The Thrill of High-End Fashion: Would You Splurge on a Simple $12K Dress?

Sometimes I like to go to shopping sites like Mytheresa.com or Netaporter.com and click the filter from highest to lowest to see what comes up. Depending on the category, it can range from $19K to Ive seen up to $50K. It is so interesting to me to see what looks like a simple dress I've seen be $12.5K. If I could, would I buy it? There are obviously people out there who do with a quick click.

This Ralph Lauren Collection patchwork dress took me back a little; not worth the splurge at all. Yet, this Oscar de la Renta I would immediately purchase to wear to a fancy event.

Here is the thing: why do shoes and bags seem like the biggest exception? I do not bat an eye at prices. I have tried on these Christian Louboutin boots, not in my size, but when they are, I will immediately click buy. This Fendi bag sign me up.

I am not even going to start with the jewelry and watches, one, because it's extensive, two, I believe they hold more value, therefore way more worth the purchase. Where do you stand on high-end shopping purchases?
