Is chasing a fashionable images a waste of time and money?

I dun chase after fashion.. haha =D It's really a waste of time for me.. IT's more than good enough to know which are the fashionable things at the moment, and what's the trend.. haha =D I can be following, but i need not be wearing them to show off right?? hehe We are supposed to bring life to whatever we are wearing and not the other way round.. PLus, not everybody is suitable for the most trendy thing.. WHat happens if one turns out weird in that particular trend?? Who's to be blame?? haha =D

To me was aways a waste of time and money when I can go to someplae and get almost the same thing cheaper with out the brand name on it silly to spend money on brand names!!!!!

No am not a slave to fashion. I normally keep to my own style of dressing and would not fall prey to the fashion world. Fashion changes very fast simply because of cash hungry businessmen. Fashion is a huge business and income derived from the ever changing fashion trend has made many traders millionaires. It is just a waste of money to be following the latest trend as any latest fashion will surely burn the pocket.

I like to look good first of all for myself because I am someone who like to please oneself first then others like my sisters and boyfriend. So I shop a lot and shop only for things I know will look good on it, so no waste of too much money though. We are young and we like to get dressed well and to follow fashion a bit, however to become slave to fashion is not for me.

Since I'm at work during weekdays most of my choices are those that can be worn in the office. I buy clothes and other apparels that I'm comfortable wearing and appropriate in my place of work. I do follow some trendy fashion at times but only when they fit my age. Fashion doesn't have to be a pain in the pocket, and elegance doesn't necessarily mean expensive. One can still look elegant without spending a fortune.

Personally, i shop for the things that i like. I don't shop to suit someone elses tastes. I think a need to satisfy yourself, is more important, than trying to : keep up with the jones's, so to speak. I don't try to impress others with my dress and the things that i put into my home. I buy what i like, and what i think that i can use. Mostly i like jeans, so i do buy a lot of jeans. Capri's is also a favorite of mine in the summer time.

I have my own style I tend to stick with, no matter what others are doing, I like to dress my way. I want to be comfortable and if I do not think I look right I will not wear it. Have a great day.

I think it is really common for young people especially to go after all the latest trends. I know my 15 year old is really into fashion but to her credit she does not go running after everything new that comes out. She is pretty careful with her money. We actually shop at thrift stores quite a bit where we can find really fashionable clothes at real reasonable prices.

Yes it is a waste of time and money because she is spending so much to attract the world. she is not looking at her future to save money.In the future there will be problems and she cannot sell clothes and shoes for a good amount of money.She will have to take loans which will get her in problems.If she is from a rich family and there is no money problem in her life she can spend that way.

hello well, i am not really that trendy...hehe i just dress for comfort! i wear what i fell is nice for me and what is available...i don't always buy new clothes and apparels, when i buy clothes, i just buy those that are classic? hehe i mean those clothes that never gets out of style... maybe to some its not a waste of time & money for that brings happiness to them...but for me, its just fine also...if you have money to spend and if it looks good on you...

I buy for myself.I don't choose clothes that will please other people.I buy clothes that are comfortable and will make me sexy and confident.I choose the classic trends.I am one of those people who hate bumping into someone who has the same clothes as I have.I shop for vintage clothes because it makes me feel confident because I know in my area,I am the only one with that piece.

I don't care about fashion. I dress to be comfortable, always. I will wear a sweater during the summer and a skirt in the winter. I do not care about what style is in, I have my own style. I love trendy things and I do buy stylish stuff at times, but I'm not into "keeping up with the trends". I absolutely adore seeing the styles where ever I go, but I can't get into it like that...AND I'M FROM LOS ANGELES lol

Hello neelianoscet, another good discussion. I think chasing a fashioonable images is not a waste of time, but waste of money, or both. it is truth that nobody wants to be out of fashion when he/she is walking on the road, and maybe nobody wants to become one of the person who being neglect. According to my experience, those who are more fashion is more easy to get friends, and those who are out of fashion, not easy to get friends. So I think to chasing fashionable images is a must. But fashion doesn't mean that you have to buy a lot of clothes and accessories, you can choose those ones that is not easy to become out of fashion. But I don't chase fashionable image personally, I am a person who don't like to attract other's attention that much.

I think fashion is good if you have the money to spend for it. I think alot of people go into debt and spend way more than they should at times though. I think it should be bought in moderation.

Absolutely! I have three children, one of which is a 14 year old daughter. I have seem so many different styles come and go. It does frustrate me that there are styles that look terrible that cost so much and will be out of fashion within months. I remember when Tommy clothes were so expensive and now you can't give that away. Or now he one going out is American eagle. Which is making way for element and dc. Which will become out for something else. You are better off buying some neutrals in a no name brand that will outlast all these silly trends.

I have lots of clothes, shoes, scarves, jewerly and bags. Not to stay in fashion. I dont even care if what i get is in fashion or not. As long as i like it i get it and use it. I buy according to my likes not to fashion.

Hmm...Would I say that I'm a "slave to fashion"? Slave probably wouldn't be the word I'd use, but I do like to follow trends so yes that would make me very fashionable and somewhat trendy. Do I go out and buy every trend? No I can't be bothered to but I will splurge now and then with very chic pieces. I won't say that I have a ton of clothing because I prefer to buy a fewer more expensive pieces that will last a while, rather than tons of cheaper priced clothing. I buy expensive purses but not anything too trendy because I don't want to look dated. Everyone is different but that's how I shop. I will also say that I'm more trendy when I'm in Europe then when I'm here in North America, and you would never see me running around in yoga wear over there, like I do here sometimes. I don't know... I suppose it's just being surrounded by fashionista's around you and that kind of "rubs off on you", me in this case. It's quite funny because when I first married my husband, he was somewhat fashion challenged, but now he's become quite the fashionista, it's hilarious really but cute I think. But no I don't think being fashionable is a waste of time, providing you can afford it and don't get yourself into debt over it!!! I've always been into fashion ever since I was a little kid, and getting my Mom to buy me Vogue magazine when I was 8!

I shop for the things I need and like on me. I do not shop to be fashionable. I do not thing it is a waste of time if that is what you like to do. There are many people who like to be the first to wear a new fashionable dress and if that is what they want then why should I say it is a waste of their time.

Well, using the old scruff that hangs out in my mirror as an example, I know we can put a business suit on the old boy and he'd look a lot better. But I also know he'd still be the old scruff, so what's the point? It makes no sense to me to go to all the trouble and money of pursuing someone else's persona..to be so concerned with looking, talking, acting like someone else when, I feel, the whole reason for me being here is to be me. Trust me, that's hard enough in and of itself at times. Then complicate it more by trying desperately to be like someone else? EGADS and no way! ENJOY!
