nice thread. galing ng ibang mga posts dito.. i definitely learned a lot!

anyway, i want to post my reaction to let you think about the topic from another perspective.

i am barely fashionable. i have very little, bordering to non-existent, fashion sense. as much as i want to mix and match outfits, try new looks and generally revamp my whole wardrobe, well.. i always end up buying clothes of similar styles. my usual get-up is blouse, skinny jeans and flip flops. i go to the mall and find almost any other girl with this kind of outfit. i must admit, girls dito sa Pinas, talagang almost same ang fashion sense. before you are quick to scrutinize other girls and label them as clones, has it ever occured to you that there are girls, like me, who ADMITTEDLY just don't have a sense of style? LOL. i really don't know how to rephrase that without sounding too pathetic but it is true. as much as i'd love to experiment with unconventional styles, in the end, i feel stupid and i am not comfortable at all. that is why i just oggle at foreign magazines that feature different sense of fashion. for me, in whatever i wear, i value what is most comfortable, sadly, it is the "common" fashion. not to further depress my self-esteem, i just say to myself.. fashion is not really my forte in life. it is true. i just don't have enough interest in spending all the time and effort figuring out what matches what. it comes to the point that i just don't care. i don't care if i blen d in the crowd. i'd rather look like the next girl than feel embarrased by trying too hard to wear something i'm not comfortable with. i am also not ashamed to admit that i save up to be able to buy branded footwear (cough FITFLOPS cough) because they are super comfortable, and i have come to conclude from my past purchases that.. when i buy the cheaper stuff, more often than not, i get blisters or.. the shoe/sandals only lasts me 3 days. same with bags. does that make me pasosyal? a copycat?

with my income, i definitely cannot afford to buy luxury goods, but i don't find anything wrong with spending your hard earned money on the things you want. it amuses me how some people are quick to judge others on what they spend their money with--how others save and save for an LV. as long as hindi sila nangungutang from me, bahala sila anong gusto nilang bilhin. bahala sila if they eat pandesal and sardines to own a Chanel. pake ko sa kanila. i try hard to mind my own business kasi napaka ayoko din yung pinakikialaman ako. if some people live beyond their means, it is them who will suffer the consequences. i go on with my life.

great read about Warren Buffet. he is someone to definitely emulate. i try to live simply, as much as I can. i do believe in minimalist living.

^no sis, it doesn't make you a copycat for i definitely believe that we all have different reasons for our purchases.

in my case, i love dressing up with classic and timeless pieces. you'll when it comes to clothes, i'm not very particular with the brand. in fact, i love to scour ukay shops tapos inaalter ko yung mga nabibili ko dun para maging apt sa size ko or style na gusto ko. you'll often see me in a dark blue skinny jeans, black open-toed pumps, white button-down polo, tapos.

pero sa bags, i'm very meticulous. lalo sakin na mabilis makasira ng gamit. nung 2nd year high school ako, my dad gave me an lv speedy tapos kahit mga tita ko nagtataka kasi maayos at ginagamit ko pa rin sya ngayon kahit 6 years na yung lumipas. i have 3 other lvs but basically, my reason for splurging for those bags is the quality. yes, may mga bags din siguro na hindi ganun kamamahal na matitibay rin pero as for me, nasubukan ko na kasi talaga. siguro mako-consider ko din yung sarili ko na sanay na rin sa pag-distinguish ng fake at hindi kaya aaminin ko, sometimes it annoys me kapag merong mga sobrang OA makapag-show off ng mga "high-end" bags nila eh obvious naman na counterfeit (super light patina, etc.). para kasi sakin it's when you don't try too hard that you get noticed.

probably it's the need to feel accepted nga pero hindi naman kailangan ibalandra mo yung mga gamit mo. this reminds me tuloy nung post sa sosyalera.net yung tungkol sa mga tao na super pa-picture katabi ng frap nila sa starbucks to show the world that they can afford to buy a 150-worth cup of coffee.

^Natawa ako sa P150 Frap. Kasi ang dami nga ganun sa facebook. As if fashion statement or national landmark ang starbucks frap.

just share my opinion mga sissies

Kung afford naman na magkaroon ng branded na mga kagamitan,why not diba?some people are so lucky enough dahil kaya nila bumili ng mga ganitong gamit,some others naman,bumibili sila ng branded dahil they work hard at parang gift and reward na lang nila iyun for their self,there's nothing wrong of buying branded stuff,just as long na you can afford it and hindi galing sa masama yung pinang bili mo,having these things it's not necessarily means that your being materialistic,

on the other side,you can't blame naman po some other people kung bakit gumagawa sila ng mga clone na mga gamit at iba naman eh mahilig mag suot ng mga clone stuff (although it's illegal),nasa mahirap na bansa po kasi tayo at karamihan ng mga tao dito ay hindi ma afford ang mga branded at mamahalin kagamitan,aminin man po kasi natin o hindi,eh talagang humahanga po tayo sa tibay at ganda ng mga branded na mga gamit,pero dahil mga ibang tao hindi ma afford,kaya ayun bagsak nila is bibili na lang sila nung mga ka clone nung branded na gamit na gusto nila,

about dun sa para pareho ang mga porma,hindi po natin ito maiiwasan,dahil ang mga kumpanya na gumagawa nito eh hindi lang iisang products ang ginagawa kundi maramihan at yung iba eh talagang magkaka pareho pa styles at iba ibang kulay nga lang,kaya pag labas sa market nung mga products nila,hindi maiiwasan na makabili ng parehong produkto ang mga consumers, lalo na at magka pareho sila ng style sa pananamit or gustong gamit,

ako hindi turn off sakin kung pareho man nang porma,mas importante sakin yung personality at ugali nung tao na nagsusuot at nagdadala,kaya mapa branded man o clone ang gamit kung pangit naman ugali ng gumagamit yun yung Turn Off sakin,opinion ko lang yan mga sis

xtine · « **Reply #188 on:** February 06, 2011, 11:33:59 am »

I agree. There's not enough merchandise here in phils as compared to hong kong. Most of the time Iisa ang style Kaya no choice maginf pare pareho.

khat · « **Reply #189 on:** February 06, 2011, 12:37:40 pm »

yup may point ka sis,minsan nasa merchandise din ng mga stores iyan,dito kami sa u.s nakatira,at dahil marami varieties dito,madalang ka lang makakita talaga ng pare parehong mga styles or porma,at kung meron man,hindi naman buong outfit eh magka mukha,

eto ang opinion ko,sa pananaw ko lang po ito ha

siguro kung aalis ako kasama ang mga friends ko,or may kasama man ako,kung alam ko na ganito ang gagamitin or isusuot nila na kapareho ng sakin,hindi ko na muna isusuot yung sakin (unless na lang if gusto namin ng parehong style na suotin)

may mga gamit ako na kapareho ng sa mga kapatid ko (minsan po kasi hindi maiiwasan na makabili ng gamit ko na magugustuhan din nila,syempre since kapatid ko sila,nag a2gree ako na gayahin nila,same thing with me too pag sa kanila)

true minsan na pag nasa labas ka,lalo na sa mall,may makita kang isang group na super pare pareho yung suot nila at style nila from head to toe,hindi mo maiwasan ang hindi sila mapansin,(pero syempre it's their style,siguro ganun yung feel nila,at dun sila happy,kaya let them be)

minsan may mga kakilala or kaibigan na magustuhan ang ibang kagamitan at bibili din sila ng ganun,dahil siguro nagandahan nung nakasuot,ok lang naman sakin,pero super ayoko na kung halos gamit ko ay ganun din ang binibili niya,ultimo from head to toe na style ko,eh gaya na din nila,yun po yung medyo off sakin,ok lang yung iba,pero huwag naman lahatin,

pero kung hindi ko naman kakilala at nagkataon na pareho kami,ok lang yun sakin,nagkataon lang siguro

like i said,walang masama na bumili ng branded na gamit,just as long na afford mo at hindi galing sa masama ang pinang bili (but i really do admire po yung mga taong kayang kaya bumili,pero pinili pa rin gumamit ng mga practical na kagamitan,

sa pananaw ko lang po ito ha

i love this thread it's only now that i've come across this thread! sayang nakapagcomment sana ako...

I love this kind of topic. One that would stir everyone's mind. Although it earned a lot of negative feedbacks, I think it's a good topic. Because as spartan puts it, its something that has been present in our society yet we all hate to talk about coz a lot of us are guilty. Kudos to Spartan!

I wish there would be more topics like this.

sinosikat · « **Reply #191 on:** June 16, 2011, 05:23:58 pm »

i don't think it really matters kung ano suot mo. what's important is how confident you are kahit ano pa suot mo

I don't care. Ang mata ko nama-magnet sa show of skin or show of curves

"porma" is a female concern. Or concern ng model-modelang mga lalaki.

^I like!! LOL, parang FB lang, my like pa!

"porma" is a female concern - 95% agree

I understand what Spartan wants to point out with this thread, its not the actual purchasing of signature items that has issues, but how girls pair up the stuff they have, to the extent that it sometimes look so generic na.

This is definitely one of my pet peeves kaya ayokong nakikisunod sa uso na mga brands/gamit, naalala ko yung fad ng button up shirts (polo style) na tucked sa shorts tapos may belt, pair it with boyfriend watches and longchamp bags pa.

No offense meant to those na fans ng longchamp, para kasi sakin, its nothing but a high end shopping bag. wa-appeal, id rather spend my money on michael kors or coach or kate spade which costs a little more than the price of those longchamps which everyone seems to have nowadays. Ako guilty ako of not having even just a single one, may kasunduan na kami ng wallet ko -- Ill never buy longchamps unless they release a collection that has Kokeshi/Japanese Doll prints on it, pero di ko rin gagamitin, for the sake of collecting stuff with Japanese Dolls lang. Hehe!

Aside from that, minsan may makikita ka rin na por que uso and almost everyone's wearing the same thing, yun narin ang bibilhin kahit na hindi naman keri, i know nasa confidence naman yun ng nagdadala, pero we cant deny the fact na meron talagang mga bagay na hindi bagay sa iba. Kasi ako, I make sure Im familiar with the colors, specific cuts and styles that dont look flattering on me, given that, mas maiintindihan mo kung ano yung mga bagay sayo at magcocomplement sa built, complexion and height mo.

i'll wear branded clothes if its a gift. but for me to buy it.... hmmnn.. lemme think about it.

i only have one branded bag. and it's not even LV. it's CK. and i use it all the time cuz of its matibay and im notorious on putting too much things to my bag na maaga silang nagreretire. LOL

clothes? i dun care kung saan galing damit ko or kung anong brand nila. nasa confidence mo lang yan at kahit gasgas na to pero oo, nasa pagdadala mo lang yan.

its weird how girls wear super duper high heels when they want to go to the mall tapos kung maglakad e parang madapa-dapa na.

its also weird how girls love to wear super short skirts tapos hila dito, hila doon. i wear skirts as well, in fact i love wearing them. and when i do, i let them be as short or as long as they should be. hindi ako hila dito, hila doon. duh? you wore them to show legs tapos pag tumaas ng onti, sige kang hila ng hila pababa. its annoying. if you can't carry it well, if you aren't comfortable with it, DON'T WEAR IT.

Hi All
Simple lang yan.

Among 10 people alam mo kung sino ang artist or fine arts students , tama? porma palang iba na.
kasi... inborn yun meron sariling diskarte, style at taste. pwede mag mix and match ng kahit ano at most specially hindi branded kundi common mumurs kung hndi naman DIY.

Hindi lahat kayang mag isip at dumiskarte ng sariling get-ups or mag decide ng brand na bagay sa sarili.
kaya ang ending eh, mang gaya nalang kung anong suot ng celebrity, kung anong uso or kung anong comfortable.

Kagaya ng sabi ng friend ko "Society Confuses Mind" super true ito. ang tunay na dicatator ay ang society ang laki ng effect nito sa buying pattern ng mga tao.

kaya... for those na artist within, apir!
sa mga problematic mag decide, tagay pa!
sa mga gaya gaya, kill the TV

POV ko lang naman ito.
Peace
