QUALITY OVER QUANTITY? AM I BEING REDICULOUS HERE??

ok so I'm 21 years old and a college student...I have the biggest internal debate going on with myself. I LOVE fashion...i mean the Balenciaga's, the Yves Saint Laurent's, the Marni's of the world however I cant neccessarily afford it. I read vogue, elle, and harper's bazaar religiously. I buy as much as I can off ebay, but still end up spending what most would think is a considerable amount of money. I always tell myself that I prefer quality over quantity, however I literally have 20 items of clothing in my closet, however they are all designer and some of the most beautiful clothes. I refuse to buy cheap clothes, not because theyre cheap, but because most of the time they LOOK cheap. I guess Im the type of gal who would rather go out once a year and look AMAZING, than every weekend looking "so so"?? Also, I cant wear any of the few jeans I have because I bought them a size smaller. Sort of my way in making myself lose some weight, however i havent lost any of the weight yet. I could go on and on...but does anyone else understand this??? Or is it just me??
