I'll Wear Whatever I Want, Thanks!

Know what Greenday? Some of us don't care to donate, and you can't hold that against a person.

I have the money to dress in AE, Hollister, and Buckle clothes, and I'll refuse to someone's face to donate if it's not something I want to donate to.

Besides the fact that not everyone always has cash on them at all times or may be in a hurry, it's not fair to judge like that. Donating is a personal choice, not something that should ever be forced or guilted upon someone, even if they are dressed nicely and look well off.

A few weeks ago, some club on campus was trying to raise money for some charity or another. One of the guys asked some girl walking by if she could donate and she responded that she doesn't have money. His response? "You can afford a North Face jacket and Uggs but you can't afford to donate a dollar?" Owned.

I am commonly hit up for money by people who see me with my 400$ and assume I have money if I dress nice or anything like that the truth is I sometimes can afford nice things for myself but rarely.

I just thought it was a witty remark. I don't care if she donates or not. I didn't donate either.

Is North Face a popular brand? I hadn't heard of it until it was brought up here. I had to Google it.

I had a look at the North Face website, and their clothing and boots appear to be of high quality and very practical. As far as clothing fads go, this one seems not so bad. It's refreshing when a high price is justified by the quality instead of just the name-brand logo.

I think it well worth the $. I was just out in about 28F with a long sleeve shirt, thin NF hoodie, and the NF Apex shell (thin one). As soon as I was moving for 5 mins, it felt like it was at least 45-50 out, I was actually sweating.

We just joke around and make fun of North Face at school because it just seems like every single female is wearing one. But I honestly don't mind them because their products aren't ridiculous looking. Uggs on the otherhand, all bets are off. I see people wearing Uggs in the middle of the summer and honestly, wearing boots like that in ridiculous heat makes me questions a person's sanity.

UGGS have sheepskin linings which, when worn with barefeet, whisk away moisture and regulate body temperature.

I can't wear mine in very hot weather, but I find them extremely comfortable most of the year.

Another reason why I agree to get the boots, even though they were a little more than I wanted my parents to spend. They were half the price of Uggs, though. I can see where Uggs would be comfortable, but in a place with as much sleet, ice, snow, and rain as Kansas gets...just not practical as snow boots. I wanted boots that were comfy, warm, waterproof, with good traction, and that wouldn't be ruined by salty slush.

Especially on a college campus, you can't judge someone's wealth by their clothing. I have a few nice things, and they are almost all gifts, because my family knows I can't afford them. If some snotty undergrad had pulled that with me, there would have been a conversation about the dispersal of student fee money and the fact that there is NO travel fund for graduate students right now.
