Ah clothes brands! I'd have to say that at least 90% (probably more) of my wardrobe was previously owned. I shop at thrift stores and garage sales and get hand-me-downs from my friends who have jobs (woo!) and who decide to buy an entire new wardrobe for college (i know, who does that!) As far as brands, i dont think i could tell you the brand of anything I own. If i do happen to buy something at a conventional store, i generally avoid wearing it because it doesn't go with anything (including my personallity) or to avoid looking like a wannabe (which, i am sooo not). I'd make my own clothes before i resorted to shopping at the nearest mall (which, unfourtunatly, is very much devoid of cute botiques and hippy stores
)
