disgruntled.

to quote 'confessions of a shopaholic':

"it's the difference between cost and worth. essentially, something you can't see, can't touch, but it's actually the most valuable commodity..."

after feeling conned myself, i post this with an aim to highlight that in a world of so-called 'bargains,' 'sales' and 'reduced prices' even today high street fashion still manages to trick the most savy individuals into buying items worth [at a guess] 75% more than their manufacturing cost - yes, those shoes you bought should have been a fiver. the next time you see the LBD that you swear is your soul mate, remember that in 6 months it will be in the bottom of your wardrobe, no more than a torn mess. i feel like today shops are pushing the boundaries to see how far they can hike up prices that people will be willing to pay for the latest trends. make sure you are not one of them. shop quaility, not bargains and remind yourself that the high street does not have your best interests at heart.
