Money doesn’t go far these days, but first impressions still leave a lasting mark on people’s minds, especially when it comes to job interviews or first dates. It’s important to look your best, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. How many people could really tell the difference between a cheap designer handbag and the real deal? Does anyone ever ask, “Is that handbag actually a Coach bag?” I’ve never had anyone walk up to me and say I don’t look like I can afford my Gucci purse. If no one can tell the difference between top label and a cheap designer handbag, why do we spend all that extra money? I have more important things to spend it on, and you do too. The important thing is that I look like I spend a fortune, but I saved a fortune instead. My purse looks even better when I know I still have money in it.
