Miss- I buy CK jeans because they're the only ones I can find that fit the way that I like them to fit. If I could find jeans in any other brand...any brand at all...that fit like the CK jeans do, I wouldn't spend the 65$ a pair for them. But, until I can find a pair of non-brand-name jeans that fit like the CK jeans do, I'm stuck dishing out the ridiculous amount of $$ stores want for the jeans....

Also, most of my shirts are Old Navy. Not because it's "brand name," I could care less, but because I find shirts there that actually fit REAL PEOPLE compared to other stores who seem to cater to the -5 size people in this world....

Make any sense at all?

I basically buy all my makeup at Longs Drugs, unless im feeling the need to splurge...which I usually dont cuz i dont have enough money to! its the same quality (try telling that to my friend!), just cheaper!

i am not daft, i am insane.

and also brands like gap and old navy fit me perfectly and they make me look slimmer so i continuously buy stuff from there.

and if you can get it for cheaper than target clothes online, why not?

well I think it's because that like target clothes are cheap and the'll rip or the lipgloss will fall apart. With name brands they don't do that until they're really really old unless you do something harmful to the, like pull po them or something like that.

i can understand having a wierd body type or clothes being cut wrong and finding that those are the only ones that fit you, but i guarentee that all of you that say, "oh, they're the only ones that fit me" (that you've found) have either A. not looked too damn hard or B. are lying because it is extremely unlikely that you all have the same body type that just happens to only fit brand name clothes..
as for target, if you're careful at those sort of places .. the clothes don't fall apart.. theres also stuff like botiques and things that you'll have locally (most of you anyways) hippy shops, etc, that have cute jean shorts, tank tops, whatever for summer and its alot less expensive than the crap at gap, limited, old navy, abercombie, banana republic, etc..
although let me say, for the record, that i understand if you have a dress code. i had a dress code at school for years and the clothes that if ound that were at the fringe of the dress code, the very most riske of the accepted clothes, were at places like those.. and I really do like most of banana republic's clothes,and i used to have nearly everything from the limited for about a year's styles.. but i don't understand why you'd want to advertise for a company, and pay THEM to do it instead of them paying you.. Companies should PAY YOU to wear a shirt that proclaims their name accross the front, they should at least give you their clothing free that has such things plastered all over it..

Oh, and I have a pair of jean shorts from wal-mart that I've had for over three years now and the only problem with them is that I'm outgrowing them.

*a* truthfully like the clothing/cosmetics/ect.. i know someone that's been wearing abercrombie since 6th grade.. and we just graduated...

*b* like strawberry [i think...], some people just want to be accepted. it's all about status. i'll guaranteen that 95% of the people on this board are at that acceptance level in skool. i mean, that it's all about being accepted. you need friends, you need to be accepted. wearing these clothes might guarantee friends. why you would want friends based on the clothes you wear... that's a different topic...

*c* who really fucking cares. to each his own. my friends, raver kids, had a *cow* when i bought an orange abercrombie visor. i told them, you find me an orange adidas visor, and i'll buy that.. it was orange. i like orange. i'm a color whore i guess

that's my cheap, $.02.

I'd like to say that I am *PROUD* to shop at target. We used to not have much money and my mom MADE all my clothes. Then we worked up to target I think clothes from target are just as beautiful as something from somewhere else. I do admit that I shop at styles and occasionally shop at wet seal (just shirts) but I think that shopping at target or mervyns or places like those are just as (maybe even better) good as buying from delias or whatever. Most of my friends buy brand names and expensive stuff. and then wonder why they have no money. Im a very *CHEAP* person. I absolutely love shopping online (eBay buying stuff cheap), target, mervyns, even goodwill!! I mean come on if the clothes look nice and u like them...who cares who made them!! I've had so many compliments on my outfits and i shop at 5 dollar stores and stuff. **sorry for rambling**

bleh.
but.. i mean as for the abercombie since 6th grade.. i found that shop when i was a wee 5th grader in the mall roaming around and i found a really awesome short army skirt that i LOVE and some really nice soft ribbed stuff, good, very soft cotton shirts and stuff.. but i never ever was into plastering names of shit on myself and paying to advertise for them.. i think abercombie does have unique clothes, but i think its ridiculous to go around suggesting that you'd only wear clothes if they've got the brand name on them..

its like.. its not even about having the money or not.. with girls i think its kind of like guys and unit size: what brand of clothes you have..

because.. i mean i buy alot of my shit from small distro catalogs and that sort of thing, along with target, walmart, etc.. and i've got pleanty of money to buy the expensive brand name shit if i want
but i just don't see the point.

I always, always, always go to the sale/clearance section. I get a lot of nice stuff from there too. Two of the bags & wallets i use for school are from the clearance section in contempo. I wanted them for a while and the wallet was like $10 & the bag was like $22 so I was like there is no way i'm paying that much for them. I waited a few months and they went on clearance for like $5.00 for the wallet & $10.00 for the bag. I was going to get it but decided to get it next time i went. I ended up payin $2.00 for the bag and $1.00 for the wallet. I have got soo many compliments on them & when I tell people the prices, they are like "OMG! thats it? I gotta go shopping with you."

Also whats the big deal about wearing brand names? So many people are like "oh no, i never wear brand names, I hate them. Is like advertising for them for free blah blah blah" Not all brands names have their name all over it and in huge letters. Why do people make is seem to be so bad to wear brand names. If you like it & its a good price get it, even if it is a, dare I say it, a brand name.(Thats for all you people who are anti-brand name)Same thing with clothes from target. If u like it & is good quality get it. Its not a sin to wear route 66 or whatever they have at k-mart and stuff(meant for all those who are anti-non brand name). Get over the argument about brand names & non-brand names. Its pointless. When you're dead is it gonna matter if you wore american eagle or some clothes you made yourself? No, it isn't. Do you think people will say,"She didn't wear Old Navy, I'm not going to her funeral." Nah, they won't.

I'll never deny wearing brand names, but I'll also never deny wearing non-brand names. Judging people on their clothes and suggesting to them that they shouldn't wear brand clothes it bullshit. Same thing with impling that they should wear brand names.

For the below notice that i say SOME!
Some brand name clothes do fit some people better than other clothes (YES IT IS VERY POSSIBLE)

Some brand names do have better quality (THIS TOO IS POSSIBLE)

Not all brands names have their name all over it and in huge letters.YEAH, THIS IS TRUE TOO}
For the below above that i say SOME!

Do you really care what brands(or non-brand clothes for that matter) everyone else wears?
Like I said before, get over it. Its pointless.

I wear brand name stuff but I also wear non-brand names equally. My family is pretty poor but I have a job so I can afford to buy somewhat expensive stuff every now and then. Logos (especially a giantic label on the chest) make me cringe. Instead of making me feel confident, I walk around with my arms crossed over my chest all day to hide the logo. It's all about being subtle.
