Nearly every teenage girl in today's society aspires to own at least one designer item. In particularly affluent communities, Coach purses and Chanel sunglasses are not uncommon. Although I find this fad trivial and unnecessary, I too immensely enjoy looking through a Marc Jacobs store window at the dresses that catch the light in the most perfect, tempting way. My advice to those teens who want to dig deep into their (or their parents') pockets is: splurge on something worthwhile and eye-catching! For example, if you absolutely HAVE to own something from the Dooney & Bourke collection, purchase an especially pretty purse that is completely unique. Exhibit A: the picture on the left. This Juicy Couture dress (see title link) is quite pretty and perfect for a warm summer day. However, there is absolutely nothing special about it that would make it stand out in a crowd of people. In fact, I am sure you could find a carbon copy at your nearest Target store. The price for this casual, commonly-designed dress? $198!
So if you must invest two hundred dollars into one piece of apparel, do yourself a favor and buy something worth the investment. At least you will find some glory in it.
