Is there anyone like me out there???

[Twinklette]

Well I am realizing I have NO problem spending $$$ on bags but when it comes to clothes/shoes, etc. I balk at spending even $40 on a pair of pants or top. That is insane considering the $ I spend on bags without even blinking an eye.

I've never been much of a clothes/shoe person and maybe that's why. I just love my bags and feel they pull my outfit together. I tend to like simplicity in my clothes and really don't follow trends.

is anyone else like me or am I the only :weird: one??? lol

You have just described me to a ~T~ word for word. Your definetely not the only one!!

I can't spend money on basics... I get all my James Perse tees on sale, all my miniskirts are from Abercrombie. I get almost all of my shoes (designer or not) on sale. I will shell out a good deal of money on a dress, though.

i'm the same way - to me, the bags are a durable piece and can be used every day for years if i choose, but i might only wear a t or a pair of pants for a few months, maybe once a week at most. it just doesn't make as much sense to me to spend any money on them.

 

[SuLi]

I started off like that, but I realize more and more, I'm buying nicer pieces because I like the quality. My overall look is very basic, so I figure if I spend a bit of money, I'll get my money's worth since I'll be wearing it for a long time. Plus, I spend less in the long-run because I don't really buy too much trendy clothing.

For me $400 is my cap on shoes, not because I can't afford higher priced shoes but because I can't fathom spending a lot of money on something I can't baby. Shoes get dirty/screwed up the moment you step outside

 

[pursegalsf]

NO, you're not alone Twinklette. I don't spend a lot of money on clothes and they don't have to be designer. I figure as long as I have a great handbag it will compensate for my not so expensive clothes.

 

[helenNZ]

i'm a bit of both - if thats allowed!!! i'll totally fork out thousands for a great bag and it wouldn't matter and for clothes i would spend at least $200 - $400 - in a season on certain pieces eg/ winter coat, boots... :shame:

 

[scarlett_2005]

I agree with you 100%. I can't justify or rationalize speding $200 on jeans or other clothing items. It's just denim!! I will occasoinally spluge on shoes though. If they are on sale of course

 

[mariesmist]

it's all about balance! you'd be broke if you spent the same amount on everything!

or rich.

Although I have quite a few pairs of shoes and boots I'm really not a shoe person. I have so many because they all hurt my feet. I won't wear them again so I go out and buy a different pair. I HATE spending money on shoes. I find boots more comfortable so although I don't enjoy spending money on boots it doesn't put me in a bad mood like when I have to lay out cash for shoes. HATE shoes!!! Also, I wear either a 5-1/2 or 6 depending on the brand/style and it's hard to find attractive shoes in this size. I guess 7 and 8 are more popular sizes.

 

[edsbgrl]

Can't say that I'm like you Twinklette. History shows I spend $$$ on various things. Bags do tend to be the biggest tags though when excluding cars, homes and the like.

 

[Redd]

Like Mariesmist said, they key is balance. I've been known to get the 99 cent tissues (rather than the $2.49 Puffs). But dammit- if I want to spend $1000 on a bag I'll do it!!

 

[bagnshoofetish]

I spend the most on bags and shoes. Dresses come next. Then regular clothing. My husband loves buying vintage clothes but I just can't get myself to wear someone elses clothes.
Gives me the creeps!

 

[Megs]

I have found myself spending a lot on clothes also, but never shoes. I'm huge into jeans now and always have been in other clothing. But at least I can say I've never spent exorbitant amounts on shoes!!
