I was driving through a shopping strip earlier and I saw a woman maybe in her late thirties with, I assume her mother, both very overweight and unkempt, dressed in gross looking ill fitting t-shirts and leggings, and they both had large, very nice looking Michael Kors bags. I know they're on like the lower end of price spectrum when it comes to bags, but they still have that kind of luxury aesthetic. This is really common around here. but I just wonder why women like this would even bother to spend $100-$500 on aesthetic looking bags when they don't bother to take care of the rest of their appearance at all. It looks like they bought their whole dumpy outfit at Walmart or on Amazon, why not just cheap out on the bag too, at least it'd be cohesive. My mom is like this, too, where she buys nice pieces from lower-end brand names like Ralph Polo Lauren, which is affordable but not like cheap by any means, and then never wears it- instead always wears a graphic t-shirt, sweatpants, and her nice purse which is just so jarring against the sloppy rest of the ensemble.
It's just hard to look at I guess.
