Name brand clothing

07-14-2007, 07:36 AM

Okay, here goes my rant on name brand clothes. How many of you by the $100 jeans etc? Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a pair of those but who is that crazy.. I'll stick to my jeans that cost $25 or less and leave those expensive ones to the people who wanna blow money..

I don't have any of them right now

No, I'm not that crazy either. If I have to pay a 100 $, then I buy something classical or a fancy dress.

However, I must admit I turn my head on the street when I see an interesting pair of jeans and wonder if I should buy for myself or not.

Alexa, of course you turn to look. That is only natural. You have control though. Many people don't they just see something they like and grab it up. I have never paid over $50 for any article of clothing except ONE time.. I bought a pair of Doc boots that cost $100.. I have had them for FOUR years.. pretty sure I got my moneys worth

The only time I spend more than $50.00 on a peice of clothing is if it's on a custom corset. Regular, eeryday wear shouldn't cost what some people will pay and I really don't care for alot of designer clothing. They are selling a name and not necessarily quality!

I buy most of my clothing on sale...never spending more than $30 on jeans. Some stores, like Express, have great sales a few times a year where I make out like a bandit.

I don't give a damn for designers. Anyway, the models you can see made by them, loors generally like hell, in my opinion. All for skinnies and definetly, not for a day to day cloth.

Well, in this case I won't say how much I spend. I will keep it between me and my credit card

I can't even justify spending that kind of money on any article of clothing! Goodwill or second hand shops are my clothing stores of choice. A pair of Levi jeans go for $5.99 at Goodwill and they already have the broke-in look down pat.

Admittedly, I don't spend a lot on clothes. I can't see the point behind the big fashion industries these days: it seems they only exist to outdo each other and persuade people to part with their money on something that will only be worth wearing for a season, at the very most.

Yeah. I tend to avoid buying things that are really in fashion. That way I won't look a total prat when it's gone out of fashion. I don't buy brand name clothes either, unless they're on sale.
