Made better

Daily writing prompt
What brands do you associate with?

I’d like to be able to answer this as unabashedly as Mike Williams did, but I’m all over the place when it comes to brands. I kind of hate to admit that I like certain brands, but I suppose deep down I do. Having grown up wearing knock offs of absolutely everything, I really do appreciate owning something name brand.

At the same time, half of my wardrobe and half of what’s in my home have come from thrift stores. That’s the honest to god truth.

I can’t think of a single brand where I absolutely love everything they create. What I mean to say is I couldn’t say oh I love Coach. I might like half the stuff they make but detest the other half.

When it comes to food I typically don’t buy generic stuff because a lot of the time there is a difference in the quality.

  1. I have thrifted for almost my entire life and like that I can get beautiful secondhand items in great condition at a fraction of full retail. I love old school vintage leather Coach.

    1. Yes it’s one thing to find something beautiful in a thrift store and purchase it for just a few dollars but it’s a whole other thrill to acquire a thrifted item that was considered high end or brand name!!

      1. I once found a pair of green Gucci driving loafers for 50 cents at a rummage sale in my size. Got some Angelus cleaner for suede and they cleaned up beautifully

  2. πŸ˜€ you have a great sense of style and branding CJ – even if its a mix of things whose brand is unknown because it has no tags, you have great taste.

    and i agree with the food. i am picky with the brands. although i’m sure there as here in the US, every company now has their “upscale version”. ours in New Jersey is called Bowl & Basket! Mike
