I shop for a handbag to match an outfit, in terms of color, size and material, if that's available, I'll go for it.

I cannot afford expensive brands, or maybe I can but don't see any convencing reason to put up with their priciing. Even my sunglasses are always the ones that don't show big logos on the sides.

I really do feel an idiot for allowing myself to be a walking ad. for any given brand.
