Yeah, I buy upscale stuff. But I use what I buy and mend things if they break. I don't even donate stuff to charity cos I'm still using all of it. I only have 6 or 7 pairs of jeans for instance, and 3 of them are $58 Gap ultra low rise. But the others are $160 Diesel jeans or $180 DKNYs, also ultra low rise. I think top end merchandise fits better and lasts longer, personally. I also was ultra-poor growing up (think free government cheese) so I'm sure that has to do with my materialism.
But I'm tall too and have to alter pants, jackets, etc. to fit my height so everything I buy is an investment. I'd love to be able to wear a size medium abercrombie sweatpants offf the rack (that'd be so easy!!!!), but they come up to right below my knees! I have a 35" inseam, but I wear a 37" pants leg cos I wear shoes with little heels. I'm so psyched to go to the UK and do some shopping cos they have my sizes over there!!!! I do my best shopping overseas!!!!
