What’s wrong with spending on yourself??? At this moment I’m wearing a

Ralph wig: $3,700
Bassler suit: $1,100 ( was on sale from $2,000)
Steward Weitzman shoes:$500( you can’t put a price on comfort)
Stockings: $12 ( since I bought a dozen it came out to only $12 a pair
Purse: Coach bag for only $375( was on sale at Macys Memorial day sale)


Nothing wrong with it.

There are days I wear Eileen Fisher. There are days I wear Target. There are days I combine the two.

There are days I wear Sam Edelman shoes. There are days ... oh, who am I kidding. I almost always wear Sam Edelman shoes. Well, OK, I do have Fly London as well. And Skechers. Skechers makes a great sandal.

And while my purse collection doesn't rival Fox's, I have plenty of Coach, Kate Spade, Dooney and Zac Posen. And a great Old Navy tote for the park.

My only objection is to your "only." You didn't "only" spend $375 on a purse, you spent a lot of money. Own it. Same with the suit.

I can't figure out if you are being serious or not. You have an "excuse" after each item which is making me wonder if you are "defending" yourself or if this is satire.



I did that because people always have to defend themselves if they are wearing expensive stuff. We see it here a lot. Isn’t that so?

Why does size matter?

From my experience, when I’m bigger, it’s more expensive. I can’t find nice larger clothing in discount stores. I’m going back to work soon and I have a few events coming up, so I went to a few clothing stores around Flatbush. I was literally ripped off.

I honestly can’t remember how much my clothing cost. And like are we including alterations? Makeup? Underwear? Percentage of income? Are you on programs or not? I mean it’s crucial to know all this.

I bought it from a Frum guy who swore to me it’s legit closeout. It’s a small purse thing.
