Labels

Why is it that nowadays no one really looks at what clothes really look like but what label they have on it. I have a friend who loves ruehl because she thinks it's "made nicely". Well idk in my opinion abercrombie, hollister, and ruehl things are over priced. I dont own anything from ruehl because i think its just too expensive. abercrombie and hollister are ok but the only thing i'll buy are the t-shirts or jackets beause i think theyre more worth it than the super thin spaghetti strap tops there. I think people are too concerned with name brands. I buy what i think is nice not just because it has a moose embroidered on the corner. Our focus on name brands is kind of worse due to the fact that we have dress code. Dress code only allows us to have our own knee length pants, jackets and jewelry. Because of this, people splurge on buying many pairs of 7 for all mankind, citizens of humanity, and frankie b jeans. These jeans cost at least $100. Then there are the various ruehl, hollister and abercrombie jackets. And of course the many kinds of tiffany's jewelry that adorn almost every girl on campus (except me lol). I think we all just pay too much attention to labels and having clothes that display your wealth.

Although I do agree that Hollister, Rheul, and Abercrombie are really expernsive, I totally love their chlothes. So, to kill two birds with one stone, I go the the Pearl Ridge Holister. There is like garaunteed clothes on sale. I pretty much go nuts in there. But you're right. The regular prices are too expensive. Frankie B's and True religions are even worse. HOnestly, one pair of destroyed true religions is like $350. Its ridiculous because most people like me can't afford that.

I think you're totally right, and I think I committed the crime that you mentioned. I have to admit that I am one who cares a lot about the brand of the clothing. I don't understand how people can afford to have a drawer full of True religion, Franke B, 7's, citizens, etc. I think it makes it worse that we go to Punahou, where popularity is really big. But why do you think people really want to wear designer clothing? Is it because they want to fit in more? Or is it REALLY because they think its "well made", as your friend describes it?

P.S: I love Pearl Ridge Hollister!
