Name brand stuff, does it matter?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Are you the type of person that goes for the name brands? For example instead of Wal-Mart clothing, you go for Polo/Armani? You have to have an iPod? (iPod's are probably the best name in mp3 players right now) These are just a few examples.

 

Personally, I don't have much of a problem sticking with non-name brand. I would go t Old Navy to get my jeans and shirts :P For the most part, I'm a bargain shopper, wait until the end of the season for some hot deals like $10 sweaters from American Eagle. :thumbsup2: On the other hand, I must have an iPod because it's so cool and hip :D even though I'm sacrificing extra features such as voice recording and FM tuner that are available on other players.

No way! I'd get the same shirt a Wal-Mart for 5 bucks rather than paying $50 at Express or one of those expensive places. Us "poorer" people don't have the cash to spend... lol :lmao: :P

I'm a bargain shopper too. I love sales LOL. I don't think I should spend A LOT of money on clothes when I can say this money to do something interesting, like buying a new computer because mine sucks, or just travel to a nearby island.

Now I'm saving for my graduation trip, in 3 years, probably going to NY. And I've been already looking for bargain hotel rooms there :msn-tongue:

I go with how it looks on me, and the price compared to quality. Heck, I go to second-hand stores and vintage shops. Besides, I HATE trends. I consciously avoid anything that looks remotely trendy, and that is all to which name-brands cater. And WalMart is as trendy as them all...and crap. Everything I buy from there is of dismal quality - I can't count the number of times I've had to visit the return desk.

 

Why pay for a name when you can get as much quality next door?

I dont see the big deal with name brands,personally I dont have a 100 dollars to waste on a shirt or 200 on a pair of jeans,but I must admit I do LOVE my Louis Vuitton purse,but I didnt buy it it was give to and that really the only name brand expensive thing I have.all my clothes are like wal mart or khols or they are give to me.

We might kiss when we are alone... When nobody's watching... We might take it home... We might make out... When nobody's there... It's not that we're scared... It's just that it's delicate... We might live like never before... When there's nothing to give... Well how can we ask for more... We might make love in some sacred place... The look on your face is delicate

Me too. My clothes either come from Gap, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, or Anchor Blue.

I spend too much money for my clothes.

When I was there in USA I fell in love with cupons. We don't have cupons like that in Portugal :pinch:

It' funny cause I could totally find cheap knock-off's somewhere yet I insist on buying more expensive brands... of course here in Hollywood there are PLENTY of clothing stores that make Express and Bananna Republic look like fairly cheap places :ermm: :mellow:
