What Brand Would You Purchase If You Knew You Had No Budget?

Christian Louboutin is amazing. One of my top choices, if they came in my size (yeah right, I've checked). Other than that, anything that I like regardless of brand. I am partial to Converse skate shoes for every day wear (seems to be the only shoes I can find that are wide enough).

Glad to see I'm not the first guy posting in this thread. What can I say? Fashion is pretty irresistible to this gay guy.

I'd just like to be able to regularly afford Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Top Man, H&M and Gap. And vintage clothes. LOTS of vintage clothing.

Also, I am completely with praisedbeherhooves on the steampunk thing. Anything steampunk is like my ambrosia.

I can't wait til I buy these things for myself first of all, but I love designer labels, soooooo expensive though, very much out of my price range, but I also love the colour pink so anything pink, and I also like cute and comfortable like stuff from american eagle or aeropostale or hollister, I love hoodies like this one

See my avatar? I've been drooling over these Valentino Lace D'Orsay pumps for quite some time. They come in my size. Just not in my budget.

When I'm in boy mode I'm partial to Stacy Adams dress shoes. I love finding them on sale online.

I really couldn't name off brands to you. I look for what is cute and if it is in my budget. I shop anywhere really from Wal-Mart, Old Navy, JC Penny, Victoria Secret, Macy's or Nordstrom's. If they have womens clothes then I am looking. It all depends on what I like and if I can afford it at the time.

Ooh, that's hard. I would love to have an unlimited shopping spree at Hot Topic - they have the best shirts for my favorite bands! Oh! And Think Geek and Jinx have the best nerdy shirts by far. I already own a few, but only because it's a tradition in my house that my brothers and I all get a Jinx T-shirt for Christmas from my dad, but, unfortunately, he's still buying me only girls' shirts. Girl mode doesn't complain about that, but guy mode would like a nerdy shirt for once besides the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and The Lion King on Broadway shirts I have.

Until I win the lottery, Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Sears, JC Penney, and Target will do fine since they have some pretty good clothes despite the low price.

I don't really care about brands. I would buy the same clothes I buy now. Clothing brands aren't really important for me and I think it's silly to spend a small fortune on clothing items.

Given the financial ability to buy any brand I would buy my clothes from Talbot's, given my maturity (60 years young] and full figure size I just adore the classic styles they continue to produce .

When I can't afford it, I usually purchase the "Clearance" brand. I think they are produced by a company called "Rack", but don't quote me on that.

Also, I would buy a plane ticket to go to tokyo and buy stuff from the Harajuku & Shibuya districts! (There are really eccentric fashion boutiques there!!!)

:)

Just sayin': It's surprisingly hard to find those mysterious boutiques in Harajuku and Shibuya. Seriously? VERY hard. Much easier to find fish. Especially since the shopkeepers tend to climb over their wares to swing dead things like crab and eel and fish in your face. Mikiko and I had to look up online how to find the Lolita and cosplay shops. It was very hard! There are some really could places in Akihabara though, which is also home to most of the Maid Cafes in Tokyo (which are very cute and very fun).

I think all of those clothing in the photos are super cute, however I'll stick with my button ups and jeans :)

If I really had No Budget?

There is a lil boutique shop near my sisters house that I simply adore. I would love to hire the owner/designer, take her to Britex in Frisco and have her make me an entire wardrobe! It would be just awesome to have stuff that fit me perfectly and not have to make it myself.

Okay, now you have got me drooling all over myself thinking about an unlimited trip to Britex!

:lol:

If money was no object, I'd forget the clothes and buy one Coach purse, one Dooney & Burke purse and one Louis Vuitton purse.

Oh and then I hear there are some pretty nice designer jeans in big girl sizes. I'd check them out.

I love Anne Klien and Kate Spade. I was able to buy an Anne Klien dress in TJ for $10.00 unfortunatly I had to leave it behind and I am still mad at myself for doing that. I have a Kate Spade wallet and matching purse that I bought at a thrift store for $10.00. I was really lucky that day and found a coach purse for $29.00 as well.

I think I would spend way too much time in banana republic and ralph lauren, both places have great classy clothes. Not that I don't like flashy stuff, it's just the nice understated lines and slight preppyness of those two brands really catch my eye.

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.
