How often do you buy designer clothes?

[DP_woman]

I don't purchase designer clothing, but I'm all for accesories... bought my first designer sunglasses last week, but I'm still feeling guilty.

Yeah, I figured this thread had to emcompass accessories....I think its safe to say, MOST of us are into the designer bags/shoes (or shades), not the clothes.

Not nearly enough....that's all I can say.

I have about a couple of shirts and dresses from designers but nearly all of them were purchased on sale. However, my designer handbag collection was mostly bought at retail. I buy things w/o even thinking, and then when I go back the store, tyhe bag that I bought at full cost is on sale!!

Wow I don't feel so alone anymore when I say never. Thank you.

I buy designer items WAAAAAY more often than I should--I just bought that Matthew Williamson square neck embellished top, those super-hot-right-now Johnson shorts, preordered the Michelle Mason Jersey Halter Dress, a Nui tube dress, Fendi Spy Bag (granted it's a replica but still cost me $250). . .omg I'm making myself sick I need to stop, haha

usually when they're on sale. mostly impulse buys.
i also buy right after a bad quarrel with husband - on his credit of course.
i have quite a few pieces hanging in my closet, never worn. i have to stop this madness.

I buy mostly designer stuff, at full price when it's a must have but otherwise during sales...BUT i *never* follow trendy stuff or buy on impulse, my wardrobe consists of basic, classic items and I will only shop for something when I feel it is a necessary addition to my wardrobe, so that means I don't shop that often during the year as I'm not a fan of shopping for the sake of it. Overall my style philosophy is simple and straightforward.

The only designer items I buy are perfumes.I'm a student so I can't afford designer clothing or accessories.I have a few designer clothes that were given to me by my ex-boyfriend's sister (when she had grown out of them) but thats about it.

 

[Mettchen]

i buy designer clothes, shoes and accesories every now and then. and almost always on sale unless it's something i can't live without and it never really is. also i buy a lot on eBay. though, i'm more likely to spoil myself with an expensive pair of shoes or bag than a sweater. that's what h&m is for.

 

[evisu donna]

No never, I'm a student

 

[dsq]

i don't go out with a purpose to buy designer, i buy whatever looks nice and fits well; and if that happens to be from a big designer, then so be it.

 

[nycgirl84]

Except for jeans, if that even counts, then nothing. Way, way too expensive for my current budget, which I don't see appreciably changing any time soon.

 

[shoe_addict]

I hardly buy high end designer quality clothes. But I always buy branded clothes.

 

[I_killed_couture]

I purchase designer clothes whenever I can afford to lol

 

[greeen]

Not just yet..but when stupid college is over.. yippee!

Never. I'm also a student, with a monthly 6000 NOK (that's about 900 USD) to cover rent (boom, there goes half the money!), food, telephone, other bills e.t.c. . Nope, there's not much left to spend on designer clothing I'm afraid


I've never been the girl to care much about brands or names; I love second-hand shopping, I love bargain-hunting, and mixing old with new. And I bet 40 - 50 % of my wardrobe consists of clothes from HM... My make-up and perfumes on the other hand are all designer.

The most expencive item in my wardrobe now is my new, lovely black jacket from Filippa K. I adore scandinavian design!

 

[mr.minglesworth]

designer clothes: rarely. designer shoes or wallets or other paraphernalia: whenever i can. Because im a student and i only get like $300 a month for spending (car, housing, food is payed for), that money goes right out the window after just a weekend of going out and drinking...but i did work all summer and made a bunch of money (which was promptly spent), and so i bought several pieces, some of which were on sale and others were not. right now im dying for some new sunglasses...im using my dad's raybans from the 80s currently.

 

[susie_bubble]

It does pain me that I can't afford a lot of designer stuff when I'm walking around Selfridges but I make the odd deisnger purchase during sales and I get a bit more financial boost when I'm in HK, so I can afford to buy designers there. Nothing EXTREMELY high end tho....Marc, Marni, Miu Miu (and any designer beginning with M...! ) I also love consignment stores and designer sample sales and can pick up cheapies there. As Mettchen said, I also use Ebay a lot.

I have lots of designer clothes, and they are all my mom's hand-me-downs and we share our closets basically. (good thing mom had good taste) :-P I'm 13, and really, who needs designer clothes when you're my age?

But on my birthday and for special occaisions I buy designer clothes sometimes.
