just curious dear..how do you support your expensive taste at 16? are these fantasies/ i remember having them at 16. i would collect vogue & elle mags and dream up my wardrobe, LOL/

For my Christmas present (I buy my own) I just picked up this beautiful vanilla calfskin with brown stitching MIU MIU bag.

And lovely, no, your assumptions wrong. I wouldn't call it "fantasies", because thats far from it, you can admire something, without it being a fantasy, especially in my case when you have realistic and materially sufficient plans to increase your wealth, as well as the stars and the chart.

(and miu miu is nice, but my philosophy is I would never buy anything that I didn't have the lifestyle to afford it, and I believe that should be a rule to everything, my biggest pet peeve is poor prioritizing)

i guess curiousity killed the cat my dear, And I hope you know, which every intellectual would know, that there's a huge difference from dreaming up your wardrobe from someone you want to be verses (what i'm engaged in) which is spending years doing magazine and catalog reading to create a personal flavour and distinct style that reflects who you are, its like a private art and I absolutely adore it and I spend much of my time doing it too because I know i'm not wasting my time.

I read Vogue, Saks, & Casswell-Massey(America's Original Perfumers from 1752, i got their damask rose lotion last christmas, they have great products, check 'em out www.caswellmassey.com/ ) The rest of the fashion magazines like Elle, InStyle, Glamour, Harpers Bazaar, etc. just highlight celebs too much for my taste.

Its not that I don't have the financial backing to support my interests, which is true knowingly, but its the fact that I don't have the lifestyle to afford.

And I already addressed the nature of her question sufficiently:

The point is teaologist, i gave lovely her answer, but you decided to tweak it. Whatever the case, people do what they want, but its really not polite to get someone to repeat what they've already said, especially if its in verbal form.

But I couldnt walk in em now...

Funny story..

I met a woman in the supermarket...she always looks immaculate, like a film star...and she tells me in a very down to earth way that all her clothes come from charity shops and she never ever pays over 5 euros for anything!!

Like my ma used to say, "some people would look good wearing a paper bag"

At this stage I am more worried about what I look like wearing NOTHING (not tooo bad if you keep one eye closed)

It doesn't matter how expensive they are, of ir their sold at saks fifth avenue. Just tell us what you like and lets talk about fashion.

I love premier designer accessories, and i'm into and fond of high end women's fashion, like Thakoon & Doo.ri & Devi Kroell, my absolute favourite designer(S) of all time will always be Costello Tagliapietra...gorgeous. I sort of have this thing for italian fashion, prada, blahnik, jimmy choo, and I am a fan of french fashion house CHANEL. My favourite fashion pieces are jewelry, shoes, & perfume. Of course I can't afford any of that yet, but it is a sure part of my fashion/style identity.

It’s a question about finances. It isn’t a question about moral integrity. It’s a simple question that people of all ages can answer simply.

[to boss] How do you support your expensive taste at 42?
[boss] I manage multiple projects here at the office and run a small, successful beekeeping operation on the side.

[to close friend] How do you support your expensive taste at 25?
[close friend] I buy on-sale in bulk at the flagship urbn and sell for triple the price on eBay.

[to college acquaintance] How do you support your expensive taste at 18?
[college acquaintance] My dad’s a cardiologist.

It’s a simple question.

But since I understand that money can be an issue of taboo, I do not feel that the question deserves to be answered here. It’s fine. I do not want to know. My argument here is in response to this:

teaologist, i hate it that i didn't comprehend that, i know that makes me sound really stupid, but sometimes i'm just extremely slow. (i know that sounds funny, i'm laughing myself) Personally i don't have an income, mostly because of my dads advice of me being in school, (all that will change once I get to college) he doesn't want me to jeopardize my GPA, but i am getting a waitressing job over the summer. I live to serve, (one of my mottos). College classes aren't every day, every hour, so i'll have more freedom to waitress. Waitressing in my adolescence has been something i've always wanted to do.

teologist, thank you for understanding my question.. for fff-saks sake neptune, you're starting to pee-pee me off now so i will address you here & be done with it because you've already answered my question. you can't phunking [like the pun? smartass-know-it all?] afford any of the crap you display here~ YOU FANTASIZE~ which is not right wrong bad or good.

i never made the assumption you were fantasizing, i asked a question and related with you. i was 16 and i did fantasize. did i project a little? YES.

nothing wrong with having "materialistic plans". i had them too. you've again answered my question. you ARE NOT PURCHASING THESE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ITEMS, but merely DREAMING and FANTASIZING about them.

Just phucking own it, ok? unless you are a child actor, a model, a prodigical genius, airess to a fortune, you simply cannot afford the things you've mentioned here. so.. which are you?

precisely my question and point! no one expects you to have all this stuff. you're young. do you even have a job? it is important to preface these types of posts you start, with the truth. you are deluding *some* people, in a small way, leading them to believe you are a phucking millionaire. which by the way is never the best way to win approval or affection. the more you boast about your gifts, they are no longer gifts. know what i mean?

You wanna know the truth. 16 year old girls are a pain in the coochie and you are no exception neptune. But guess what, when you are 30 or 40, you will be much wiser because here you are on the Internet, conversing with all these GENEROUSLY gifted souls, willing to step in and give you some TRUTH.

I mean, this post i wrote took 15 minutes/

...I'm not yelling by the way when i use CAPS. I'm emphasising ONLY.

love to all..and neptune, don't you dare come back with some nonsense little rant on the subject. i will spank you and send you to your room for a time-out and take away computer priveledges!!!!

Respect your elders!

You will GET-IT, whatever IT is, eventually.

Keep on dreaming...

and i understand everything completely, but i guess my 2nd cusp Libra with Venus conjunct Sun conjunct IC in sagittarius, Venus Trine jupiter, & mars conj. p.fort conj MC just got the best of me, its also nice to note that in my solar return chart for 2016 (i'll be at 26 years) i have venus conj. Pluto conj p.fort in my 2nd house, i'm sure we all know what that means, and i know i am a pain in the ***, and i do tell my mother that i am a difficult person, and she replies i make myself difficult, which i may at times, and the reason why i was reluctant to say i was dreaming of this, is because i'm not just dreaming, but according to my charts its type of anticipation, not just a simple generalization of dreaming, like anyone else would do.

But you've been fair enough lovely, we all have, haven't we?
