What brands do you associate with?

Who wants to live in an environment where everything you wear/buy/use is scrutinised? Day in and day out. Imagine how tiresome that must be.

Maybe it’s the wannabes who suffer the most. They beg, steal, or borrow to get  that handbag, only to find it is ‘ so yesterday’ by the end of the week.

David Beckham wears a silly expensive watch in some ad. How do people not take on board he would have been paid shed loads to model it and probably had one thrown into the deal anyway?

On the subject of watches I have a beautiful but low-key Christian Dior one. It was a gift  ( Thank you PN) and I love it and wear it all the time. I have to admit it makes me smile when the guy in Timpson’s  raises an eyebrow when I take it in for a new battery or strap.

I also have ( yes, get me!) some tatty old addidas trainers that really need replacing. But I bought those as I really liked them. And that’s the point, isn’t it? Even if money was no object, I’d only buy something because I liked it. Simple as.

I associate with Birkenstock, though.Always have always will!

Edit…There was a time I coveted Red or Dead boots n shoes, tbh.
