IT'S A NO FOR ME | Luxury Items I Will Never Buy

[@jeneenaylor]

Why are you so funny🤣🤣🤣 it’s not fair!!! The silence was LOUD😭😭

[@PoliticsFashion]

😂😂😂😂 love you sis!

[@melaniesmith1928]

Girl! Those pauses! 😂

[@sabrinaw.7432]

As the great Jonathan Van Ness says, "just because you Ameri-can, doesn't mean you Ameri-should". Another solid video! You deserve all the happiness and blessings that have, and will, come to you!

[@PoliticsFashion]

😂😂😂😂 thank you Sabrina!

[@Ms_StaceyLynn]

Now you went in on the the Kardashians in “Blackface.” 😂 Come with it!!!

[@sophiaelayne9984]

That is by far the most brilliant description of what that family is about. She is not lying.

[@byronneb1400]

Yes!!! I don't understand why any Black woman would purchase anything from that family! Boggles my mind!

[@Ottopewpew]

So refreshing to find a person who isn’t fronting and putting up an image. Favorite fashion girlie at the moment. Love the content!

[@justinebailey5333]

Yasssssss

[@JustOnce510]

Girl, when the “plastic Barbie Amina shoes” popped up I hollered!!😂 These belong on barbie dolls only!!!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Period 😂😂😂

[@VictoriaTamiaJames]

When you introduced those Amina Mutai's I screamed so loud with laughter. Your comedic timing is top notch girl.

[@PoliticsFashion]

😂😂😂😂

[@jessicamurray5154]

I thought I loved you before but when you said clearly stated that the Kardashians only known talent is performing in black face And cultural appropriation to the maximum I just was completely fan Girling on you because I have had that sentiment for a decade plus and no one ever wants to call them out on what it truly is that’s made them successful so kudos to you sis for expressing what everybody should’ve already known was FACTS‼️ 👏🏾👏🏾💯

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thanks Jessica!

[@self-carewithlia978]

I love how you stick to your personal values/ethics as a fashion influencer (the Kardashians stance is 💯). We don't see that level of ethics infused enough into the personal brands of fashion influencers. Thanks for keeping it real! Wishing you an abundant and joy-FULL 2022!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thanks so much Lia!

[@se2664]

I don’t like the kartrashians either however I’m tempted to try out SKIMS

[@channonwashington6498]

Happy Sunday! I totally agree with every NO especially the Kardashians! You kept it short, sweet and honest.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thank you Channon! Happy New Year!

[@ladylonglegs1990]

A black classic Chanel flap bag!!!!! That is a granny bag. I’d make an exception for a small red with gold hardware ( and it has to be a gift) lol rant over

[@jenniferblue4972]

I love what you said about the kardashians! So true! We do not stand!

[@PoliticsFashion]

NOT. AT. ALL.

[@andreabrownetaylor1474]

Took me out with that Amina Muaddi/CitiTrends/Rainbow comparison, LOLOL... because you are 100% right. Make it make sense!!!!!!!

[@dzuel09]

I feel the same as you for all costume jewelry from luxury brands. It’s a no for me. . . This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone else hold the same opinion as myself on the Kardashian clan. Love your videos, sis!

[@agbaby7757]

THANK YOU!! i hate the group think mentality that you have to buy certain items to be considered a fashionista! Most of those people lack style, they just buy what’s trendy and then get mad when people talk about it….a hit dog will holla LMAO at Grandma’s saying “ if you’re mad, scratch your ass and get glad”🤣🤣🤣🤣😵 Will be using grandma’s line moving forward

[@PoliticsFashion]

😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@Yvanna_T]

Loooooove the “moment of silence” when you show the Amuna Muaddi shoes. You just made my day 🤣🤣🤣

[@2kool234]

I loved her moment of silene lolllllll

[@snowglass3969]

I have officially been unsubscribed from every other fashion youtuber. Dead. OMG. I can't. I agree with every single point in this video. I am so glad to have found this channel. Thank you so much for your humour, your perspective, your honesty, and your amazing fashion sense.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@taliacadet7]

I love how you stand firm in your word with these videos! These videos are so entertaining! I feel you on anything SKIMS. I don’t care how much they suck you in. They’re not getting my hard-earned monies.

[@mariekornum7330]

Girl.... you are so right with all of it!!! Some of us have done lost our minds over these luxury items.

[@teeter-totter]

You are such a straight shooter but also so classy. Omg! I love it. Most ladies on here have overly polite review afraid to offend anyone and it gets boring. Your approach it refreshing and I love that you share your opinion. If people get offended they need to check themselves 😅 chill tf out folks...it's stuff...it's bags....it's clothes....no one's talking smack about your mother lord oh lord 😸

[@PoliticsFashion]

Girl alluv this! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@booksandstick5544]

I agree with with everything you listed! I think sneakers are for working out and I would never buy the Chanel dad sandals, because they look like Birkenstock sandals that probably offer more support and are cheaper. What you said about the plastic shoes is how I feel about dad sandals, which most people would disagree, I know. Sis, thanks for the K comment, because a lot of influencers of color support them.

[@mxb9083]

I can confirm that birkenstocks are comfortable, offer great foot support and are cheaper. I always wondered why people didn't just buy Birks. Also that $500-$600 Teva looking sandal? Why not just buy Tevas for $80?

[@chidenisee]

All of this. When I saw everybody getting LV and Chanel Dad Sandals, I just looked at my Birkenstocks for 125 that to me look better and I just shake my head. And the Skims shoutout on black women just make me sick.

[@aliciamaria2730]

Fantastic to see you in 2022 healthy and beautiful. Thank you for calling out the ridiculous so called designer lux madness. Our people love to look good and stylish but unfortunately we are targeted marketing material for these brands and we get nothing in exchange for our money and thank you so much for calling them out because that need to happen they are stealing from us and giving us nothing like the info with no clothes.

[@ah8064]

A girl after my own heart…so glad to know it’s not just me! I can’t get down with the “costumery.” Your channel is a refreshing balance of chic, luxury minimalism. A quiet, quality aesthetic is my jam.

[@ruthcoby2425]

It’s the honesty for me! I agree with everything you said! If you mad you can scratch your a$& to get glad🤣🤣 I love your grandmother🤣

[@_thechefskiss_]

Yessss. Love her and it.

[@Luxlivingforless]

For me, it’s Balenciaga. I’m IMO, the way they brand their items cheapens the aesthetic. I don’t like it when luxury brands print their name/logo all over the piece. It makes it seems like the person wearing it tried too hard. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@PoliticsFashion]

Mmmmm I’ve heard this before and it makes sense. Thanks for watching!

[@_NicJackson]

Yasssss Sis with the read of that K-family!! This is why I rock with you!!!! You keep it real in these streets!

[@Tamroc3]

Your channel is EVERYTHING!!! I love your style! I agree with EVERYTHING you said. You are so classy, gorgeous, and funny. I noticed some of these KZbinrs purchased all these overly expensive items and the items do not look appealing on them hence the Bottega Veneta Wire Stretch High Heel. I watched a number of KZbinrs in 2021 emulate each others style and content. It’s nice to watch someone like yourself change up the game. I’m looking forward in watching your channel in 2022. Stay keeping it real and fashionable correct.

[@Jerel_con_jota]

Is there such a thing as fashion stand up?! I think you are doing it and killing it🤣🤣🤣

[@PoliticsFashion]

Lmaoooo 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@brendaflowers6632]

I am crying, girl you are about to be my new best friend. You are speaking Cititrends & Rainbow's truth about a lot of fashion.

[@tinajoneswilliams4253]

I am continually impressed by your knowledge of the fashion industry in general and brands specifically. Well done. Happy New Year. Abundant blessings. Xoxo

[@PoliticsFashion]

Thanks so much! Happy New Year!

[@fashionandluxury101]

Not the nosey neighbor with rollers in her hair answering the door with those terry cloth house slippers!!! I’m dead😂😂😂😂yep u killed me!😂😂 I died and was resurrected ok! I surprisingly agree with you on all these trends! Did you say fashion bug! I fell off the bed! Thx for making my Sunday. Have a great day☺️

[@trishhobbsphillips3164]

Thank you sweet sister for speaking the truth!!! So refreshing!!! ❤️

[@charlottewalker283]

Terry cloth high end slippers. Mom has always taught me when you leave the house, no slippers on and no scarf on your head that is for inside the house.. Thank you for sharing all of your information. Greatly appreciate you and your videos...

[@LaMamaBee]

I am LOVING this video! Thank you for doing this. Just because a designer slaps their name on something or has a celebrity endorse their products it doesn't mean it's stylish or worth the price tag.

[@rheahalona]

Girl. Sis. I don’t even like high end fashion. It’s not my thing. BUT, I will ride with you all day. I watch all go your videos because of your beautiful spirit. Your humor. Your truth telling. Your reference to the iconic Cedric joke about Luther that only few of us know. I love it all. Keep shining!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Cause if you know then you supposed to be here sis! Thanks for watching!

[@piaforbes5716]

I ADORE your grandmother’s wisdom!

[@aliciamullaney6634]

I love your dress, looks fabulous on your skin tone. Keep being totally real.

[@helenhouston841]

I love you!! I am 77 years old and I love your style and your presentations 👗!!

[@Ai_TheGreat]

This video GAVE ME MY LIFE!!!!! I've been binge watching your videos and I'm obsessed 😍 💯‼️

[@marcyvaughnperkins136]

Say it again Sister! love that say! My mother said it for years!

[@latoyialafierce]

Sis first and foremost Happy New Year to you and your love! Let me just say Thank You for being so SOLID and not selling the hype dream of all this unnecessary overpriced tacky luxury that more than most of the influencers are gassing. I love luxury but I love classic luxury Fendi has always been my favorite of all brands but they stretched it with those collabs. You are so right about everything in this video I’m the small fish in this KZbin sea and I say all the time these brands are just slapping their names on anything just to see who’s going to buy it. Most of the celebrities with long long money aren’t even pressed to wear this stuff but we (black girl/women) are spending our last to “Look Rich” just for a IG pic or YT video just because an influencer is saying so chile I can go straight to Shein, Citi Trends and It’s Fashion Metro and find a dupe to all that stuff they’re wearing for under $50 and that’s about all it’s worth anyways not these thousands. That’s why I love the message you bring to this community -You can have luxury but make it make sense! Thanks for listening to my Ted talk lol ❤️

[@PoliticsFashion]

And a mighty Ted Talk indeed. No lies were told!!! 😂👏🏿🙌🏿

[@lifewithGloreeb]

I am always here for the laughs but I agree with you on many of the choices! I work way too hard so I have to be very selective on my lux purchases.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Totally agree sis!

[@AfroBoudoir]

Agree 100% on anything Kardashian! And my daughter had those exact plastic shoes when she was 5. They were £3 in the dress up dept in our local toy shop!

[@lolipena8051]

Omg fashion bug!!! Now that’s old school. That was my moms fav store. Also agree with you on all of these! Speak the truth. The ish they try to push sometimes it’s just dumb.

[@tanyawilliams138]

I agree! My grandmother use to say the same thing! Lol! I would never purchase the Christian Dior "CD" necklace. This item is almost 1k for fashion jewelry.

[@christallaktorides6904]

Total agree especially about the plastic shoes

[@SouljahCC]

It’s so beautiful seeing you embrace who you are and your message. I love the REALNESS of your approach to this topic. 😊😊❤️❤️

Yaaassss on Ms. Melsoldera. This girl is the real MVP of luxury bags to own. I AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE POINT!!!! Girl our Southern Black g-mas have some sayings for ya. Great video!!!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Yesss they did 😂😂😂

[@PamNewkirk]

Happy Sunday! A New Video! YASSS! this just made the day even better!

[@natashaking8437]

Love your videos. Totally agree with the plastic shoes. Reminds me of the jelly shoes from the 80’s. Think the price of this was about $5 bucks. Definitely a N-O!

[@sherlockhooked1175]

I appreciate that you have a style and stick to what works with you and call out bs and say what it is.

[@tommiehaynes33]

I love your sense of humor and delivery in these videos!! Your perspective on fashion is so refreshing!!! Why do people get so mad when someone has a difference of opinion?!!! People kill me with that!! Wishing you much continued success this year!!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Same to you!

[@picacupa]

OMG "Miss Shirley house shoes" love this and feel the same! So glad I found you 🥰☺

[@almamater9346]

I'll admit that part of what drives prices is quality and quality being associated with the brand/designer name. That being said, at what point does a bag, shoe or article of clothing that cost a tiny fraction of the price to make, become so enticing that you're willing to pay $25k for an item that probably only cost about $500 to make (yall know who I'm talking about). They really do play to the psychology of "keeping up with the Jones'" just to say you have something that the rich or elite have. I can't say they don't get me as well, but it's just amazing how some of our self worth and esteem can be caught up in the fact that we didn't spend light bill money on a designer that most likely couldn't care less about you as a person.

[@safeinhim2652]

Ma’am! You did not use the analogy of Luther’s curls not curling. I’m done, done! 🤣🤣 Spot on as always, particularly regarding the K’s.

[@burkexela]

She is so down to earth--love it!

[@mariamcadams6282]

I saw the same BOTTEGA'S bag on amazon for $32 dollars , the quality is not the same but the design is , guess what I bought it and like a lot . I don't understand why a small bag should cost soooooo much . Thank you so much for this video .

[@anttoronto3202]

Totally agree on the Kardashians. The brand collabs are ridiculous. Amina shoes are beyond ridiculous. You are so correct.

[@andib4243]

This one has me folded in half with laughter 😂 Teach the babies honney! Grandma is solid on that saying too ✊🏾

[@melynbiend760]

Your comments/perspective on the Kardash--Females Family is so true!!!!!!

[@melg5161]

Thank you for your advice in the last video, I’ve been eyeing Saint Laurent for several months and I’m glad I made the purchase.

Yayyy congrats Mel!

Oh you came in HOT!!!!! 🤣🤣 You wasted NO TIME!!!! I fell OUT at that Kardashians read. 👏🏽👏🏽 LAWD!! I hit rewind so I could experience it a second time!

[@gracedinglam-ramonamccoy961]

Great video! I agree some of those collaboration are just have too much going on. I don’t mess with the K clan either so I’ll pass on anything with there brand

[@iwantcrystals]

Definitely agree with the "No to plastic shoe". Most of the shoes that I've seen on her site, I screenshot the picture and plugged it into Ali Express and those EXACT shoes came up and of course cost waaaaay less. Same stock photos and everything.

[@lavaciettedavis7009]

This might just be my absolute favorite video of yours yet! Happy New Year!

[@opaljohnson4762]

Love your take on the Kardashian brand, my thoughts exactly. And those green house slippers are funny. I can just see the designer laughing out loud when he decided to make it knowing that people are going to buy it. O the power that shoppers give to those people 😂.Designer collabs are a sign of desperation. Apparently sales are down maybe due to COVID so they are doing anything to make a sale. Same reason it is so easy to buy a Hermes bag now too 😂 😂 😂

[@MrsVanB]

Your videos make me so happy! I love the humor you add to your content. 😭🤣 And like this one, I loved that other video too.🤩 I will never EVER buy anything Kardashian/Jenner related. They will never get my money. 😤

[@PoliticsFashion]

Period sis! 🙏🏿

[@lindaadams1008]

You're right, designers will make anything to get your money but you have to know how to respect yourself and your finances...❤

[@Latinart]

Agree with you 100% on the Kardashians. I would not buy a designer watch. Spend the money on a real luxury watch with real metals.

[@bagsandlifestyle]

Yes!!!!! I totally agree with you on the Bottega Veneta prices. I could have sworn that bag used to be $1500 new at Neiman Marcus ~10 years ago. No Boo boo to those prices.

You are the only person in your creative space I have heard who dares to speak out about how I feel about the Kardashians. Those SKIMS which is a straight knock off of the Spanx brand in my opinion. 💪🏾🙌🏾 Moving on. I love your style!😍🔥 Classic chic with a little bit of edge. Yasssss! The brand collabs! NO. STOP IT!😂😂 Your commentary on the Amina mules had me rolling! 🤣🤣You sound just like me. WHAT IS THAT?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, what is that?!!!! I'm not doing it either. Just because you spend 15 hundred dollars or more on something don't make it not be cheap no matter how much you spending or what you purchasing. Anyway, I see that you know fashions as do i. For fashions & makeup this is the best channel on You Tube. What they're wearing now going on shopping sprees and making videos about fashions is disgusting that stuff is cheap. I love your get up it's so nice, we never dressed up in no Jym shoes. We wore loafers, or heels. I'm sick of everyone in crop tops everyone making videos with the same bodies 'cause they all had plastic surgery. To each its own I'm not knocking but they all look the same. Their bodies don't even look like black women anymore. You look so natural and beautiful. Thanks for the video keep them coming
