That isn't all, Those are merely the ones hanging on the wall around the closet. There is a pile in a box, too.
(I collect them)

Kiiiiitey, I'm nearly out of Patriots hats, but I'll see what I can do,


My Mommy likes to tell me I'm hard on clothes, Since I usually find myself playing baseball or basketball a lot, I have to dress accordingly,
I don't know why I don't like dressing all girly, Though, I have had "moments",

I know, That's the only girly thing about me,

To be honest, I'm more brand oriented toward food than clothing.

Ok... my mom usually shops for all our clothes, so this isn't really like "Oh my god, I have to wear this name brand" but it just happens like that. On any given day, at least 80% of everything I'm wearing is Old Navy and my shoes are almost all Sketchers.

I buy mostly plaid shirts and t-shirts.

Shirts that are Tommy Bahama like with the island theme shirts.

As for the pants I stick with dickies type pants or black jeans.

I used to buy rock shirts and cartoon shirts now I dress different.

I wear a wide spectrum of different kinds of clothes, but I have no interest in brand-names whatsoever. A person who is happy wearing her workshirt with a large octopus printed on the back obviously is not concerned with such things. Though I've worn nothing but Sketcher's tennis shoes (Sandals vary) since I was 8. Nothing else feels quite right.

I guess the brands don't matter much to me.
But, J.Crew, Club Monaco, Banana is just my style. I guess gap and other stores make preppy-nice looking clothes, but the fabrics are horrible.

I don't care what brand it is. If it looks good, and feels nice, that's what I'll have.

And as for food - couldn't care less about what I eat. I just use common sense.

I buy most of my clothes at "Randy River"

http://www.randyriver.com/~fr/home.htm

My shoes are usually Nike, and my hat is normally a sports hat (Either Montreal Canadiens or Team Canada) from Pro Image (A sports store)

I also get some band shirts (Metallica) and I plan on getting some Iron Maiden shirts.

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.


Same here with finding clothes that has too big of a waste and is too short! And, the only stuff I like to shop for are video games and fun stuff.

Mostly by what I like, I don't have that much money now I live with my boyfriend. Sometimes a brand, but mostly not an expensive brand!

Honestly, I don't really like getting dressed up. Like for weddings etc... I feel like an idiot when I am dressed up.

I like to be in my regular clothes...

But! I'm sure you do clean up nicely.

I don't care about brands (at least I'd like to think that don't).

Clothes - whatever looks good and isn't to expensive.
Food - the cheepest.

When it comes to things I don't know much about (like electronics for example), then I usually buy the stuff of the brand that I'm familiar with.

My kids don't have to wear name brand clothes I only alloted so much once a month. But I do prefer to go to Wal-Mart to any store. They have good name brand stuff that is not expensive. I buy all our clothes there. And groceries lol

I can't afford brand names. Most of my clothes are from charity shops, have been presents, or are from Asda (UK Wal*Mart). Sammie's clothes are mainly from Asda, with a few Osh Kosh stuff in there (was given them... they're fantastic, really cute but not too girly).

Asda's clothes wear really well, and are dirt cheap, so I like them. Sammie's jeans only cost �2 (around $4)! Her shoes? Well, her nanna seems to buy them

I love buying clothes for Sammie, but not for myself. I'm really tall and too skinny for a girl, so it's near impossible to get trousers, so I live in skirts. I buy things by price, and what fits. I have one pair of jeans, a Christmas present from Johny's mother (the one who seems to buy all Sammie's shoes) from Next. They do long ones
