Thumbing through the pages of Vogue or Elle Magazine, it doesn’t take long to realize that luxury comes at a high price.   Celebrities are spending close to $1,000 on blouses and belts.   The amount they spend on designer bags and gowns is what an average U.S. citizen might spend on a car.   Fashion is tagged as this waste of money by those who don’t appreciate what a stunningly put together outfit can do for a woman’s self esteem.   When a person enters the room, the first observation is on their appearance.
