What luxury items did you buy and end up regretting? Or had features that you just didn’t love?

Prada large saffiano wallet. I've pretty much never used it because it's so big and I don't carry bags big enough to hold it. I just use the card case that came inside of it ):

Louboutin pumps, they look gorgeous, but was a torture and ended up in consignment

#2: YSL Sunset in Medium Grey Croc. For the most part I do really like this, love the look and the leather is hard wearing. However, the compartments inside in my opinion make the bag harder to wear. Wish it had one larger compartment and a front pocket instead. Looking back, I might have chosen a more practical bag but I do still wear this!

Yeah an embossed croc YSL would be like $38,000 cheaper than a croc Kelly (also my dream bag too!) 😅

EY2: Chanel and Hermès are two of THE most difficult designers to copy, yes there are good replicas out there but you can almost 99% spot them out (if you know how to). Gucci’s overall quality has dropped significantly so I wouldn’t even recommend buying Gucci bags, shoes however, come to mama! Lol.

Good for you! It's unrelated to the brand to me! I just don't wear scarves in general. Never got used to them

#1: I ended up selling this and getting my money back, but as beautiful as the JW Anderson Pierce bag was, putting any non-flat item inside left unflattering indents on the exterior leather. The bloggers I’ve seen with this bag (that really wear it often) will share pics where I can just tell that it hasn’t worn well over time.

Also didn’t love the no cross body strap thing, but that’s just personal preference.

I bought a pair of Manolo’s that I had to return, they were gorgeous but just not my style at all and I never wanted to wear them :(

Prada lug boots on sale.. online.. non refundable 😩 I need to stretch them out because my feet are a bit wide for them.

For me its the lady dior mini. It looks so nice but i just can’t pull it off wearing it. Also doesn’t fit a large sized iphone xr

Already sold! I couldn’t pull it off because it looks too “princessy” and too dressy. It looks better when it is there as a decoration but when i wear it as a crossbody i just look like a barbie lol. And my style isn’t even casual - i tend to dress up

Burberry, Balenciaga, and LV sneakers. I got blisters with all of them immediately and returned. I figured that Gucci is prob the only European luxury brand that learned how to make good sneakers. Other than that, I get my kicks from American makers only.

Cartier Love bracelet. I tried to convince myself it was worth it, but it was just hideous to my liking, and felt like a handcuff.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
