I remember quite some time ago, my mother bought me a T-shirt. I asked her how much it cost.
"Over one grand," she said.
"What?! I could buy many T-shirts with that same amount of money!" I could not believe what I heard.
"Well, the quality is different."
"I don't see any difference."
Many people go for branded clothes because of the unique design and quality. I do believe designer clothes have their worth.
But too many people buy designer clothes just to flaunt their status and wealth. They think wearing the clothes would turn them into "somebody" and win them respect, not realizing that it is not what you wear but how you behave that speaks volume for yourself.
I do not deny that I once fantasized that someone would buy me designer goods. That was just wishful thinking actually. And imagine myself wearing a Chanel dress, a pair of CD sunglasses, LV shoes and carrying a Burberry bag. How strange I would look! Since I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I should just be an ordinary, contented and happy girl.
I am beginning to have an idea what kind of clothes and style suit me. A hundred-dollar top and a two-hundred-dollar skirt would go very well too. My family and friends often show their approval by passing remarks such as, "I like your style", and "You really look great in that".
Their compliments never fail to make my day.
Knowing that they care about me, that when I have a problem, they would lend a helping hand, that when I am in low spirits, they would show their concern, that they trust me and are willing to share their troubles with me, that they remember my birthday and sincerely offer their best wishes, that I can get up every day and go to the park to exercise, that I can do all I can to help others, and that I can lie comfortably in bed at night, my heart is filled with gratitude and hope. I feel so contented and happy, and because of that, I exude confidence and taste.
