does anyone know any good websites where i can buy fairly cheap unusual clothes. i like to lean towards to punk side of fashion, but dont like following trends and wearing what every1 else wears "bcos its cool", im an individual+so want my clothes to reflect that.
i need a site that is preferable british and cheap, but sells unique tops and pants.
also, does anybody know of any good shops?? i live close to manchester and chester, and have been in Soho, stolen from ivors, etc. but i want somewhere new, please give ur suggestions!! thank you!

good luck in your quest of being oh so individual :thumb:
Aah, so you'd much rather follow a trend because it's "oh-so different", nice logic :thumb:
Of course you are, just like eeeveryone else :yeees:
thank you for replying. im going to go afflecks palace on sunday, bcos my b/f says its great+he wants to buy some new clothes too. cheers :thumb:
Does all sorts of clothing including more gothic/punky stuff and is in the UK.
i think you're right, although i think people can have quite an individual style. although in my experience, people who are truly individual never claim they are.
the most individual person i know was one of the girls i lived with last year, and she wouldn't describe herself as different or unique. in her mind she was just being herself, and doing/wearing/saying whatever she wanted.
:yes: anyone who descbibes themselves as individual is just trying to convince themselves. I cant be arsed to make my own clothes but i like to mix n match things and go to 2nd hand shops, i dont think my look is individual but you wouldnt see an outfit im wearing on a manikin in topshop

Some of the stuff on it looks quite easy to make yourself, too. Or at least gives you ideas.
For one, it's expensive as hell, and for two, NONE clothes in the black rose could be called even slightly 'individual'. If you want to be an individual, DON'T shop there!!!
Black rose, is for goths and goths alike, there's nothing different about the black rose, it's been the same for years and years.
I say try PUNKYFISH. They cater for people like you who need HELP with being 'different'. Grrrr. :mad: :rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes:

AND...you can buy that stuff in TopShop! How handy :P
yeah, thank you. i understand where you're all coming from, and fair enough i respect your opinions. thank you to all the websites every1's given me, im gonna be skint soon.
oh and kiezo, just for your information, im not 'trying' to be different bcos its cool, ive dressed the alt way since ive been about 9, and im 18 now. ive always been into my own individual style, or at least i try to.
I never said you were doing it 'cause it's cool, 'cause well, it's fucking not cool.
You said you were wanting to be individual, when in actual fact you're just following another trend.
Good luck with your clothes hunting anyway
