Need advice on a should i or shouldn't I (sell...)

Should I sell my Augusta Backzips in order to fund a pair of saint laurent black raw jeans and white high tops?

feeling indecisive and foolish about even thinking this especially as my aesthetic is somewhere between boris saberi / ma+ and rick owens, but i'm mesmerised by the new SLP stuff. maybe its just hype or brand worship.

I'm afraid I'm a sucker for sales or discounts on clothes but I try to indulge in shoes leather types, sneakers, whatever. I'm a perpetual shirt-blazer-jeans guy but every now and then suiting up is not an option.

of course I know its all ridiculous and hilarious and I accept that. but then I tried the stuff on and swftly re-considered buying, although not from the boutique. I just really like the cut and materials on the jeans and sneakers, even though there's nothing really special about it. I think ill just hide in a cave and wait until bbs fw12 comes out.

I say do it. There's a lot of SLP hate on these boards, but I like a lot of it. Yes, it was not different from what Hedi did before, but it was very different from everything else these days.

I get a lot of compliments on the black lows for some reason. I think it's the profile and the little bit of gold branding that pops.

Probably only able to find patent/shiny/brown sole version in my size. Want something to wear other than slip-ons. Also, tts?

Anybody tried on a Rag & Bone Dagger blazer from this season? I'm waffling over picking one up in black to wear with black or overdyed jeans and a slutty t-shirt.

the stuff you sold all your other stuff to buy the first time is way cooler than the stuff you're thinking about selling all your stuff to buy now


Those CP's are atrocious.

Blue bag for £255.....



Or orange version for £175? I prefer the blue, but struggling not to let the price influence me, £255 is a lot of money for me.

thank you for bringing me back down to reality guys. i stopped drinking and smoking a month ago and might have just gotten a case of the boredom induced impulse decisions.
keeping the augustas and pre-ordered RO Memphis jeans and kopped a RO beanie and laptop case to calm me down. still desperately waiting for BBS FW12 though.
