I had been hiatus due to school and work.<br /><br />You're right about the quality of branded items usually being better, but I had many times come across items that are similar in style to (with craftsmanship on par with) the brand names, at a fraction of the branded item's price. I think it's all about choosing your items carefully, and shopping smart ^^. I love shopping online for such "deals", but then there's also a problem with shopping online – you don't know if you're gonna get what you think you're gonna get... but I can go on for a long time about this topic.. :P<br /><br />I know what you're saying about clothes that last only a season/two... I've had that problem before, so now I know how to shop smarter, not just buying items on impulse but actually going on a real hunt! Maybe it's also because I'm a poor student and don't like over-spending on items ^^" heh.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379157969178075482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815228920371197934.post-73452512776980103452012-08-10T18:53:31.429-07:002012-08-10T18:53:31.429-07:00I'm such a brand whore and I'll usually sa...I'm such a brand whore and I'll usually save my money and just splurge on some brand name clothing and accessories. Even though its costs about 5 times the price, I'll usually prefer the brand names to the lesser brands since I love the way it looks on me and the quality of it. Nothing irks me more than having clothes and/or accessories that only last a season or two!Richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773262927819750690noreply@blogger.com
