Has fashion made you Rich or Poor???

[iconemod]

All along your relationship with fashion, did it reward you (in $$$$) somehow?
I mean, if you wrote articles as a journalist, or if you did some eds or photo shootings. .. Or did it make your bank yell of rage? (in case you couldn't resist some tentation at a boutique)
Tell us your fashion cashflow, so far!!

All I can say is that I could still profit from it Got paid for my editorial work , but sometimes the price of luxury did get into my nerves....

Fashion has made me rich and poor. I am now trying to get a good balance, or work so hard I don't have time to spend what I earn. Slowly getting there

I have a love/hate relationship with the new collections each season and need to start resisting temptation.

Poor & starving in Gucci & YSL...

I must admit that Fashion gets me broke & stressed-out.

I`m a Student with no job at the moment, still I just MUST have the latest Gucci Runway Jacket or the latest YSL or LV Bag...

...and then when I have it I sit at home, no money to go out, nothing to eat and all stressed with raising money for the next Must-Have Item...*sigh*

I think I'll wait until i have an actual job to be poor. I still have a few months before I can no longer say "I'm a poor student".

It really depends - As for me, I really don't buy stuffs that I cannot afford. All of my designer stuffs like bags and shoes and expensive accessories comes from my parents.

I do also make money out of selling some of my stuffs, like I do buy and sell designer bags.

That's so true it hurts, but don't you think exactly that moment sitting at home would be an AWESOME idea for a fashion ed??? I would put Kate on it with her waif-like face.. let's get the Time Machine!!!
But you're right.. fashion can really ruin not only your credit card but also your weekends... (unleast someone visits you for getting a "closer" look to your frocks )

That's me!

 

[Lena]

can't say fashion has actually made me rich but it sure pays the rent and those long vacations.. i've always worked with fashion since finishing highschool (which was agaes ago)

of course i dont spend on designer stuff, i find this a total waste of money, most luxury items have such a short expire date.. i'm an anti consumer, but can easily spend $$$ on the occasional vintage, antiques or unique pieces

 

[helena]

well fashion hasn't made me poor but I'd be a lot richer if it weren't for it!!! LOL

I concur...

 

[As You Like It]

Fashion and I break even. My sewing skills get me commission work which funds the next additions to my wardrobe, which I will also make. People notice my unusual clothes, and ask where I get them, I tell them I make it, and sometimes they pay me to make things for them, too!

 

[Yppe]

Definetely poor. I'm a student who doesn't work, so all the money I receive from my parents disappear in a couple of days, and fashion is guilty of it!

 

[SanDiego]

Poor!!!

I figured if I want something give myself a target date and then divide the total cost of the item (tax included) by the number of weeks (my target date) and then that's how much I need to save each week in order to have that item. It seems to be working pretty good now.

 

[Fashion Puss]

Well, only yesterday I spend the money that was meant to be the gass bill money and bought a silk skirt instead - whoops!

but I would say fashion has turned me into a recycler - I buy it, wear it, sell it on ebay. Life could be worse!
