bawoodsmall wrote: Heres the scoop. Me and Em went shopping yesterday. We went to Younkers and I really couldnt find anything I liked that much. She saw this higher end store in the mall and was like lets go there. I new they would be expensive but I didnt know how expensive. I go in there and all of a sudden the owner who does a lot of djing at our club was bringing me clothes to try on. They are very much worth the money imo. They felt so well made. I fell in love with these pants that are by this person. They were $180.00. Yes that was not a typo. The prob is that I have tons of guilt now. I bought three pairs of pants that cost 370.00 I think. He is letting me pay for them over a few months because we dont have $400.00 just sitting around. My question is should I bite the bullet and take them back and say I am sorry but we really cant afford these. We can over a couple months but I am thinking in my head I could buy a lot of winter clothes for the kids for $180.00 kwim. Those would be the ones I would return. One of the other was on a super sale for $50.00 and one was $105.00.

What should I do??????????????

No kids clothes is worth that if they stayed in them for a few years or more then yes but since they grow out of them so fast no way

bawoodsmall replied: No they were clothes for me. I obviously didnt elaborate or was babbling. Does that make more sense. I would totally not spend that much on kids clothes. I meant that I could buy a whole lotta clothes for them for the amount I spent on one pair of pants for me.

gr33n3y3z replied:
Oh I see now

Maybe buy 1 pair and work on saving for the others
Thats the reason why they are called luxury items is bc your not supposed to have a ton of them
Enjoy

PrairieMom replied: JMHO, I would take them back. that is a ton of $.

Bamamom replied: I'd keep the $50 pair and take the others back. But then I'm a $19.99 Levi's girl so take my opinion with a grain of salt!

MommyToAshley replied: I paid that much for clothes when I worked outside of the home and had to dress in suits for work. However, now that I work at home, I probably wouldn't pay that much for clothes. I am always spending money on Ashley and buying her cute clothes, but I seldom buy myself anything. I think I should treat myself to something nice, DH is always telling me to do it, but then I would feel guilty about it so I never do. So, my advice to you is that if you can afford it, treat yourself. But, I probably wouldn't take my own advice.

bawoodsmall replied:
Yeah I totally am that person. I was at Younkers and was thinking I am not spending $60.00 on a pair of pants. I got pulled in somehow. I am really leaning towards taking them back I just feel bad because he was doing me a favor by letting me do it over a few months. Tara..I am not even sure I would be able to enjoy the pants because I would always feel guilty. That is a crap load of money for one pair of pants.
More advice ladies.

My3LilMonkeys replied: My personal opinion is if you can't afford them right now, take them back. Save up for them and when you have the $$ in hand, if you still want them, then buy them. You'll be able to enjoy them a lot more that way.

msoulz replied:
I think that is good advice!

Brias3 replied: See I'm kind of the opposite- it sounds to me like this is something you never do, so if you like them that much, I'd keep them and make it a "once in a great, great, while" type of buy. But then again, you want to enjoy them to the fullest too and if you think you're going to feel too much guilt, maybe just keep one pair? Or the two pairs that were on sale?

HuskerMom replied:
I agree!

MoonMama replied:
I agree and as long as its not something that will effect the family and other bills and such....I say go for it, its not like you do it all the time and you definitely deserve it.

Calimama replied: Honestly I say don't buy it if you can't afford it. Not even a cute pair of pants is worth debt IMO

My2Beauties replied: I think it's ok to splurge on yourself once in a while. Maybe keep 1 or 2 pair and take the rest back but don't feel guilty over it.

jcc64 replied: I agree with Lea Ann. Keep a pair, return the other two. Now you know where they are when you have the money...
