I used to buy branded clothing, bags and shoes when I was still employed and earning a very comfortable salary. I had a Ferragamo handbag which cost over RM2k, a pair of Ferragamo shoes which cost over RM1k, a Longines watch, 2 wardrobes bursting with expensive office attire, prada sunglasses and a glass display filled with expensive perfumes. Ever since I left the corporate world, I only buy clothes and bags that are on cheap sale. Now that I run my own online store, I only wear clothes that I sell which are bought at very low prices from my suppliers. And I realized that branded stuff does not matter to me anymore. I am happy wearing cheap but nice clothes, shoes and bags.
OMG!! U spent that kind of $$??!! Is it common practice in Msia??
Most ppl are taken aback that I buy most of my clothes in thrift stores…..of course I pick only the good stuff eg Columbia, Gap, Banana Republic, DKNY, Liz Claiborne, Jones , Ann Taylor, North Face, etc etc. My most fave is a Lacoste Tshirt(u can tell it is real from the buttons) and a Chanel outfit. And I am most proud of this fact!!
Chris, some of the really expensive stuff were gifts from one of my ex bosses 🙂
