Where do you shop for clothes? Budget or high end?
I will go first. I love Primark and Tk Maxx, i don't buy into those mid range places like AllSaints where everyone seems to go. I feel confident in whatever I am wearing so don't really care about trying to dress to impress day to day. Most of my day to day stuff is Primark and TK Maxx.
However, I have a love of high end places too. I have my lions share of items I like such as the Burberry tailored trench coat, my (so far) two pairs of Louboutins http://eu.christianlouboutin.com/uk_en/shop/men/rollerboy-spike-veau-velours.html . Every once in a while I go for a shop where I like to buy from a good designer, like a new Hilfiger jacket or something.

Definitely budget with the main place I get clothes from being eBay. I just don't see the point in paying more than you have to for clothes, obviously I don't just pick the cheapest item in the shop without considering whether I like it but I do set myself reasonable limits like £5 max for tops & shorts, £10 max for other bottoms & playsuits and £15 max for dresses/jumpsuits etc.

Budget! Primark and online shops.
High end - £60 pound a garment and over. But still high street.
I'm tall and slim, it's so hard to find things to fit decently so I have to pay more to get the quality.

opinion, those shoes are VILE and extortionate for £925 quid.

Sorry, I'm all about the label don't get me wrong! If I see something at £20, but then something similar but branded at £150 (tops - unless it was really nice) I'd buy the expensive one.
But nearly £1,000 for shoes that aren't even that nice, really?!
But at least you like them, that's all that matters
As a student I am on a budget but I find you can still get good quality if you shop smart. Most of my favourite clothes are from TK Maxx, Topshop, ASOS, Miss Selfridge etc which can sell things overpriced considering their quality but I tend to shop mostly in the sale. You can get nice basic stuff from Primark too, most of my socks and knickers are from there.
I don't tend to buy the on trend things because I find it a waste of money since it goes out of fashion so quickly and to be honest a lot of the fashionable stuff lately hasn't been my style such as the whole American university 'GEEK' tops and all that.
My most expensive items are probably my winter boots, coats and my Cambridge satchel backpack.
One of my biggest concerns when clothes shopping is actually the materials used and how the garment feels. I can even usually tell the makeup just by feeling it before i read the label! I hate how most tops and dresses are made from that rough-feeling polyester, eurghh.
I'm not really brand conscious and I find it incredibly tacky when the designers name s plastered across your chest like a walking billboard, superdry I'm looking at you.
These are my last purchases in the past week:
