Like I said in one of my earlier posts: I wish I had all the money in the world to buy everything I love.
I don't have a lot of money to spend so things can soon get too exprensive.
I can't spend €50 for a jacket or a blazer, though I would kill for it. It's just too much. I'm the youngest of 11, I didn't grow up with Haute Couture so to speak.
I shop a lot at H&M because I love the clothes there and it's cheap!
But still I look at the clothes I can't afford and dream of the day I will be able to afford it.
For example, I would never be able to afford real Levi's (€120) but I do think it's important to own a good pair of jeans.
Another example: I would love a beautiful sophisticated dress by Zara (€80).
Or - if we're really talking about expensive: shoes by Chanel (€695). I love Chanel. I'm desperately waiting for the day that I can afford my own pair.
And of course the beautiful jewelry by Swarovski (watch: €280).
Luckily I don't have to have expensive clothes made by designers known all around the world (it wouldn't hurt to have them, though it would hurt to buy them). I can be perfectly happy with clothes I buy at the H&M - eventhough I know it will break down after a couple of weeks.
As I write this down, I know it's not completely true - I can walk around town, looking at stores where they sell clothes I can't afford or look at pictures in Vogue and drool all over the pages (not because I'm creepy but because everything is gorgeous).
But then I arrive back on Earth and realise that I just have to wait a couple of years longer before I can afford these things. And with that thought I turn the page of the magazine and read about lace.
