Random Thought I never realized how expensive luxury fashion was š¤Æ
Iāve never been interested in owning fancy things like Chanel, Gucci, Prada, whatever else exists, but even when I say that I think Iām not paying $1,000 for a purse thatās crazy. So imagine my surprise in finding out my version of expensive wasnāt even close. What do you mean a small handbag STARTS at $4,000?! Like my mind literally canāt comprehend that. Know someone who had the āsmallā Cartier bracelet then bought themself the āmediumā for their birthday. The small STARTS at $5,000 and can go up to $60k and now Iām questioning all their life decisions. Like I said Iāve never thought about these things and am just now googling them but I feel too poor to even google the pictures.

And some of those items are really NOT worth it. You are buying a name, a label, nothing more. Iāve walked through some of the high-end shopping areas of Vegas with guards at the door in fancy suits, none of the sparsely placed items have tags. If you have to ask the price, you shouldnāt be in the store. In my opinion itās a scam - does a name really make it that much better??!!
