Brand Name Clothing Disease.

The current time is 10:19.

[ Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to come take a look at my blog. If you follow my notes on facebook you'll realize I usually write a lot of my thoughts down, thought I'd direct them to blogger in hopes of finding a larger audience. Take a look (scroll down) at my intro post to get a feel on my blogs direction. & Please feel free to email me any comments xo. : aprill_ann@hotmail.com ]

- Current mood: pretty hungry =( but sacrificing my hunger to do this blog. Must blog. Must spread the word. What word? The word of hello kitty... JK. I'll stop smothering you guys with cuteness, I promise.

------->Dear Calgary Corner:

To the ladies, I hope you all got a chance to review my note on facebook "Beautiful Girls Travel In Groups" (its also on this blog, please scroll down to read), just some insight on how girls become friends in the city, pretty sure it runs the same way everywhere else.

The controversy on brand names. INSERT BRAND NAME HERE ON T-SHIRT, BAG, JEANS, JACKET, HAT.

Now I myself, am a victim of the buying for brand name crime. I like certain fashion lines, fits, styles. Sometimes (most times) If I feel its worth it, I will spend x amount of dollars on a leather jacket because of where it comes from, what brand it is and how it fits and looks. Mind you, most of my purchasing choices are based mostly on price, fit, style, look, then.. brand. I've out grown buying clothes that stamp the name of their brand all over their sh*t. There really isn't any personal style involved in buying these clothes. The argument? Some lines can be pretty brandy, some are based more on style and keep their name only on the tag, & some lines are jst f*cken idiotic. Now we all want to look good, classy, expensive. Money is status & power & runs our society. (Into hell hahaha) [ side note: I have GOT to stop swearing ] Anyhow, there still are a few of you stuck in the buying of brands crimes. How do you justify G-Star clothing for example? I will argue that yes, it's style is edgy, modern and some times are worth the purchase. (I myself have a few G-star things in my closet) But f*cken white T-Shirt that says "G-Star" on the front for f*cken $100+ dollars?

GIVE ME A BREAK.

G-Star isn't the only one... Now your going to ask me. "What about designer bags April? I know you've got a few". I've got a different opinion on monograms. Most designer bags focus on a monogram of their logo all over their bags, some styles don't even have any monograms printed on it (marc jacobs). Bags are a different story, especially designer ones. Louis Vuitton for example started out as a suitcase company, and is well known for its durability. Any bag thats x amount of stupid dollars has to be made with the best quality leathers, materials and machines. I swear by all my designer bags and most are purchased because of style and compatibility, rarely any are very brandy.

When I mean brandy, I'm talking mostly names. Jackets that have "DOLCE & GABANNA" written all over it, shirts that have "CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER" written all over it. Brands can be excused when subtle. Most stylish, classy lines are very subtle with their branding. Some clothes you can look and just know who designed it because of the way it looks. BUT there are just too many brands who make plain clothes and stamp "DOM REBEL" or "SMET" on the front with lame looking writing to make it expensive.

Wake up Calgary & get some style, sheesh. I'm one to talk though, I've got some brandy stuff. I guess thats just society though. Where does the line cross between being stylish and being brandy. Me? I love to cheap shop. If I can find something a jacket that fits me awesome and looks chillin' thats 30 bucks and find another one that LOOKS JUST LIKE IT at say... Urban thats 150. Hell, I'm gonna rock 30 bucks and say "yah, I got this from stitches". I got a car to pay off ya'll. I wanna say if I had the money to blow I wouldn't be such a saver shopper but thats not true, clothes come and go, especially with girls. Girls clean out their closets almost 5+ times a year, but new clothes and give away most. Plus they just cover your body. Remember adam & eve? They only had leaves! hahaha... Anyways, Calgary, what I'm really trying to say is, for all you who rock super brandy expensive clothes and think your above me in society, you just look like a carbon copy of the rest of the people who dress like you because they can afford it, and your style reads "straight up wasted my money on these clothes because I can't figure out my own personal style, thats right, my style is BALLLINNNNN" =)
