My school makes me want to cry sometimes

I was doing my usual Fashion scan (the thing i do when i am bored in class or a public place where i check out what everyone is wearing and analize what i like and what i don't like) in class throughout today and i think i am going to cry. the precent that was wearing all Abercrombie/American Eagle/Hollister was like 89%. Alright... so i really don't have anything against those store's clothes (except that i don't own ANYTHING from any of them) because some of their clothes can be kinda cute but people need to use these popular chain stores IN MODERATION!!!! That is one of my biggest pet peves... head to toe american eagle or whatever. Now other chair stores like Gap and H&M you can were head to toe... with the right accecories ofcourse. the problem with all those preppy chains is that they are made up primarly of fake vintage (i think it is really tacky to fake vintage) and because these stores are so popular, multiple people usually end up wearing the same stuff on the same day (something i HATE!) and with fake vintage shirts like that (by fake vintage i mean those shirts that usually advertize wierd events like non-existint sunbathing competions on them that contain imature sexual refrences hidden in the writing) it is really noticable. with stores like Gap and H&M (also stores like Urban Outfitters but we don't have that near us :( !!!), they don't have alot of fake vintage (a bit but it isn't as bad) and most of their clothes are a bit more basic (more for Gap than H&M) so if you accidentaly wear something on the same day someone else does it isn't such a big deal. Also... my trick to never looking the same as everyone else.... Layers and Accesories. I layer EVERYTHING! all my fav. shirts and tanks from this summer can be placed over other shirts for a cute look no one else will have. i like Gap because they basicly have every color and every style or Tshirt and long sleeve shirt. Stock up on those, get some cute stuff from H&M, layer and you are good to go! Accesories really make an outfit but there is (sometimes) a such thing as too much. First you need to get a good original collection going on. I get most of my jewelry at Clares or some place like that... those are my trend places.... i get cute stuff that will go out of style in a few months so i don't lose a lot of money. for classic Jewelry... you have to options i like to call the 2 I's. 1) Invest. these babies last a while so it is worth the extra cash. i have a sterling silver charm bracelet and a Tiffany heart bracelet. Both are adorable and i can wear them forever 2) Inheret. alright you don't need to have someone die in the family to score some nice jewelry. most of my jewelry is from my grandmothers, my mom, and my aunts. i have 3 sets of pearls, two fresh water and one is ivory plus a strand of tiger eye and alot of other cool vintage bracelets, purses and scarves that you can't even buy today. so if you and your grandma are on good terms, show alittle intreast in the jewels and see what she doesn't need or wear anymore. Mix all these pieces and lots of cute basics and you got a great wardrobe! if only the other people in my school knew that!!! i have been rambling again... i would love some feedback if anyone reads this, expecially if you can relate!!
