If you wanna see some true /fa/, go to Oak Street, where the real movers and shakers shop. Seriously, there's a Hermes Prada and Barneys all on the same corner, it's superluxe /fa/ paradise. Also check out Gallery Aesthete, they've got Rick/Julius/Boris and all that good avant shit.

The only thing I hate is the fucking ex-fratboy investors who drive their Ferrari down the street dressed in Burberry polos

Hey /fa/

I'm a kind-of poorfag, but I love high fashion and I love trying on and handling the pieces. I've started saving up, but today I went to Barney's and a few other upscale places in Chicago for the first time just to window shop and try some things on in preparation, and jesus was it intimidating. The salespeople won't give you the time of day unless you're in full RO or Burberry (which I can't afford at all right now obviously), and the entire experience of browsing there is horribly uncomfortable, because you know they're judging you, and they visibly sneer at you for wearing an outfit that looks like it was under $2000.

Hell, I even had a salesgirl fucking STARE at me (for literally a good 2 minutes) while I was looking at some Givenchy shoes. She didn't even try to hide it when I looked straight at her.

I mean, I went in dressed well, and I could name the designer and season of every single thing in the place (including what the salesgirl was wearing), but since I don't LOOK like I have the money for it, I'm entirely shunned.

>tl;dr need help not being looked down upon in upscale stores

So how does /fa/ handle these situations? Other than just wearing designer pieces, obviously. Do you just need to have the right swagger? Is it all in my head? Should I just not let it get to me? I need suggestions for the next time I go back there.
