After reading the disagreement about A & F clothes in the worst trends thread,I wondered,are you ladies brand loyal?I find that more and more,as I get older,that I am. Most of my wardrobe is Ralph Lauren,Eddie Bauer or J Jill.For shoes it is my Docs,Birkenstock,Naturalizer or Nike.I don't shop to be snotty,I simply think these companies make a better product.I would much rather pay a higher price for a nice wool or linen skirt from Ralph Lauren that has a classic fit and style than something that is trendy that costs alot anyway and will be out of style in 3 months.I also find that the quality and feel of the fabric has alot to do with my purchasing decisions.Don't get me wrong though,I can and do find cute stuff from Target that I wear too. As for my shoes,I am on my feet all day so I have to wear good quality shoes.Birenstocks are the most fabulous shoes ever made and are worth every penny that you pay for them.
