Cyberdog skirt - A lovely unique skirt made by the brand cyberdog. 
An exclusive and quite expensive brand of partywear in the UK.
I don't care about brands at all; I either like something or I don't like something. I have never bought something merely because the brand is 'hot' or something like that. Off course there are brands and shops out there that you like better because they have a certain style so you are most likely to find something that you love. However, I will buy any clothes I like from whichever brand at whatever shop. I've found out that quality might defer, I've had cheap clothing that last me longer than brandclothing and the other way around too. You have to look closely into it and see which brands are more likely to last longer, but there are also difference inbetween different lines of the same clothing brand. You can never be 100% sure and it also depends on what you require; if you have a job were you clothing gets dirty all the time or gets pulled a lot by the kids you are working with for example. I do like the brand cyberdog, not everything but they have some great clubwear. They have things that you will not find anywere else and that's what I like about it. I posted a pic of a skirt I bought, it's no longer distributed but luckily I found a girl who was willing to sell it. I got a purple one; wished it were a white one but at least I managed to get it:) The skirt has to be worn with a hotpants underneath, unfortunatly I only have the skirt at the time being as this is quite an expensive brand. It goes very well with anoter hotpants too I must say, but I like the set as shown. My skirt is purple and I currently wear it with a 1 euro hotpant below it I got somewhere, so that's really cheap. Shows what kind of a person I am when it comes to mixing brands:)

Thanks so much for your response. I like clothing that's unique too, that's why I also like sewing clothing myself :) It's very fullfilling making your own clothes.

i don't go for brands when i buy clothes. although there are subtle differences between branded and non-branded clothes, it's not worth paying so much to me. moreover, brand does not mean quality. when i buy clothes, there are a few important things. firstly, the material must not crease easily. the style must allow me to wear it everyday. the fabric is also a consideration. the brand would not even influence my decision. good day ;p

yes i totally agree with that. brand doesn't matter at all to me. quality and style does though. price also plays a part as i just can't afford expensive clothes. i have quite a few pieces that i got during sales. it's cheap, good and stylish too. :D

I dont like spending that much on buying clothes.Most of the times if i buy branded clothes i look online or i look to the shop who got price off..I can same more money and i can have what i want.I like a lot of design of clothes but i cannot just wear clothes who is not 70 to 100% cotton.

For me brand is not important,as long as the fits and design is nice and good.I really dont care if it branded or no name.Branded clothes is so expensive so if i can find a clothes who have good quality and it come to my taste and qualified then i'll buy it.In that case i have very nice clothes in very nice price..

For me, personally, brand is not at all important. Quality is more important, it always comes first, and then the fashion/style of the cloths comes second, whether it is my taste not. Well, of course price is something that I will always consider as well. I find that some of the time, branded clothes are bad in quality, by that I don't mean their workmanship, but rather the material they used. And you have to take special care to wash them. Having to pay a high price to get them is already a setback, to have to handle them with special care is truly an ordeal for me.

Hi eltmin, Thats right quality has to be good but branded name is more on quality and design.They have too.I agree w/ you that you must choose the clothes in your fashion and in your style.That you will feel good w/ it and not being concious everytime.You must be comfortable w/ your clothes and you can move easily..yes that right they used same material. I buy no brand clothes also but i dont like imitation,i rather buy cheaper price unbranded clothes than imitation. Have a nice day..TC Enjoy posting... Greetings from Che!

I love certain brands of clothes, but when it comes to buying them I'll go for the good price first before I'd go for brand. If I can tell the clothes are made well, the brand makes no difference. I'd rather have a good price on clothes than to have someone give me a compliment for my top brand outfit. For instance, I buy the majority of my clothes at garage sales! A lot of them are top brand like Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Hollister. I love those brands, and it's a bonus when I can get them at a garage sale for much, much cheaper. I usually get each piece of clothing at a garage sale for $1 or less per piece. It's like Christmas to me! (LOL) I like when I find a garage sale where there's a gal my size who's selling all her nice clothes (because she grew out of them or for some other reason like that). I just buy the whole table of clothes for a flat price. Like say I see a table of 20 items that will all fit and are clothes I like, I'll offer them $10 for the entire bunch of clothes. The best part is the usually say yes! I get them all for great deals. So I'd much rather spend less money than have top brand clothes. Maybe someday I'll be rich and have money to burn (LOL), but for now I'm set with what I buy. Great discussion!

If you ever come to the US to visit me (LOL), I'll take you to a garage sale, and we can go shopping for clothes! You're right about top brand clothes lasting longer. They really do, but you get what you pay for. If you want to pay more for a brand of clothes, they'll last longer. If you want to pay less, they won't last as long. Of course, if you can find good brand clothes for cheaper or on sale, then you find a great deal! I like clothes for their fit and design too. Price and fit are the two most important things about clothes to me. Color and design don't matter to me as much since that can change all the time. Fit should be good for what you buy. If they don't fit right, there's no use in buying them!

Yes i heard about grage sale in Us.We dont have that much here.BUt one a year we got this market who you can sale all the old stuff,clothes,etc.With that you can find a lot of things.I dont really a big fan of branded clothes although i buy some branded clothes it is not because of the name but then becouse i find the design real good and it fits very good.But i have to agree most of the branded clothes i got i am still using them after 5 to 6 years.Thanks God that my body is not changing that much a year.It sound really fun to go in garage sale.I can see only garage sale in the tv.I am curious..hehe..Thanks fro the response ..tc ..Che

yes, i care, but i do not always buy brandy clothes. for clothes with good brand, i do think their quality is good. and also when you wear it, others know it is a famous brand then you will feel very proud. aslo the after-service is nice for most brand. but the brandy clothes are more expensive than normal ones, so sometimes i do not always buy brandy clothes.

I would lie if I said I don't care and I don't pay attention to the brand I buy. However, when it comes to others, I try not to judge the book by its cover. If I were a millionaire, I would definitely buy only brandy clothes, now - I am satisfied with my Chinese clothes, thanks God I have what to put on ! :)

I like to buy things that are fun and different. I could care less about brands. The cheaper...the better. I have developed my own style over the years as well as confidence so I don't feel I need to blend in and look like everyone else. My top picks for places to shop are discount and thrift stores.

I never felt the need to go only for branded clothes. There are lots of clothes out there which give the same quality as the branded clothes. Branded clothes give a uniqueness to the clothing style you wear. Also shows you can afford it.

yes your right some people is like this living w/ thisr own lifestyle only buying branded clothes.if they can affored it why not.But i think its a waste of money if they are both good quality and same design but only different is the other one got name branded and the other one who doesnt.I buy branded also but then if i really like the design but i dont care buying cheap and non branded clothes. as long as it fits well and nice design that i can carry..Have a nice day..

Hello friend As for me, i am not care the brand of the clothes i buy.Because i only care the quality and the price.If there are two clothes that they are same quality,the difference between the two is only the brand,one is branded, one is not.I will of course choose the one which is not branded clothes dut to the cheap price. I think because of the famous brand, so it is more expensive.Brand is the money.I mostly care the quality with the price i can accept. Maybe some one would say if he wears a branded clothes, it will make him more honorable and vogue. Happy every day!!

Hi there my friend, I dont care about brand either, but then ofcourse if i can afford to buy i would.But they are really expensive..I rather save them and go to vacation in other country for two weeks.But i dont deny i buy branded clothes sometimes if i like the design and fitting.And i also buy cheap one who got very good quality.I agree that some people buy branded clothes becaose they want people look at them that they wearing branded clothes.I think thats rediculous if they cant afford it and still buying it.I know somebody is like that.There is no problem if she can afford it.She really like branded clothes and buying the most expensive one and after a while she doesnt have money anymore to afford food. She borrowed money w/ me everytime and i told her about stop buying expensive clothes. She said that is her addiction hahaha(LOL),very expensive addiction..Have a nice day my friend..TC Greetings from Che!

Sometimes when you look at two identical clothing, one from cheaper brand and the other more expensive brand, you thought their qualities are the same, but when you try it on and after how many washings then you will see their difference. Sometimes looks can be deceiving. More expensive brands especially ones that have been in the market for a long time have developed a reputations over time, they wouldn't last that long if people find their quality lacking. I always choose quality over quantity and with cheaper brands, well you always get what you pay for.

Hi Xushanna, You got point in what you said.That true, i have this branded clothes that i awearing it already for how many years and i still like it,actually it is my favorite.And i wash it every week atleast i do my laundry only in the weekd end. And i bought also some clothes that time same day i bought the branded name i got.BUt i am not using them anymore.The color fad already and i dont like that.Althou they look ok but i dont want to used them outside the house.(LOL).Yes i agree that they develop thier reputations over a time.They are not going to get that name if they are really selling shity things. For me as long as the clothes is good quality ,comfortable,good fits,and nice design and i really like it it doesnt matter what kind of brand i'll still going to buy it no matter it cheap or expensive.Have a nice day..Enjoy posting..TC Greetings from Che!

No, I don't pay attention to brand names. Well, not anymore. I was heavily into skateboard gear years ago. Now I'm okay with getting a shirt from Target or Wal Mart. I don't care. I do like getting clothes from Old Navy because they sell cargos. The quality of the clothes don't really phase me either. I just want something that fits and that's it.

I don'treaaly buy branded clothes. I prefer mostly on cheaper clothes. I guessed one h as to be practical. It only depends on how you will carry it. Even then it is branded and it doesn't fits you it still awkward to tye eyes of other people. Your choices of dress or clothing varies one personality. We have to choose clothing that will fit us regardless if its branded or not.

Absolutely right specially right now you have to practical.And my cousin always said he doesnt buy branded clothes also but he buy cheap clothes but good quality.He said that doesn't mean that if its cheaper is not good quality and not good clothes he said it is in the person who wear the clothes on how they carry it.And i am agree w/ that.I think if the fitting and the quality of clothes is good why should i am going to buy a branded clothes.You got point w/ that.Have a nice day!And take care...

i'd prefer buying clothes that are branded even though it is local. i don't know why. maybe because i'm sure of the quality. and i'm going to buy clothes i know what type of clothes i want so i go directly to the brand i like without doing window shopping. i guess that's how most of the males do their shopping. lol

Hi neilchua, Branded clothes is so expensive thats true but if you will look for the quality i have to agree w/ you they are really good.All branded clothes that i got i am still using them even after 5 years already and the clothes that unbranded that i bought the color paid already.But i have to agree that some clothes who is very cheap and no names can have very good design and good quality sometimes..For me as long as i can carry the clothes or fit very good..i dont care..have a nice day!
