Do you have to buy name brand clothing?

I like to buy name brand these days. I don't think generic clothing looks good on me or fits me right. Name brand clothing tends to last me longer also. I always got generic clothing when I was growing up because that is all my mom and dad could afford. I was teased and made fun of in school also for not having the name brands. I guess I buy what I can afford and get name brands when I can now.

I buy affordable clothing which many times means not brand name. I also will shop proudly at second hand stores, which many people can't never tell. In fact the few times I dress up, I receive many compliments on my out fits and when asked where did you buy that, I tell them "Good Will". I have never been one into paying more than I really need to, so brand names just means "pay more" to me and that is silly.

I don't usually shop for brand name clothing. I would shop around for good quality clothes that are just as good as brand name ones. Only if I am going to a wedding or somewhere specail would I deliberately shop for brand names as I wouldn't like anybody to think I was a cheap skater.

No, I choose to because I like to look my best and branded clothing looks a lot better then unbranded clothing.
