I buy expensive perfume and shoes. / myLot

I am usually thrifty with my money. I have some clothes that I have been using for decades and I am not remodeling my house all the time. But there are two things that I buy expensive: perfume and shoes. I am very picky with perfume and it not only has to be the most expensive french perfume, but also onbe that suits my skin. I have been using Paloma Picasso for some years. It has a twin eau de toilette that has the same perfume as the perfume itself, but softer. I use that for the day and the perfum when I go to a party. My shoes have to caress my feet instead of hurting them. That´s why I usually end up with very expensive shoes. Even when I buy flip-flops I buy the very best. I am completly happy when I find good shoes and I close my eyes when I am paying. Fortunatly, my shoes last me a very long time. How about you? Where do you spend most of your money as garments go? Are you more interested in comfort or you prefer to look like a model?

When it comes to my work, I prefer to buy branded shoes because of their qualities. I do not like buying shoes every month so I do not care even if the shoes are expensive as long as I can use it for many years. I am not much into perfumes, but if someone will give me perfumes then I will use it. However, if me myself will buy the perfumes, I won't.

I usually spend my money with books and with trips. Those are the things that make me happy. Anyway, I just spend the money I earn from my part-time job for those things. All my money from my full-time job is willingly given to my mom who does the budgeting in our house.

I will not use a perfume that I don´t like even if someone gives it to me. You are a nice daughter.

@marguicha Thank you so much. My mom is complaining that I keep on working and does not spend much time talking with her. I feel guilty a bit. It is true, I have been working hard to be a good provider and also to save more money to do the things I want to do.

@marguicha Well, if I do not like the smell of the perfume, I also do not use it. But it rarely happens.

I like my clothes to fit well, and I care about comfort. I keep my clothes for ages too. I don't spend a lot of money, I'm frugal with everything. I also have too many shoes that I have bought over the years and worn very little. I wont buy any clothes any time soon.

I have given away countless pairs of shoes that did not fit as I wanted.

@marguicha Put them on and walk all over the store, that should tell you if they will be comfortable.

@RubyHawk I do that and have done that all my life. But now my skin is so tender that everything is too much

I think good shoes are very important, if your feet are not happy, you will not be happy. I want to always be comfortable in my clothing.

It's my hobbies for me. One of them is cycling. My bicycle alone costs more than $6000 and that doesn't include the cycling shoes and jerseys I buy. Another is anything connected to planners. I have more than ten leather planners and each costs at least $75. I also like high end makeups but I'm controlling myself from buying the most expensive ones as I don't even know how to apply them properly.

If you can pay for that, good for you!

I used to buy several things I don´t anymore. But I have the wonderful memories.

I usually like to spend on clothes and handbags. I do not follow fashion blindly but i do like to explore them at times. When it comes to buying garments comfort is the sure thing i am looking for.

I loved to be on fashion when I was young, back in the 60s. I was rather nice looking and made my own clothes buying the best fabrics.
