Lesson 15
The fashionistaYou lie awake at night seriously stressing about the bills you need to pay and the washing machine that needs replacing.
Then, the next day you find yourself in an expensive boutique trying on a pair of new shoes that cost almost the same as the new washing machine…
And? Ching, ching. Will that be cash or credit card, Madam?
Prada, Armani, Fendi and Versace. You are a victim of fashion and a label junkie.
Wearing a label is a must, even if you can't afford it.
Some people look at fashion magazines and think: 'Hmmm. Nice.' You look at them and think: 'I'll have that! Don't tell me the price, la..la...la...la... I don't want to know!!! I don't want to know!!! I want to look like Kate Moss. Shut up, shut up!!!'.
And off you run to the shops.
