Consumer VS Connoisseur

If fashion is not my passion then i have been traveling down the wrong side of the road for a long time. If loving it is wrong then i don't wanna be right......There is a misconception about fashion lovers/worshippers...And that is to love something as materialistic as clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories, Chanel's Fall Collection,Anna Wintour, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kanye's Denim Jackets, June Ambrose, Rachel Zoe and pretty much everything made in Italy means you live a shallow life....That is just absurd!!! I have finally figured out that people confuse shallow consumers with fashion connoisseur's. A shallow consumer is someone who needs a label to define them and they feel compelled to give every soul they cross the price of each item they purchased. A connoisseur on the other hand will appreciate and purchase some designer labels but are most proud of the $5 sweater that looks like its worth a million bucks that they found while thrifting. A connoisseur knows it not just about looking good its about making a statement. A shallow consumer only feels good in expensive wear (even if they cant afford it) on the other hand a connoisseur feels good whether she is in a pair of Brian Atwood knee length boots or a pair of 1980's Keds (ok maybe not Keds but you get my drift).  My point is shallow is shallow and shallow can never be or measure up to the Connoisseur's of America......Peace and God Bless!!!
