As women get bigger, models get smaller

$800?
I'd spend it on travel. The only occasion where's I'd spend $800 on anything to wear would be if one of my favorite fantasies came true and I got to be a presenter at the Academy Awards.

She isn´t the slightest overweight, though. Often it feels as though the fashion world exists in its own little bubble, one that doesn´t deal much with reality.

I completely agree with Monika here.

A lot of people look at it that way. But that $800.00 handbag is so well made (hand made, actually) that I'll carry it for 30 years (even longer) and pass it down to my daughter. I've had bags from the same maker since the 70s, and still in good condition. It actually makes sense in a way: a cheaper bag will fall apart and I'll have to replace it more often. And this particular brand has such a following that I can sell the bag and get most of my money back for it, if I take good care of it.
My sister actually bought me the $800.00+ bag for Christmas. It is my pride and joy! :)

Yep, I'd spend $800 on travel before clothes or handbags too!

Yes, but handbags are for utility. Travel may provide memories/enrichment, but it is just for a season. To each his/her own. I can't resell travel; I can sell a fine handbag.
I once loved to travel but have lost interest in it. It is too much of a bother. My daughter and I travelled all over the US and points in the Carribean when she was a baby, but now I'm burned out. I will send my daughter to a music festival in Italy this summer, however.
