Now we all know that we black folks luv atre name brand. Some of us are willing to spend our last on somthing name brand. What name brand do you roc the most and how much are you willing to spend??
Me i roc Roca Wear and am willing to spend 72.00 on a velour top, and i dont even have a job.
I want this sooo bad.
Everything I wear is name brand...but guess what?...I DAMN SURE DON'T PAY FOR IT lol...I use my parents' cash or credit cards but when I turn 17 next month they cutting me off (seriously) so I'm looking for a job now...
Shirts/pants- Ecko, Girbaud, Sean John, or dress shirts/pants etc...
Shoes- Timberlands, Reeboks, Stacy Adams(dress shoes), Borgesi (dress shoes)
but when my parents cut me off I'll be at Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx...I'm good spending my parents' money but cheap when it comes to my own
Ahhhh Cafe me and you could go shoppin together girl lol. You have some of my favorite stores up there, especially urban outfitters and h&m. I've noticed that as I grow older I care less and less about name brands when it comes to my clothes; if I think it's cute Imma get it. But handbags good gosh thas anotha story, louis vuitton has become my new friend. Neiman Marcus is also one of my favorite stores, i swear I walk in there and get faint lol.

What gets me is...half the black people out there wear the 60 dollar shirts and 150 jordans...but they can't pay their house note or phone bill....or dont even own a car.....
AMEN!
Anyway...I like Aeropostale, Lerners New York (for jeans), Ecko, Old Navy, Abercromie and Fitch, Gap, Charlotte Reusse, or whatever is cute...most of tha time I don't care about Name Brands...as for shoes, I wear Tims, Reebok, K-Swiss, Nike, Adiddas---I don't discriminate lol except that I WONT wear New Balances
I will wear WHATEVA IS CUTE........ But I think alot of things are cute that others may pass up. I see potential in clothes. Therefore I find a lot of deals on great, quality, brand name clothes...
My favorite places to shop are express,
armani exchange,
urban outfitters,
nordstroms for shoes,
forever 21,
fcuk,
bebe,
j. crew,
aldo,
lord and taylor,
marshall fields,
nine west,
BCBG,
ICL shoes,
Chinese Laundry,
Steve Madden,
H&M is cool
RAMPAGE is my store...
I used to LOVE baby phat, akademiks, and ecko, but I am growing out of that stage in my life. Im a little more openminded now days. I used to like some abercrombie and fitch til their overt racism was exposed.
Of course I hit up marshalls, ross, and tj maxx when I need a quick affordable outfit...

^^^I know huh? It's some lil well to do bougie bratties on this site :lol: . Ha, i'm clownin. But i won't front, in highschool i was a namebrand fanatic. I wouldn't wear anything unless it had a clear and visible label. Guess it was that whole LA mentality
HOWEVER, being a broke college student has turned me into the cheapest woman in America. Hell, i don't even buy clothes anymore. I just take my friend's ish :twisted: . Gotta do what u gotta do. :wink:
I'm still a fan of high fashion tho. I just know my limits. It ain't cute to be hungry, but clothed in Armani. Besides, i think u can make a cute fit outta just about anything. Hell, i think some of the flyest fits can be nitpicked out a thrift shop. It's all in how u rock sumthin. If you're bombarded with labels then you're nothing but a walking billboard. And last time i checked, none of us was gettin paid to advertise for these folks.

I know thats right. But damn i ready to turn 18, but u know what its my year. senior class of 05 freshman class of 09 its our time to shine.
I don't have a huge variety i'm just really loyal to a few stores:
Urban Outfitters - I never leave empty handed
Express - I love their pants!
Armani Exchange - for their nice but affordable jackets and blazers
Mango - (Only in Europe) Unique and funky but also high quality
Fresh - (UK only) Extra funky . . . but expensive
Top Shop - (UK only) Funky and cheap
Forever 21 - Cute and also very cheap. It's great for the club since you don't want your your nice things smelling like cigarettes
Guess - My favorite store since middle school . . . it never gets old to me
HM - What more can I say
How much do I spend . . . My new budget (my dad's idea) is to not spend more than 20% of my net income (i.e. the total amount of money that ends up being deposited into my account) on clothes.
I want this sooo bad.
