You have no idea how refreshing it is to hear this from another woman. I'm exactly the same, I don't go for labels, I go for the cheapest, best-looking item.
I have bought items at outlet stores, clearance sales, etc. I'd be wearing $20 worth of clothes, $15 shoes, and no one knew. I'd get so many compliments and you couldn't tell me I didn't look good. 😂 Meanwhile, I can put the rest of my money somewhere that matters - buy some dividend stocks, pay on my mortgage, or anything other than a $1,000 handbag. People argue me down, but I can't see that as an investment. It's so nice to hear a black woman who is making money making some sense.
My purse rule... never carry a purse that costs more than you have in it or the bank. I once purchased a bag from Walmart for $5... it lasted 3 years..I got my money's worth🤣
I've been a fan of hers for decades. I still remember her first appearance on Def Comedy Jam. The "whale and tic-tac" joke will be forever etched in my brain 😆😆😆
She doesn't live in the ghetto...and this is a individual walk....I don't have a car, I only have three pair of pants from thrift shop.....but I have three houses and 4 duplex rental properties...I work a regular blue collar job and make more money in forex than I do on my job...I have property in Africa and my family thinks I'm broke and that's how I like it
A 16000 watch like a rolex is actually a great investment. Let's say its 18k you can resell it for about 13500, try that with a car and your reselling that car for about 8000 so....................
I've bought a few designer clothes in my time.Not anymore ,when I wear the cheaper clothes get compliments all day and designer clothes " Not one word".I was taught no one name is better than mine. It's all about knowing how to make your clothing and accessories look like it cost 💰Trust and believe 🛋🛋
Adele so damn funny, I remember being a little kid staying up late watching her on Def comedy jam, she's been my all time favorite comedian since , real queen of comedy
This is not the type of room I have seen her in like on the Queen's of Comedy stage but man she really adapted her delivery to fit this crowd without compromising who she is. A true professional
My father told me along time ago, " Don't make anyone MORE Richer than you are with things you don't"! Tommy Hilfiger name became popular cuz someone made his name popular. And we don't know those people names.
Tommy became profitable, with a great marketing strategy and product brand techniques towards the urban community as hiphop was reaching its golden years. The large logo on the boxers was brilliant... Snoop's influence helped as well.
I love this. I'm a quality over quantity buyer. I examine the materials and longevity of my purchases and idgaf about a label. Give me something well made ,at a good price that won't be clutter or trash in a year.
she's right about the snotty saleswomen! can't count the amount of times i've went into a store to browse only to be met with nasty attitudes 🙄 like you're working for $8.25 an hour! don't act like you can buy something in this store, either!
On the other hand you sometimes get lucky and they’re super cool. I remember I gave my grandma a ride to the mall. She wasn’t rich but I remember she was looking at all the purses and some younger worker asked her which one she wanted to look at. I was acting as her translator because she only speaks Spanish and most times workers give me crap for this but this lady was kind and patient with us and she was very understanding. Ultimately my grandma didn’t buy an expensive purse but she did buy a cheaper one and it still suited her if you ask me.
Spend all your money on clothes, jewelry, and bags.. for what... to impress other women who do nothing but hate on you. Then wonder why you're unhappy and broke.
@@queendivaism let me tell U something lol I been broke I ain't trying to go broke again in South Africa we have lay buy it's like Lay away I do Lay away on sale items ok my earnings costs 99c and I still look good I save to invest not save to spend
Way underrated super talented woman. Have always thought the same thing - actually making a fool out of our people knowing that many with low self esteem will buy based on labels to validate themselves.
Kanye know "Man, I promise, I'm so self-conscious That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches Rollies and Pashas done drove me crazy I can't even pronounce nothin', pass that Ver-say-see"
I love the message! I learned my lesson a few years ago when I spent $200 on purse (that's a lot for me) and a few months later my car got broken into and my purse was stolen, never saw it again. First and last time spending that much.
Happen to me too! Only difference is I left mind in Hardees, and the associate without asking gave it to another customer because he said that it was his wife.
For those that couldn't tell from the fashion, this clip is from about 10-20 yrs ago😅. Her hair is greyish/ natural now and she's put on a bit of weight. Still looks absolutely phenomenal for 59 though🤗
I feel her, on not buying designer clothes. They cost to much. It alright to look good once in a while. When you going out for an special occasion. Wedding, birthday, Holiday's etc.
Gotta shop the sales, or gently used...I don't think i ever spent more than $20 on pants. I just put some good tires on my car for $300. Only paid $1400 for the car. Looks brand new, but it's 12 yrs old. My cars usually last at least 6 yrs and I always pay cash. Nothing wrong with having money in the bank.
I don't have no designer clothes, but my closet looks sooooo good. I have me some hot girl clothes too. Heck in Mcdonald's sometimes them women act all snotty😂😂😂
Fully agree with this lady. Why buy a watch for such huge amount, to do what? Why buy shoes for such huge amount when there are thrift stores all over! Since known the thrift stores, goodbye to even Walmart!!!
This is not a comedy show this is a wake up call.
Comedy is a wakeup call. It is social commentary.

Seriously, I've never understood the clothes some people are willing to buy.
