By brand, or do you just get what you like?

I do both, Shoes, I go by brand, clothes, what I like.

I stear clear away from having brand names emblazed on me. I don't like being a walking billboard.

I go to shops I trust and respect for food... everything else, if I really want it, I'll just buy it. I do quite a bit of shopping on the internet, mainly Ebay.

My sneakers have to be Nike or Starter. One time, I was in desperate need and ended up with Everlast. They were ok... (they are now my smelly shoes, the ones I wear barefoot).

I usually buy sneakers by how cheap they are. I buy cheap ones. I wear everything until I either grow out of it or it falls apart.

I only own two pairs of sneakers. And they are adidas. Just for the gym.

A girl can't wear sneakers in her everyday wardrobe.

Clothes -- go either way, nothing like some nice k-mart clothes although I'll shop almost anywhere. my everyday wear tends to come from hot topic, but anything nice comes from The Limited, Banana repbulic, XXI, or Forever 21 (XXI and Forever 21 are two different stores owned by the same company)
Sneakers -- gotta be Nike and they come from the Nike outlet
Dress shoes -- I'm all about the stilettos and steve maden

A normal outfit for me is a jean skirt and a shirt like this or this

I'm not big on dressing up,

I make some of my clothes myself. My jeans are from Marks and Spencers. My shoes from wherever I see them. Rest of my clothes? Topshop, Uniquo, Primark and anywhere else I am. I want to get Joe Brown clothes

Dressing up can be fun. I do it a lot for no reason, although I'm told since I dress in clothes from hot topic, thats like dressing up everyday.

I try to avoid shopping when at all possible, since I dislike it.

When I do go shopping, I look for what works. Clothing is terrible for me because I'm not "normal"--I'm extremely tall and skinny, so it's hard to find clothing for me that fits my waist size but isn't too short. Plus, I don't like the new "styles" of clothing for people my age, so I have to make sure I'm comfortable in the clothes. In that case, I don't go by brand.

For food, I prefer Coke to Pepsi but won't knock the latter if it's the only thing around. I also prefer Macintosh to Spartan apples, and Tetley tea to Red Rose.

I always have to be dressed nice that way I don't have to worry about getting ready to go out or anything like that.

I don't wear much makeup though, just mascara and blush.. I have the whole natural look going on.

^That would be me dressed up, It's always a dress like that, with a matching jacket, heavy and long sleeved for winter, and a light short sleeved for summer.

I'm very big on comfort. J is the "clothes horse", Though, I do have 38 hats that I know where they are.
