What do you do for living? Do you get to enjoy wearing your LV handbags to work

I'm a civilian pharmacist for the military and I wear my bags, scarves and jewelry everyday.

Yes, some people don't get it and just aren't into fashion at all but I don't care. I don't wear my things for them. I wear them for me. The ones that do enjoy fashion, it's nice to talk about fashion with them and I love seeing their own bags and accessories they wear to work.

People all have different interests and it's fine if some don't get mine. I don't get how people can spend hours playing video games or watch PewDiePie (videos of someone else playing video games).

It is too bad that people who don't share your passions feel the need to "put down" what you like by making comments about it being a waste of money. Maybe it's a little bit of insecurity or jealousy. They should just keep their comments to themselves.
 
Hello everyone, I'm so glad we have this forum where we can share our love for fashion and Designer pieces.
I'm a pharmacist in LA, CA. Unfortunately, I rarely meet people who understand my obsession with designer handbags, my friends always disagree with my choices and think that I'm wasting my money.
What about y'all? where do you work? and what do you do? and do you get to wear your LV bags to work?
I am shocked that people in LA would be so judgey. Do your friends have jobs as financially comfortable as yours?

I don't think it's an income thing. My husband makes twice my salary and I'm well paid (he's in tech). Anyway - the point is that he thinks it's incredibly wasteful to spend the kind of money we do on luxury when you can get dupes for way less. He may never understand why I love my lux items but he agrees that just because he doesn't see value, doesn't mean I don't. I've tried explaining cost per use and the idea that these items tend to keep their value rather than depreciating. He still won't get on board.

I also think that people these days are trying to minimize their foot print with regard to consumption (myself included). Unfortunately all the Louis Vuitton brings me immense joy :loveeyes:
