Are you a brand name user? What's your brand?

I have never been that type of person to require name brands. My sister is the opposite though...knowing all the names and what they cost. It just seems to me that I have better things to do with my time and money. Sure, I like Tommy...I even have a pair of Tommy high heels and knee high boots. But that is also only because I got them from DSW...a discount shoe warehouse. :) A few years ago, my sister bought me a Nine West purse. She was so excited for me. And then preceded to get upset at me for not knowing who or what Nine West was. She also decided that I needed to learn how to "Name Drop". Because if you have something that is designer, then one must "Name Drop". Umm...yeah, sorry....I don't get it. What I do get is what I like and try to save money while doing it. LOL

I wear basic brand names like Ana jeans and Arizona t-shirts. They aren't the best known brands but they work for me. It isn't necessary to have brand name clothes since they don't increase popularity all that much.

I wasn't either. It took me a while but I did finally manage to convince hubby that clothes from Walmart, Kmart & Target were just as good as clothes from the mall & were way less expensive. There are times that we will buy a particular brand name of clothes, but it's usually because of the way they fit. Hubby prefers Levis over Wranglers but in his line of work, it's better to ruin a $12 pair or Wranglers than a $50 pair of Levis. I prefer Chic jeans for the range of sizes that fit me better than most of the others. Other than that, it's usually whatever is on sale & we're comfortable wearing. It never has to do with popularity as all our friends like to save money too, lol.

Yes, I love Jos A Bank, Vinyard Vines and Brooks Brothers. I just prefer brand namessince they look and feel better than generic ones and hold up better over time.
