Last year I did a large report on clothing manufacturers and what companies own other companies making their clothes in the same factories. Old Navy, Gap, and Bannana Republic are the same company, all designed by the same people and made in the same factories. The only reason for the price difference is because if you are told its upscale clothes you will think it is. Abercrombie, Hollister and Energie are also the same company. Yes Energie, that brand you can by in Walmart, TJMaxx and many other stores in a Abercrombie company. Made, and desgined again by the same people. St. Johns Bay, JCPennys collection is owned by the same people who bring you BCBG and Cache which are all one company. Just because clothing is expensive doesn't mean it is made better or looks better on you. I am wealthy, very, but my clothes now come from where ever I can find cuter clothes, my formal dress is from goodwill, 10 bucks, its also a Ralph Lauren, my pants old navy, walmart and Target. Money and greed is the ruin of our society, Someone wearing Walmart can look just as pulled together an proffesional as someone wearing Bannana. People need to realize clothing is just something to cover their bodies, not something decarling how important you are. Instead of spending all your money on expensive clothing, donate it to the scholarship fund for your Greek Organization.


Sorry thats my 2 cents
