A Materialistic Person. My thought on this was written years ago and til this day I still feel the same way about it. (Post January 2008) But a new lesson I learn from a bad experience has lead me to this topic: Quailty over Quanitity.
I don't think I am materialistic. I just grew a fashion mentality. "One awesome gadget or tool is often better than five mediocre ones. One great looking shirt often brings more joy than ten from the clearance rack."
I'm not rich, but when I do have the extra dough I'd like to save it for something special and really nice. Over the years, I find I keep buying clothes and follow the trends. What am I trying to do? Chase something that's never meant to be caught? a fad, a trend. As I grew older, I find that I need to save money and spend wisely. Believe me, it just comes with age. For a good while, I was a repeat offender. I wore what I had and add only things that will compliment what I already have. It helped save money to finish my school loan. I only spend when it's a Good Buy. I need to think of my future and buy things that I can wear year after year. So I'm thinking basic classic pieces. More mature. Inspiration: Wendy's Lookbook.
Because of her, it made me open my eyes to a whole new world of fashion. I used to think I can never afford that and I can't have that, so why try... But I am now! I recently got into accessories, which I never thought much of before. Jewerly was my first step into it all. I was in the Jewelmint stage. Then I finally figured I was wasting more money on their monthly subscription than I had planned. Bad Expierence. so I cancelled that. My first real jewlry piece. My MK watch! I'd like to say I bought myself that as a gift for passing the boards. I wear it alot! It's the only good quality piece I had. I must say I wear my boyfriend's last year's christmas gift alot too. My small diamond hoop earrings. And this year's my new bracelet! I can't wait til the next one. LOL! There's another accessory I never thought I'd have. No one I know has one either... So I had to jump at it. It was my first big good buy: A Stephen Sprouse: Brown LV Leopard Print Scarf. A timeless and classic piece! and Limited Edition from 2008. I bit my tongue a little as I purchased it. Pre-loved from ebay. Crazy right?! I'd tell myself, I only need one good scarf. Check! I already have a classic black bag. Check! with a matching wallet! Check! =) I'm still trying to find a couple of more classic pieces. Whew* To think I already started my little closet for years to come! I very much enjoy my one and only Gucci purse I bought two years ago and it is still in good condition, and I find that I still use it year after year. =) If it ever breaks down I'd be sad! Sad I tell you! It was my first big purchase and it is sentimental to me. I feel the same way about my scarf. It is such a lovely piece and I adore it! My next thing is shoes. I have more than enough shoes rigth now to last me a good while. Until one breaks down, then I will buy another one. And it's gonna be a good one. =) I know the best brand for my feet are Nine West. In my whole life-time of wearing heels. I had the fortunate event of having two most loved pair of shoes. My first one I bought at Ross years ago and it was a simple black square toe Nine West pump. It gotten torn and ripped up And taken it's burial grounds. Luckily, I happen to stumble upon the second most loved shoe and it is also an Nine West shoe. It is my grey suede wedges. I love love it! So I'mhoping to have another one. I know it's is not a Louboutin. but I tried those shoes on. It is umcomfortable for me. Sorry but it's not meant to be Christian Louboutins. but YSL shoes.... they fit like a glove. >_< lol!
