As always, I love your honesty and that you’re willing to admit your regrets. We’ve all done it, but may not admit it. Thanks, Marnie and please keep giving us the good, the bad and the ugly!

[cherik]

Some of the comments on here are just plain rude and I doubt you would say them to Marnie's face in person! Think before you type, common courtesy, we all don't live the same lifestyle stop judging others with more than you.

[greekgirlsings]

hahahaha you crack me up, "put on the jacket, put your arms through it." I agree!!

[terryblack]

Your blue blouse makes your eyes pop! Gorgeous!

[dianemilligan]

So good learning about these luxury regrets - some excellent tips on what to consider when making a big splurge! Agree about the La Mer foundation, it does make my skin look flawless. I hadn’t thought about how it gets better and better through the day, but it does! I do seem to go through it faster than any of my other foundations though I thought I wore it mostly only for special occasions but I’m near finishing my second bottle.

I just want to say that this video is genius. Not many YouTube "Influencers" are making videos such as this. I'd rather see more videos like this. I have no issue with buying luxury items, but I'd rather my money go towards items that are really worth it vice some YouTube Influencer trying to "sell" me something.

Thank you Marnie I think everyone has a story of purchase regrets expensive or not. I totally agree with the philosophy of keeping them because your right tastes change and eventually you will like or even love them again.

I would love to see how you store your handbag collection!
You are so right about the LV speedy. It needs compartments!

[lorenadugan]

Love the Mulberry bags. They are timeless.
It was great that you included pros and cons as well as alternative ideas.

As someone with shoulder and neck pain, crossbodies can't work for everyone. Although I usually carry my bag in hand, I do occasionally have it in the crook of my arm. I still buy purses with a crossbody strap when I absolutely need to be hands free for a few minutes, like carrying multiple grocery bags in from the car. But usually if I'm shopping, the bag ends up in the crook of my arm.

I know this is an older post but I just found your channel recently. I love love love my Toyota Highlander Platinum Hybrid. Second Highlander but first one at the highest trim level and hybrid. After doing months of research into Lexus, BMW, Volvo, Mercedes... ALL the luxury brands, I feel like it has the most space, best upgrades, and value for the money.

The LV Pochette Métis is AMAZING. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Best bag ever for us crossbody lovers.

[bethknight]

I’ve never bought a luxury brand - yet. This was very helpful, I appreciate your insight. We all tend to think that if we buy just the right thing it will bring some value to our lives. There’s a lot of food for thought here. Thank you🤗

[whitdianne]

This was fun to watch although everything is out of my budget as a young 3”s stay at home mom, but it was fun! You do “low end budget items” so well and I love you for that! You look chic whether it’s Walmart or YSL. I appreciate all of the “low end” pieces

My husband has the Lexus ES 300H Ultra Luxury (sedan) and he loves it! He’s had it a full year and he said if he had to go back, he would absolutely buy it again! I have the Lexus GX 460 Luxury (had it six years and not a hybrid….they don’t make them in hybrid yet) and I love it! Yes, it’s big but I own a show horse and it tows a horse trailer so it fits all my needs. The only draw back is it’s a gas guzzler. If and when the GX comes in a hybrid, I will be first in line to purchase it!

[sabpakzad]

Thanks for going into depth on your experience with the Tesla Model Y. I got mine this past February and am prepared for if/when this happens to me.

These are my favorite videos, very helpful!! You are so right about the LV Speedy, both of mine sit on the shelf rarely used. I live in the Neverfull's, more often than I want to. They are so boring, yet so practical for everyday. Thanks for sharing some beautiful new bags. The Mulberry was my favorite that I haven't tried yet. I love that it's leather with no branding, but so beautiful.

We've had the Lexus RX 350L for two years now and couldn't be happier. Two of our three kids are grown, but everything fits great - from shopping to our Yellow Lab. One thing that sets it apart is the service. They offer free loaner cars when you get service, which is helpful. They even cook you free breakfast while you wait. Also, they wash and vacuum it every time we are in for service. As a busy mom, I love that! At times I wish we would have looked at the Hybrid model. But I have a hard time believing electric vehicles really help the environment, honestly. I'm not sure our grids can handle it, and it seems to transfer one problem for another. Your Tesla story confirmed most of my hesitations about EV cars. Thanks for sharing!

I love the pink bag! The color is such a pretty light pink! This was a fun video. I regret buying my signed leather Stickley couch and chair. Thirty years ago the couch was ten thousand dollars. I just have never thought they were comfortable and I’m not into the style anymore. I don’t want to get rid of them but I never sit in them. Luckily they are in an upstairs family room we don’t use that much!

[CorgiMom]

As for automobiles, I was just at the Audi dealership looking at the Q5 eTron and am very tempted to switch over. My current Audi Q5 is only 4 yrs old, but with having to purchase premium gas, going to a hybrid sounds very enticing! I haul two medium sized dogs around and the Q5 has ample room.

I started my obsessive collection of Dooney & Bourke Florentine Satchels after my Mom Passed 6 years ago. They are, IMPO, The Most Gorgeous Timeless Handbag of all time! BUT... They don't have outside pockets & they are HEAVY to carry! Not to mention, You have to stay on top of Spaying Apple Guard on them, because, the Florentine Leather can get stained with water spots. It's one of those "fair weather" bags- but, a little bulky for summer. They have a strap, but it's to thin for the size of the bag. I use those web straps that you suggest. They all sit beautifully on display in my wardrobe, but I rarely use any of them. I consider them an Investment (time will tell how that unfolds). I drive a 2016 Kia Sorento SXL. It's Paid off & I LOVE IT! My husband tells me all the time that I can get a new car & when we go look, Nothing beats what I already have! 😘
