I am a cheapo...the only designer things I have ever owned are (prescription) eyeglasses, which are a nice place to splurge (and the designer eyeglasses are never obscenely expensive like the purses!).

My motocross gear MUST be Fox. The other brands fit me a bit funny and I also prefer the looks of the Fox line.

My bike parts!!! Only Works Performance pipes, Boysen reeds, Wiseco piston/rings, Kawasaki body panels (my bike), AVS levers, Dunlop or Bridgestone tires, Excel rims---you get the picture.

Everything else is negotiable--I do buy the designer clothing at yard sales or thrift stores, though.

My jeans are always designer because I'm funny about how denim feels. I also buy designer purses and sunglasses. I have designer regular glasses as well, now that I think about it. I have a few designer dresses, but many more regular ones. Shirts I don't care too much about.

I don't own a single thing that is designer. I have never been one to buy designer stuff.
