Fake, Real and the Street

By Jibbywest @fashionaddictsu
Hi dolls... This is an 'advice' post. There is an issue that has been bugging me for a while. I've had this convo a million and one times with friends, family and the 'offenders' just to have different opinions and share mine too :).
I'm sure you are wondering what I'm talking about, it's more of a question really... Why do people accommodate counterfeit contraband??? I'm talking about people who wear fake pieces. Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Christian Louboutin, Gucci etc are just a few brands that have been cloned.
The funny thing is that from afar the pieces look so real but upon closer inspection you can tell it's not the real deal. The whole point of splurging on luxury items is the feeling you get when you walk into the store, pay for quality and enjoy the piece. in short, it is an investment!!!
That feeling can still be achieved when you purchase items from high street stores. If you can't afford luxury, buy from the high street instead of buying a fake. The quality is way better and the styles are similar.

If you are in love with a particular style, you can get something similar from the high street instead of buying the fake of the brand.

I guess what I am trying to say is instead of wasting money buying the fake of a product that would probably not last for long, save and buy the original. If you can't afford it yet, buy from boutiques and the high street!!!
