The Things No One Tells You About Designer Shopping |luxury worth buying? avoid worst purchases haul
Рет қаралды 55,581
Күн бұрынHi guys, I'm Eileen. In this video, I share with you the secrets about designer shopping no one talks about. Whether if it's Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel or Dior, if you're into luxury brands, I hope this video will open your eyes to a different side of expensive brands. These are the things I really wish I knew 10 years earlier. I would have shopped so much more intentionally and avoided many luxury regrets. Massive hauls and endless unboxing really cost you a lot more than you think. I hope this video will give you some clarity about what truly is worth buying. Let's all enjoy responsible spending and value our money more xx

“No one really cares what we wear.” This is so true and why people should really change their mindset and start dressing up for THEMSELVES, not anyone else. If it makes you feel good, DO IT. It really is life changing when you start to do things for yourself rather than anyone else, because when YOU feel good about yourself, others will start to perceive you more positively too. Try it and see for yourself!

But people actually do care what you wear if you're attracting attention or eclipsing them in some way! I used to dress for myself and still largely do but it was pointed out to me that I was the only woman in law school who "wore red lipstick" as if that were a crime, and I made some electric blue jodhpurs which I wore with a black mohair oversized sweater and black patent leather pointed short boots with zip at the back. I was just genuinely enjoying myself and I created a massive stir. Everyone knew who I was. It may not help that I'm tall as well. But I figured if not now then when? I was told "turn it down" but I realised it was getting up people's noses and I had to just not listen or I would become a mouse. Clothes are an important means of self expression and sometimes people just do not want to allow you to shine.

Good points. I also always try to remember, that unboxing and hauls does not mean that the person is actually keeping the stuff. They might order, unbox, show haul clothing with tags on, and send them all back 🤷♀️
@chloeanastazia7398 3 жыл бұрын
Many do that.... Which is not necessarily « wrong » but it does lead candid viewers to consume more and more as if it was normal. I, for instance, buy a lot online 🙈... however, once my packages arrive home, I try them on, inspecte the quality of the fabric which is hard to tell when shopping online, then only I keep the pieces that make me look like a million bucks. The WOUAH pieces. 😍😍😍..which are not that many!! However, it takes months or even years before I splurge on a designer handbag.... and even in that case, I’ll buy bags that I ADMIRE even if they’re not «trendy» anymore and the flock has moved on to another « it bag »... I don’t have time nor the desire to keep up with that... I focus on buying what I LOVE, what WOKRS FOR ME AND MY LIFESTYLE.

I feel there is so much pressure now to have all the “classics” first ... but truly they just don’t work for us all at the same time. I learned my lesson with certain styles and now I buy what I know will fit my lifestyle/climate where I live and then of course the fun ones that makes ur heart smile, but making sure it’s mindful.

😩 when the client advisor in Chanel says "I can't believe you don't own a classic" 🤦♀️ my FOMO kicked in... even though i knew it wasn't for me! I always thought they were granny bags and impractical but I just have "sucker" written on my forehead... she brought the small and medium out for me and told me to try them and then I said oh you know what they don't look that big or frumpy. Maybe I should have just one. The thing is I didn't impulse buy on the spot. I went home and watched every YT video I could find and everyone raves about the classic flaps. So after I few months I decided I HAVE to have a M/L classic flap. Problem was - Chanel had just hiked their prices but I had made up my mind and ended up paying $2k aud more for a bag I thought I needed. Didn't use it for about 5 months not just because of the price but because I'm alway reaching for my WoCs and mini and small bags. Had the bag for maybe 10 months and used it twice. Once on a day out in the city where I was shopping and found it really impractical to get in and out of (double flap and small interior), and the second time I learned my lesson and took it to a Hamilton where I didn't really need to constantly open the bag. Don't get me wrong I'll never sell it now, but does it work for me? Right now, not really... I need to stop being so easily influenced by what people say and just go with my gut.

I love your point about not aspiring to be one of the fashion influencers because I honestly don’t hav the budget for it but it used to make me feel bad I couldn’t afford all these items. It certainly does make a lot of sense when it comes to regrets regarding FOMO. I would choose the vacation over the bag. I have made a mental note. I have watched videos in the past about how to save for luxury goods and they emphasize giving up eating out, coffees, vacations, which is basically all the things I enjoy. Eating out once a week does not make a huge dent in my budget like a luxury handbag does. I stopped watching those videos because I realized those are things I don’t want to give up to buy expensive stuff. I just want to enjoy a couple of items and live my life.

Having a clear visual on what I really want and why saved me a lot of credit card debt. I always think before buying something - am I just trying to make up for not being able to afford my wishlist yet? - because otherwise it’s just making me further away from what I really wanted in the first place. My resources are finite, so I have to be disciplined when shopping and the things I want are not trendy enough to make me fear they will be out of style when I actually can afford it. In the end, it all boils down to knowing myself. Personally, what makes my shopping experience much more enjoyable is when I buy anything without worrying about how much is it or if my card will be denied, it’s liberating!

Eileen you keep my head in style & my feet on the ground😉🙏⭐️ A wish list for wardrobe & really any other important places in our lives, can truly keep us on track. I like Karma (formerly Shoptgr) for keeping wishlists & when those items are on sale. Buying more classic styles with multiple uses helps to keep those items in rotation. If you don’t find yourself utilizing most of what you own, those items can be removed. Over the years, I’ve had a few items I regretted selling & I bought them again. Those I know I love! I was able to purchase an amazing car a few years ago and for me, the shine has never left. I appreciate my car every time I drive her. She’s an Audi Q5 with a German name of course, Karlie💝I am a Motorsports lover & I feel so happy & grateful behind the wheel of Miss Karlie🏁 I think, as you’ve often discussed, that intentional shopping is the key🙏

It't not a bargain if you don't actually use it. The other thing is the excitement factor especially with the lighting. I saw this today, I tried on a Valentino Rockstud bag and it looked terrific. BUT then I realised it was the lighting.

Cheering at every point!! I definitely at one point had started consuming luxury bags like fast fashion. This past year I have stepped back and looked at my spending and wardrobe and am trying to focus on my finances (thankfully no debt to worry about!)

These videos help me de-clutter as I’ve held on to things that I no longer or never did enjoy. I kept them because I paid for them and I thought I’d need it for a trend or specific situation. But none of those things really matter. I want my space and simplicity back like when I was a child and had very little yet was really happy.

It is interesting how items I didn’t love in the store are really serving me so well. And items I loved so much in the boutique become just a things in my closet😀 small example here. A year ago I have purchased a simple Longchamp la pliage backpack. When I purchased it there was not so much excitement about it. But i am using it so much right now that I started to appreciate this bag more and more. And my one and only lady Dior in abc size. I swear each time I am thinking to take this bag out to the public I started to be paranoid that something will happen and my expensive bag will be ruined. 😒 especially because I have a Dior clutch that got a little bit dirty over times😩I can see the point right know.

Thanks for not normalizing luxury goods. Hello Eileen, On your question for travel vs luxury, I never thought of luxury before lockdown as my main expense was travel. But due to the current situation I noticed I had surplus money and wanted to spend on luxury to fill that void. The only thing that stopped me was the question: ok in this much money where could I have travelled! and voila just like that luxury shopping felt unauthentic to me. Thanks for your content. Cheers.

I needed this. During Covid I got so wasteful with my money, because I am unhappy and I feel frustrated about the situation. So I have the urge to make me feel better and having a shopping fix. But it feels so wrong. I need to change this. But at least I would never put myself into debt.. Thanks for the video!

Your videos are so refreshing.. I actually unsubscribed to those youtuber that keep on buying and unboxing. I know it’s their money but it’s my way of keeping away to those that can make me feel less and make me feel that I need those bags. I am now more mindful with my purchases and your videos helps a lot. Thanks!

I do genuinely enjoy the artistic and designs of certain luxurious things and would be very willing to pay/work my time for them instead of rationing from financial perspective, especially with an attitude that life is to savor/enjoy with mistakes and unsound discretions . With that said, your points have been like breeze to cool things when certain times I clearly knew I got deeper in certain directions. While I am still the reasonably unreasonable me inside, I take second/third thoughts to prioritize my desire/decisions, such as I feel more willing to wishlist a Hawaii vacation house instead of owning beautiful thing which will bring me joy. Money wise, it goes to more important place; and reality wise, owning less certainly benefit more to have a stress less life especially luxurious things do not seem to take a place in a side beach style life where I may only need comfortable clothes, canvas tote and sunscreen to feel good. Thank you.

I have always choose trips over buying a LV or chanel handbag. My trips are usually so memorable and I get to expose my son to different cultures , people and food. A chanel handbag does not hold my items no better than a handbag that cost $600. However when I see my investments and my bank account that's what makes me happy. Thanks for sharing Eileen. Have a safe week.
