Clothes and more clothes

[OnMyWay]

We are having a garage sale this weekend and my wife is selling lots of clothes.  Many seem to be "brand new" and she has a section just for Shein (online store),

With all respect to Manny Pacquiao, Jinkee has raised the bar for the rest of us men for our wives' purses.  I may soon support the counterfeiters.

The counterfeit bags are the ones my wife buys.   I had to have a sit down serious chat with her as she plans on visiting the USA later this year.  Told her that there was zero upside to carrying or bringing counterfeit bags.  

1 - They may get seized at customs.

2 - Someone may think they are legit and want to steal them.

3 - You are there, in part, to speak with folks who support our ministry.  What are they going to think if they see you sporting a super high dollar bag? 

In the end she agreed that it would be a bad idea.  Rare that I come out on top in a discussion like this and I suspect she may have agreed because it allows her to buy some additional hand bags and purses.   But I still consider it a WIN!!!

My 1st wife was very much a fan of clothes and shoes - less so handbags.  I was not far behind her to the extent I haven't needed to buy much since we left the UK in 2004 (the waistline hasn't expanded that much).  My 2nd wife, Filipina, isn't much into clothes - she'd rather buy house stuff.
