But there’s something quite nice about saving pennies and finding bargains. Carrie doesn’t know New Look and their £19.99 heels. She could never possess that smug feeling of wearing a Primark dress when everyone thinks it’s Topshop. I don’t like feeling guilty. I
like telling people I spent £3.99 on a T-shirt from Asda; not £85 just
because someone sewed a (wonky) Abercrombie label onto the bottom left
hand corner.
But are you defined by the clothes you wear on your back? By your shopping bags? I like to think not. But
there’s something almost obsessively indulging about carrying your
groceries in Dior, or walking down Oxford Street laden with bags which
scream wealth. Is it about the actual gift, or the wrapping? Deception can be clever. But when it comes down to it, you’ll never be worth more than the person you are inside. Don’t let shiny wrapping paper tint you. Stay true to yourself.
Watch this space.
