I think people are still as namebrand-conscious as ever, but the brands aren't as obvious. Like, no one really wears logo sweatshirts or tees as much anymore, and the labels are really small (think Kate Spade).
I wore "bitch bows" throughout middle school and high school. Is it no wonder now that I've cut my hair?
Off 5th is awesome, but am I the only person who doesn't think Saks is all that expensive?

I really like Ann Taylor Loft, too.
I proudly dress up for class. I have like, 2 pairs of jeans, which I don't wear that often. I will wear pearls to class when I feel like it. Yeah, sometimes I get looks, but with the classes I'm taking, it doesn't happen so much.
