^This, I spent years look for jeans with the right wash and never quite found what I was looking for, then one day I stumbled into Nordstom and saw some Rock & Republic jeans that were exactly what I was looking for. I dont mind spendin more money to get the look I want. Im not ballin so I wait for sales, and dont shop that often, but when I do shop, Im going to buy what the ? I want, I dont have any kids and dont plan to have any anytime soon. -
amazing seeing this lil high school ? buying a polo shirt for $125,and paid for it with a $300 macy's giftcard his mother gave him Xmas.
all i said to co worker and friend is that lil ? will only wear it 5 times the most and then hop on to the next fad.He should of
waited for the ? to be 50% off within the next 2 months so he can get more for his money. smh -

what's the difference between the prada & the fila...none... one just say prada the other say fila
one cost 350 Bucks the other 50, yet people rather pay 200+ more dollars for the prada
this is what most companies do...cop them a plain shirt for 5-10 cents , put some designs on it and more importantly there logo and sell it for $50 ...aND now ya clown ass fill like somebody...
i never got why people don't understand this ? ...when it comes to alot of "high end" brand names it really is just paying for the name on the product and not the actual quality -
It only costs $5 to make a pair of Jordan's but they run $150 and up but a ? keep a pair on his feet
c/s. for a moment in my life i was kinda into being fly and paying good bread for name brand clothes. not no 250 for jeans.. thats ridic, but i would break bread. until i went to Korea. and a ? could get brand new authentic J's for $40, air ones all that ? for 25-35$. then i go back to the states and that got the same Jordans im rocking in foot locker for $150. went to marshalls the same coogi shirt i had at home i paid $10 for, was 90. i said ? that ? . if the korean man selling it to me for 50, this fool probably getting it for 10. and cats in the states paying 3 times what im paying. i havent been to a mall since that was 4 years ago . now man clothes is just clothes i buy what i like and dont give a damn about a brand. -
i feel like this if u have extra income and your bills are stable, then by all means do you. i think what the T/S was trying to say was cats that have little to no money, arent financially straight, and blow the lil $$ they do get on expensive ass ? they dont even need. i dont care what yall say we all know people that do it. my boy back home just blew a $4000 school grant on muthafucking jewelry, and a trip to MIA. and this ? dont have a crib or car. SMH

i was all on the name brand ? when i was a young cat - but now ? got bills & ? ... it becomes less serious. especially when you get alot of money - it becomes alot less important. i know millionaires who wear no brand name clothing whatsoever. it becomes less about appearing to have money ... because they really DO have money.

The worst is these cats in the club with Gucci and Prada on trying to be european. First of all, 99% of that ? is fake, second of all - the actual european millionaires who wear that ? look at ? and laugh. You're playing yourself if you wear that ? for real.

so u think white folks dont do this too? im tired of ppl sayin ? always doin this and not doin that like were the only ones with problems.....stop putting white folks on a pedestal cuz they walk around broke cuz of buyin dumb ? too they just hide the fact that they broke better.
-
oh no.
white folks do this but not at the rate blacks do.
i have lived around and with white folks and they are quick to buy some new balances or skateboard shoes for 65 bucks and keep saving them dollas. -
what business do you know of that has name brand clothes in thier budget?? LOL smh at thinking the ups man is wearing brown sean john outfitspaying for brand name clothes doesn't equal living paycheck to paycheck
it's called having budget and if you stick to it you can the things you like plus more
the bottom line is we wont ever own anything but our smaller possesions like clothes and furniture .... and yes ... you do live pay check to pay check ..... its not because of buying name brand clothes tho ..... that is true .... -
i think he's tryin to ask why do people buy name brand clothes when they are equal in quality to generic brands. the only thing your spending the extra money on is the name. i guess it could be argued that "name brand" clothes fit better and are more comfortable in some cases ???i feel like this if u have extra income and your bills are stable, then by all means do you. i think what the T/S was trying to say was cats that have little to no money, arent financially straight, and blow the lil $$ they do get on expensive ass ? they dont even need. i dont care what yall say we all know people that do it. my boy back home just blew a $4000 school grant on muthafucking jewelry, and a trip to MIA. and this ? dont have a crib or car.
