Buying mid-range doesn't work for me. I tend to want the best of brand or quality in whatever and nothing else satisfies me ....If I try to "settle" for "less" I just end up buying twice and wasting money so I learned my lesson just get the best quality whatever ... and save myself the trouble of buying twice because settling for something "less" is a waste of money. It may not be rational to other people but that's how my mind works....
For example, I tried buying cheaper sweaters one year instead of cashmere and it was a waste of the money. They didn't look, feel or wear as well, and I disliked them so much I never wore them, ended up throwing them out when I got tired of looking at I went and spent the money for the good cashmere sweaters. So I spent twice. Another big regret, I once bought a bracelet with lower color grade diamonds and I just don't love the braclet as much as my jewelry with WHITE D color sparklers and so the hated and despised braclet sits collecting dust at the bottom of my jewelry box because I'm unable to get rid of it because of the low resale value for jewelry although yet I never wear it..... More wasted money there....
Wow, I can kinda see your point but, when it comes to that "hated & despised" diamond bracelet, well I'd take it! I'm a diamond connoisseur but if I didn't wear a diamond just because of it was near colorless instead of colorless then I may just as well not wear ANYTHING but F-flawless clarity diamonds either! That's almost like me turning down a pink diamond (the one that I'm trying to save for but these this pesky bag fettish is gettin in the way) just because it's SI clarity instead of flawless!
