ^___^
Depends on the bag speedy no neverfull not really but like my amarante vernis Alma, I always double thinkit and usually put it back in my closet since it's pretty flashy, I get a lot of dirty looks with it
not so much with lv. because in nyc, i feel like they're all over the street. but with chanel, yes, I do know what you mean.
Nope. Never felt embarrassed at all about any of my bags. I've been called spoiled my whole life so it's not a big deal to me what people say...I guess I'm used to it. I love my bags and it's okie that sometimes people don't understand why.
Most of the time no, but there are times where im hanging out with my classmates and people start wanting to go out, or order food or something and some complain about not having the money to do so, and i then feel a bit bad about having a $2,000 backpack....
