she is of the opinion that buying discounted branded stuff is no dif from buying fakes. in her point of view, if u have to shop around for the biggest discounts, u cant afford the bag and am pretending to be something u r not. while my blood did boil when she said that, i would like to get some feedback on what u ladies think? do u think people who buy discounted branded goods are fakers trying to blend in OR financially prudent people trying to get the most bang for their buck?
