However, truth can be said for quality costing more so I could buy that cheapo item and have it not fit quite right, but get something else that costs more and fits perfect and makes me feel good. It's a fine line.Cupcake Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-36019682311094700972009-03-04T21:02:00.000-08:002009-03-04T21:02:00.000-08:00I think it depends on WHAT you're buying.If I'm bu...I think it depends on WHAT you're buying.<BR/><BR/>If I'm buying t-shirts, jeans, hoodies, tank tops, sneakers, cotton sundresses and the like, I definitely stick with cheaper, or at least on-sale pieces.<BR/><BR/>For a special-occasion dress or good-quality classic coat, I think the "investment" thing can come more into play.<BR/><BR/>But my favourite thing to do is find deeply discounted quality pieces. Of course it takes more time and searching, but it's extremely satisfying and makes the clothes/shoes even more special. Which means I wear them more. Which I guess would make them cost-effective.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197338545784036748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-51014471276601979142009-03-04T10:06:00.000-08:002009-03-04T10:06:00.000-08:00I totally agree with your view on the cost per wea...I totally agree with your view on the cost per wear thing,<BR/>okay perhaps if you have the money to start with,<BR/>but I know I don't have 2k to drop on a bag even if it does work at 5 a day.DaisyChainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344899476185657493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-23909997875833799952009-03-04T06:31:00.000-08:002009-03-04T06:31:00.000-08:00As I have got older, I've rationalised my ward...As I have got older, I've rationalised my wardrobe, and feel happier for it. When I was covering the fashion shows last season, I was away for 18 days in Europe doing Milan & Paris and there's a smaller baggage allowance on European flights than on transatlantic so I had to be very careful with my packing - and that's when I realised that four pairs of expensive shoes I loved was going to service me better than twenty I was unsure about and probably wldn't wear.

Like $80 for a nice winter coat. I mean it's a good price, and even though I know that I rarely spend that much money on one piece and have to talk myself into it by saying "after this winter it'd be like 1.50 per wear"<BR/>-indigoindigotangerinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615574800900334996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-37252890810046840842009-03-03T18:49:00.000-08:002009-03-03T18:49:00.000-08:00New layout?

I think it's kind of weird. <BR/><BR/>Instead I just ask myself, before purchasing, these three things..<BR/><BR/>1. Do I absolutely LOVE it? (I have love-at-first-sight with shopping items)<BR/>2. Is it completely different to anything else I have? (like with handbags, every one I have is different, this includes colours)<BR/>3. Is it good quality?<BR/><BR/>If yes is the answer to all three questions, then most like I'll buy it.<BR/><BR/>That is if I can afford it :)<BR/><BR/>Those shoes are so so cute. Wanna see them on you tho!!Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344066835343980980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-73437485759736851692009-03-03T13:26:00.000-08:002009-03-03T13:26:00.000-08:00haha let's see i think it's important to be picky ...haha let's see i think it's important to be picky and choosy.. i'm quite price conscious.. let's see biggest splurge shoe wise seems to be my louboutins.. which were half off.. so for $350.. the problem was.. after i got them i was scared to wear them too much in case of ruining them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330724535484021347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-70892055087169031822009-03-03T11:57:00.000-08:002009-03-03T11:57:00.000-08:00I have used this "excuse" so many times....but lik...I have used this "excuse" so many times....but like you said, it usually does not work out because no matter how many times I might tell myself I wont buy anything for a year...it rarely happens...so I have pretty much cut ff my spending...esp in this recession...My hours were slashed by half and its just a bad time to graduate...so nervous :s...anyways...I dont know if they are here yet...I find out by monday when my pops pickes up all his mail!

I probably would never justify spending that on sunglasses (God forbid if they broke or got scratched, which is a big possibility for me!!) but for some reason I just had to have them! So I bought them and I've never looked back. I don't always wear them (sometimes in fear of them getting ruined), so they probably dont fit the "cost-per-wear" catergory, but that doesn't worry me, because when I do wear them, I feel a million bucks!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05194864125336333685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-6312055211325151022009-03-02T23:49:00.000-08:002009-03-02T23:49:00.000-08:00I never ever buy anything that could count as "cos...I never ever buy anything that could count as "cost-effective", because I only buy thrift stuff, but I will delude myself into buyng expensive one-of-a-kind vintage items for a lot of money (like a 100 bucks)) by telling myself that they're just too amazing to pass up, even if they make me look like i work at the ren fair ;)<BR/><BR/>Great post!Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078509975778101344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-34662392390436940602009-03-02T21:25:00.000-08:002009-03-02T21:25:00.000-08:00well.. let's see.i have a pair of DIOR glasses whi...well.. let's see.<BR/>i have a pair of DIOR glasses which cost me $287.<BR/>i found the same design for $10 in 42nd St in NYC.<BR/>i bought them.<BR/>I use them more than i use the Dior ones, coz I loose everything so I'd rather lose the crappy $10 than the real Dior. <BR/>But - when I had my first pair of Dior, I wore them all the time and I was really happy with paying $350 for a pair of sunglasses.<BR/><BR/>i'm not into fashion at all, so i couldnt give you any comments on clothes/shoes. i havent bought clothes in a very long time ...<BR/>but i just thought a comment about my fake Dior and real Dior glasses was appropiate. :)<BR/><BR/>love your blog!<BR/>have a great rest of the week!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922129207090504251noreply@blogger.com
