there is some truth to the jappy part…however, I know many many girls who went to Bnos Chava who although may wear brand names, but are the sweetest nicest girls you will ever meet!
Ralph Lauren is cheaper and more accessible in some states than others, so when I saw many NYers wearing them, i wondered if that was supposed to be “the style” but later found out that many NYers got them in Marshals for decent prices…while where i come from, Ralph Lauren shirts can be very pricey!
point is…you have to diffrentiate between the ones who wear expensive clothings and ones who have that “superior” attitude that they are better than others( unfort. there are those…)
From my experience, in the beginning of the year, everyone is into how they look BECAUSE you want to make a good impression on pp you just met. However, later in the year, I have actually heard teachers( from diff sems) complain that girls are walking around “shlumpy” lol because at that point, girls are comfortable with their sem and surrounding and dont feel the need to look top notch…
