designer clothing - are they worth it?

[rivermom]

I don't think I've ever spent over $60.00 for a pair of jeans in my life.

Now, If i was a billionaire would I pay such high prices for all those name brands? Possibly. I can't say for sure because I've never been a billionaire. LOL I atleast wish I had the ability to find out though.

I look in these fashion magazines and totally fall in love with some of the purses I see. Then I notice the price and my mouth drops. Moreso w/ a lot of the dresses worn by many models. So dainty, feminine, and beautiful. Only to find they want $2000.00 for such a dress.

I do believe one can find really nice classy outfits w/out having to spend tons of money.

I pay a lot for my jeans but thats because I ALWAYS wear jeans so I get a lot of use out of them and its hard for me to find a good pair, so when I do I need to snatch them up. As far as shoes and tops I wouldnt spend high prices on them, I dont think its worth it.

One of my girlfriends swears by Seven jeans. She says you have to own a pair to understand just how awesome they are.

Now usually I'd never spend that much on a pair of jeans.....but she's got me curious!
