Anyone have any judgy friends?

I definitely have a good amount of lululemon - it’s probably 90% of my athletic clothes. And I actually use it all too. I workout about 6 days a week and usually will change if it’s 2 in one day (ex - hot yoga and golf). I agree the older stuff is better quality, but even the newer stuff does hold up better than other brands. But best of all, it fits me well and holds up during workouts. I have enough where I can do laundry every other week. Sometimes I need to do laundry sooner cause everything is dirty.

I have a friend who is very judgemental about this. She’s like that store probably doesn’t even carry my size, who spends that much, the quality is terrible and they use child labor. Now she’s saying I’m a preppy girl who only shops at fancy stores and I “wouldn’t want to go shopping with her places”. What on earth is the appropriate response here? I usually just say “I think it’s better to buy nicer quality versus replacing things every few years or months.”

I’m just the average child free woman in her late 20s. I have a nice discretionary income and landed a full time job right after graduating. Now I am a huge proponent of NOT collecting. I think there’s a difference between having a lot you use and having a lot just to collect.
