Ditto for me, word to word. Of course I'd prefer a certain piece of clothing in a store if its brand promises better quality and survivability but otherwise clothes are all about covering you and making you look good. If something gives you that then you need nothing more.
i usually just buy whatever i see that's nice but i love going to zara ( my favorite-favorite ) , asos , american apparel , h&m , and urban outfitters if i have some extra money
honestly i go thrift store shopping a lot so it ends up being random and obscure brands? however, whenever i go to the mall i always make it a point to go in h&m and american eagle.
