Im graduating 8th grade and so im going to be a freshman in high school next fall. Our school has a graduation and an 8th grade dance (hollywood themed). My mom bought 2 dresses for the events from Saks, and i really like them so i think im going to wear both:

plus shoes and jewelry, the outfits could come to $1000 or more. My friends arent really poor, but they i dont think theyre spending alot (some people said they got both outfits for under $30). we were planning to get togeather to show each other our clothes before making final disisions. I change my mind about clothes often so i want to keep the tags on until i know for sure what i want to wear. They already think im rich and i dont want them to feel awkward or think im being showoffy if they see the price tags or ask (they can be sort of nosey).
so do you think i shouldnt wear them and buy something cheaper? what should i say if they see the tags? what should i say if they ask about the price?
Can my friends know how much my dress costs?
as long as you're honest if they ask then it shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't brag about how expensive they are.
i have the same problem with some of my friends (some are richer, some are poorer) and we're open about how much our stuff costs if asked but don't go round shouting about it and we get on fine
and don't buy another dress just to make your friends feel comfortable, wear what you want to wear and just enjoy your graduation and dance :)

You've already decided that you are going to wear the dresses ---- take the tags off and show them to your friends. It shouldn't matter what clothes cost --- all the matters is how good they look on you. Have a great time at your graduation and stop worrying about what things cost. It'll make like easier on you. :)
I think you should wear the dress you want because theres nothing wrong with having money and using it. Just because they are a little less rich as you doesn't mean there going to get angry. If they ask the price than tell them and be honest, explain how you really are excited and your willing to spend a little extra for this even.If there true friends than there not going to get mad. If your that worried canceled shopping with them.
Oh my goodness !!
I have the exact same two dresses (:
There so confortable! I love saks fifth avenue.
Umm just tell them that they were pretty pricey, they dont need to know the extra info (:
You should buy something cheaper, however not on your friends sake, on yours. You probably will only wear this dress once, and has no need to be worn twice. This is only a grade 8 graduation and you don't need 1000$ worth of stuff to make you look good. You should just return it, but if you do choose to wear it, and your friends say %26quot;how much was it?%26quot; just say I don't know, my mom bought it. It always works :)

at the end of the day it doesn't really matter if you are slightly more wealthy than your friends, but my best friend feels the same way as you as she is more wealthy than the rest of us. i think you should be honest to your friends. don't bring up the price unless they ask if you don't want to, and if you decide to tell them the real price act very greatful and appreciative that you have them so they don't think you are being showoffy. i think the thing that annoys people when their friends get something really expensive is when they take it for granted. don't make a big deal over it, they can't get annoyed with you over this and if they do it is them who are out of order! x
