yeah, that is a good thing when you love collecting. i also don't stop adding clothes, shoes and accessories. i try to limit it by buying twice a month.

As long as I have a nice job with a good salary, I am willing to spend a high amount of money for buying clothes and etc. I love fashion and I am self-conscious person so I really try to look at my very best.

Oh yeah, when the money is there, who does not love to dress up? Unfortunately the economy can sometimes take a down hill and you are left worried about filling your gas tank more than the looks and dress.

I love to keep up to date with the latest and modestly priced fashion trend. Sometimes I tend to go out of control making sure that at least I have one pair of each trend. You know my brother thinks I have way too many shoes and way too many clothes than necessary

I am not a fashion conscious person at all. I have not bought a shirt or jeans in years. My clothes were bought for me by my girlfriend or my sisters. I go for the grunge look and my shirt are sometimes thrown away by my girlfriend who hates my well worn shirts and jeans.

My mama always told me during Christmas when I would envy my friends wearing all the expensive clothes that were in fashion at the time and I quote "Don't wear expensive to look good, wear classy to feel good." It took me a long time to understand what she meant until I grew up and realized what she meant. All am saying is shopping is what I do for spare time and I don't spend fortune on it!

I think really, sometimes we have to take a break and critically examine this life and what it has to offer and then make decisions based and coming from within us and not what others expect of us.

Maybe an example will elaborate on what I'm trying to say.

For instance given the resources as far as fashion is concerned, I really don't see why one could fail to treat herself or himself with a decent dress or shirt that will make them feel good or proud of their efforts. But I think we should walk a fine line here.

Truly I find it irresponsible and mind boggling to buy those designer clothes for hundreds of thousands of dollars yet one can still find the same quality at a thousand times cheaper down the street. In the same way I find it irresponsible and an injustice to the economy when someone with the resources keeps clinging and wearing their 1930's clothes in the name of saving.

When it comes to fashion my motto is simple, If you can afford it and have extra bucks to spend, then promote the economy - keep the money circulating, soon or later you won't have the taste nor the feeling - use them wisely while the Lord lets you.

Actually i want to do fashion to be a perfect man. i don't want to be a over smart guy. i hate over smartness and some used to spend money to get over smartness. they don't know what fashion will suit them. so they choose randomly everything just to waste money. it is not a kind of spending money.
