As my life improved year after year, my lifestyle also catches up. It is not at the same pace as my actual improvement, but I do remember in my early years moving from yard sale to K-mart, to Target, and then eventually to some department stores' on sale items. Of course, as any middle class girl, going shopping for sales item at Zara and Mango is also part of the deal.
Lately, I have noticed the clothes hung in Lane Crawford or Harvey Nichols have such a wider selection and made from better material. There are just more color, more style, and a lot more pleasing to look at than the often monotone styles in other mass market shops. They are more expensive and even after sale, I can't find much under US$200. But they look good. I could be becoming materialistic, but I think money can improve your life. Add more color, feeling, and quality to it. And perhaps that would permeate to your mood and the way you treat others.
Would I be able to spend that much on clothes every month? It would be good to allow US$1000 every month to buy the newest items. It wouldn't make a huge difference to the bottom line, but add a lot to my life. I am also by nature conservative with my money, and am sticking with Shenzhen shopping trips and online shopping for now. I know where the next step is though...
