Do people really think that they are getting something special when they buy designer labels? All they are doing is acting like sheep and putting money into the pockets of the clever companies that mass produce and sell them.
Much better to buy things that look good on you and are a bit different from the designer 'uniforms' that some people wear. It doesn't take a lot of money to look good - it takes flair and the ability to wear clothes with confidence.
At the end of the day .. you buy your clothes because you like them. Whether they are designer or not .. does not bother me in the slightest, im willing to spend �80 on a pair of jeans, however i will also spend �3 on a tshirt from primark. Its all down to quality, style, and suitability. Sometimes its better to spend more on an item of clothing if you know it is good quality, and looks smart .. and the opposite with fashion clothing you know will not be in fashion for very long.
What a sensible (and financially prudent) group we are !! Frankly as long as my clothes are clean and I feel comfortable in them that's the only thing that matters. I'm sure a lot of people buy expensive designer labels simply to boost their self esteem, but if you don't feel good about yourself inside, the most expensive clothes in the world won't help much, only mask the problem.
Keep on supporting the charity shops folks. At least you're doing somebody else a good turn and not lining the pockets of the retailers & manufacturers, (although I realise their employees have their mortgages to pay too!)
