If you look hard enough you can find the real thing for really cheap. In Massachusettes we found a Versace Outlet store and got the makeup, the belts, shoes dresses you name it. For realistic prices. Also I never buy a knockoff if it doesn't look right. I go to Neiman Marcus and Saks and handle the real thing, so I know what kind of quality to look for. Let me tell you I've seen some prada stuff for 300 dollars that was made so crudely that I wouldn't pay 5$ for it on Canal Street, let alone pay full price at the department store. Anyway It's very tacky, low class, and a very nouveau-riche thing to have all your shit with the designer label alll over it like some girl scout badge. Like the Louis Vuitton thing is getting so played. I wouldn't want it anymore b/c I'll look like all the wannabes. Shop wisely girls.
