Brand identification (Blog #6)

              There are many brands i wear, some i wear more often than others. After writing this blog i noticed now something as simple as a brand and hold a huge impact on my life.Doc Martins And Jeffrey Campbells are my two favorite brands. Doc martins have been my favorite boot for a while, Ive been wearing them for 4 years now. When i first saw Doc Martins i fell in love. Although they were simple boots they had an unique shine to them. They are extremely sturdy and cute at the same time. I remember the first time i wore them to school and a random girl asked me "where u got those black timberlands from?" I was so confused at first but then i understood what she meant. A Lot of people in my school haven't seen them before.When i notice how many people didn't know what they were i loved them more. People started calling me Docs to tease me, i think its because i have big feet but it didn't really bother me. Docs made me feel different and i loved it. About 4 years after i have 5 pairs of Doc Martins. I have the low top (polka dot), 2 high tops (Green And Black) and one velvet one (Burgundy). Now i don't only use them for fashion but i wear certain Doc according to the occasion. I love moshing is docs because they are heavy duty but i also love wear my velvet low tops at nice events because they are more sophisticated. Doc Martins have made a impact on my life without me even noticing.
        Another brand i love id Jeffrey Campbell. Jeffrey was once an Olympic water polo player, he won 2 Silver Medals, 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles & in the summer of 1988 in Seoul, South Korea. Jeffrey Campbell is now known as the platform shoe god. Jeffrey makes the best looking platform shoes ever! He's so unique. He has a crazy style theta only real fashionistas can pull off. My first pair of Jeffrey Campbell's were for my sweet sixteen, after buying the $200 shoes my mom bickered at my for the rest of the day. Although i knew i would hear he complaining all day it didn't affect me, I was ensured that no one at my sweet sixteen would have them on... or even know what they are. Today I only have 2 pairs due to the price but hopefully I’ll have over 20 pairs by the age of 30. it so silly how we buy things to give us a little boost of happiness.
