>- Things you always buy brand
There are no things were I would say that I would *always* buy brand.
Although it's more because I am a busty girl, and many things do not fit me; especially because I am into Classic, and MM, VM and JetJ will never ever fit my bust. Dat feeling... I am losing weight and hope to fit more skirts, but we were just not really meant for each other. So Taobao, Indie and Innocent Wolrd Size L it is.

I generally like brand clothes more. My first dress was from Baby, and from then on, I was never looking back. I had a few BL dreses, and sold them all because they just couldn't hold up the the standard I expected from Lolita fashion. I have some nice taobao pieces though. Inside of me is a raging brand whore, I admit. I even bought some brand jewellery and ribbons flower clips just because they were burando. I am currently looking for a brand parasol that isn't too expensive, and just bought a burando bracelet for the matching necklace I already own.

>- Things you will never buy brand
Shoes, because I know I will never fit them. Same with tights, I am just too tall and my legs too chubby. I wouldn't buy a petticaot, but I just reserved the IW chiffon underskirt Petti. B-but only because of the underskirt! I also tend to buy most of my accessoires offbrand nonetheless.

>- General brand vs. offbrand discussion
I usually prefer brand when it comes to clothes; but if I see a nice quality offbrand item, I won't pass on it because it does not have a brand tag. Accessoires and shoes I prefer offbrand mostly, but having a few pieces feels nice. You can add them to your normalfag clothes and still have a little Lolita feeling.

I don't mind offbrand at all, but I hate the attitude some people, especially newbies and fatties, develope regrding brands. "evil and expensive!!", "Why does burando not make skirts for my 140cm waist?? ;_;", "Once you're over a size 10 you will never fit brand!", "Elitist brandwhores!!!" and shit like that.
