hello there. :) i really dont mind buying initation or fake goods because they are a lot cheaper than the original ones. and besides, i am in the "frugal" moods these days because i want to save money, so i have to settle for imitation goods. and i dont really have a problem with that because i can carry it well, anyway. thank God. lolz. :)

i am quite o.k with imitations. They look good and match my tastes also. I believe in have more choices than having less and spending more on them.

you're so right. seems to me, when i insist on buying, like a lacoste bag that costs P6,000 plus, i can no longer buy another thing for myself for the next 6-8 months maybe.

To be honest I never worry about a label - I did when I was younger, but now if it's good quality and I like something then I will have it.

same here, altho, i tend to go overboard when it comes to my kids specially when there's a special affair that we'll be attending. but for myself, whatever looks good and feels good is okay with me. it's in the way you carry the clothes and not the label, right?

Imitations are just fine as long as they look ok lol I am not to bothered of having the Genuine ones I prefer to have Imitations Goods as they are also cheaper.

guess, as we grow older, things like labels and prices and what people might say don't matter anymore, huh? i notice that it's the young generation nowadays who are so brand conscious, never mind if they spend their week's allowance on just 1 item!

I'm perfectly fine with imitation goods. Life is to short to worry about what you are wearing/eating/etc. Seriously.

uh-huh! why buy a very expensive original when you can have one that looks exactly like it at a much lower price, right?
