Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

Well, I don't really care about those types of things, if I found one that I happened to like for really cheap I probably would buy it, but I don't generally buy "name brands" (except when it comes to perfumes!) so it isn't a big deal to me.

My sister-in-law buys them at thrift stores a lot, and she has bought some for cheap on-line before, but they always claim to be the "real thing", so I guess there is plausible deny-ability if there was a problem. She believes they are real, I am more suspicious by nature, lol!!

I am so afraid of what people will think, that I tend to avoid name brand things, anyway.
A friend of mine buys her purses and things from Nordy's but it hurts my stomach to walk through those places! The prices are ridiculous!
I guess I just need to think a little less of what people think of me!
I actually attended one of the "purse parties" and was shocked to see what "Christians" were doing, maybe it's because I am married to an attorney, but it just seemed wrong! And I am afraid that the FBI will come after me!

Well, most people act like I am silly when I say this stuff, but I just could never spend that kind of money on a purse. I am like you, it makes me ill.

I guess i am not alone on this one then. Ha! I have never cared to buy anything that is name brand. My mom has always taught me to not portray something that I am not. Besides, i really don't see the point to it. I too feel sick looking at those prices. I could never spend so much money on clothes. I like sales ... but I dont like shopping. I go for what I am going for, don't like to stand there and look around.

My husband calls me the schizophrenic shopper, I start at the clearance rack and dart around with no rhyme or reason....
