I get my jeans from Pacific Sunwear (PacSun) because most store's jean don't fit me well - they're usually HUGE around my thighs. Lol, and Old Navy has been carrying cute clothes. Their shorts fit me well. But I do like the "designer" bags since they are better quality and sometimes handbags take a beating more than clothing and are worn more often.

But, for me, bottom line is....if it looks great and if it's decent quality and will last more than a week - I'll buy it!
The thing that bothers me about Old Navy and Target for me (even though I just bought 4 dresses there yesterday) is the fact that so many people are going to be wearing the same thing. And I have issues with that. I don't like to be wearing the same thing. Luckily my 4 closest friends all have totally different taste from me, but even so, one of them ended up having 2 of the same short sets last summer and it drove me batty because we hang out all the time. I ended up donating them half way through the summer.
