Hi Ladies and Gents,
I am a school teacher and yesterday was our first day for faculty and all 500 of us have a beginning of the year meeting in a large auditorium. Well, the 40 or so teachers that are from just my building have gotten used to me carrying my mono speedy just about everyday for the past 2 years and don't really comment on it anymore. But yesterday, when I was amidst my colleagues, who do not know me personally, I was carrying my LV and I felt like I was getting a lot of stares and they didn't feel friendly. I know that teaching is not a glamorous profession but it is just myself and my husband, no kids yet, and we both make a nice salary. I felt "wrong" for having LV for a minute and then I thought to myself "You have nothing to feel bad about, you work hard and deserve to have nice things, hold your head up high." So I will continue carrying LV to school and I look forward to using my upcoming purchases there. I love LV and I honestly can't see myself carrying anything but. Has anyone had a similar experience where they felt awkward about carrying a nice bag? Do you feel innapropriate carrying LV bags to certain places?
