However, financially speaking it's just not viable for the average person to own that many designer pieces and that's ok too XPatricia Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509507965753731867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359931839560351563.post-84479805468861761602017-04-22T13:29:35.352+01:002017-04-22T13:29:35.352+01:00This is really interesting. I was always the same,...This is really interesting. I was always the same, I love high street and I also love getting things from market stalls and independent boutiques to get something a bit more unique. Lately I've found myself coveting designer pieces more, and I really think it's an age thing. I recently bought a classic second hand Gucci belt from Vestiare Collective, and i love having something so iconic and luxury in my wardrobe. I'm hoping it lasts for years and years, as I definitely don't think I could justify shellingout for something just because it's on trend and would date after a couple of seasons. Thanks for sharing your own stance, I love hearing about other bloggers' inspirations and choices when it comes to fashion purchases.<br /><br />Ellie x<br /><br />www.shoestringthreads.comEllie Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198687179633084810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359931839560351563.post-59940485665322605412017-04-13T11:49:40.776+01:002017-04-13T11:49:40.776+01:00Thank you Eva! It's particularly nice to hear ...Thank you Eva! It's particularly nice to hear why you love investing in designer, I find it so interesting. That's exactly it. I don't want to buy something purely because it's on trend right now and all the other bloggers are wearing it, in order to make an investment I want to really love something and as you said, value the fashion story behind it.

I'm kind of the opposite to you in that I love designer items and I actually always have - I've always loved the history behind fashion houses and therefore feeling like you own a piece of that when you invest in one of their items, as well as the special feeling you get by both shopping and wearing luxury. (It sounds ridiculous, but it's true!) However, I do think its a shame that in the blogging world, it would seem more that people are buying luxury to wear almost as a badge of honour, or to be with the 'in crowd', more than any appreciation of the fashion house or item itself. It's all a little too braggy and all about the labels, as opposed to real style. So it's definitely refreshing to come across bloggers who are still keeping true to themselves and sticking to the high street if that's what they prefer! Loved this outfit! <br /><br /><a href="http://whatevawears.co.uk" rel="nofollow">whatevawears.co.uk</a> What Eva Wearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392379829779314321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359931839560351563.post-72456487002988521442017-04-11T18:48:19.530+01:002017-04-11T18:48:19.530+01:00I'm with you on that one Robyn.

Luckily, there's plenty to choose from on the high street too!

I love finding things on the high street, especially trend-led pieces because they're more affordable than designer (of course) and if I fall out of love with it it doesn't matter so much...

I feel like I'm the only blogger without anything designer really and to be honest, as much as I love the items, I switch up my outfits too much to stick to the same handbag for a year! I'm all about high street!

I don't know if it's my age or whatever, but designer pieces just aren't as appealing to say things in Zara or where ever else on the high street! xxxHolly Rebecca Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546356545355505787noreply@blogger.com
