Why we buy what we buy

Everyone says diamonds are a girls best friend, but for me my favorite brands are my best friend.  So why exactly do I buy the type of clothes that I buy? Or the type of shoes that I buy?  Well honestly its because I either like the design or I love the brand.  My favorite brand for clothes is fox.  The reason why this is, is because first of all its a dirt biking logo and I love to ride dirt bikes.  I also wear fox because I love the colors and designs.  When you think have Rob Dyrdek you think off DC clothing, or his shows.  People who are fans of Rob wear is clothing brand.  So why exactly do we choose the brands that we do?  Is it because of the people or things that they represent or is it to give us a status in the world.  If you have a Prada bag people think you have money, just like if you decide to buy the real thing or a knock off brand.  But does the type of clothing you wear, or the things you buy define who you are?  Some people may think so, but others disagree.  I wear my clothes because they look good and represent things that I do.  If I see a famous person wearing certain types of clothes I don't just go out and buy it cause they wore it.  I am my own person and if people judge us for how we dress they could essentially be missing out on someone very cool.  So let what you wear express yourself and don't let people judge you for the type of clothing you wear.
