Do You Buy Clothing With Text?

Kachina624 — Sat, 04 Dec 2021 17:30:18 GMT

I'm looking at the new Big Deal from Peace, World, Love. They might have sold me one but I'd never wear something with those trite, sentiments on it. I'd be embarrassed to wear them. In fact, I don't want any writing on my clothes. How about you?

I personally don't care for them. They read like a how-to book, but that's my interpretation.

No, absolutely NOT!

I won't even buy something that has any indicationof the logo / brand / label / designer visible.

Not into their Affirmations written on the outside of my clothes. I do get their concept as many people feel unloved, unwanted, unappreciated , demoralized, abandoned and a host of other negative feelings .

I can't remember if Oprah was promoting this line or Barefoot Dreams , but maybe Oprah wants the affirmations but I don't need the affirmations on my clothes nor her ridiculous prices . Maybe another way of boosting other's egos by including a card , or put the affirmation inside the clothes.

I like some of the styles and colors of this brand but there is no way I am going to wear something with those messages on them.

The only one I have with lettering is an orange with sparkly black lettering that says

"you say witch like it's a bad thing"

loved it so much I got one for my sister too. We wear it every Halloween as our costume.

A treasured find😄

On one Life is Good tee shirt. It has a palm tree and says Every Day is Saturday. Appropriate since I'm retired now.
I can't stand generic affirmations on clothes or home decor. So cliched and derivative. I have been in peoples homes that look like Hobby Lobby stores.
I especially dislike the so called Christian slogans like Grateful, thankful, blessed. I saw a shirt recently in a boutique that said Jesus, flannels and pumpkin spice. 🙁

For me, reducing one's supposedly Christian beliefs to mass produced slogans cheapens the value of that belief.
But doubtful that a shirt or sign saying "Born a sinner. Saved by grace, not by works" would be a big seller.

Me too! I've always disliked seeing women (usually young or teens) In Juicy couture pants with Juicy displayed in big letters across their butt. Tacky tacky IMO.

@Kachina624 No way!

Too bad the Peace, Love, World owner/vendor doesn't read this post. She'd be appalled at the number of potential sales she's losing. If you must have a message, put it where it's seen privately.

Possibly. I once saw a green sweatshirt with big letters that said:

BAH!

Humbug!

Re: Do You Buy Clothing With Text?

PhilaLady1 — Sat, 04 Dec 2021 18:36:35 GMT

If not for the sayings, I would have bought the sweatshirt, possibly even two. Big dislike for me. I heard the host say something about shining your light. I'm a person, not an electric eel. Pretty sure that human beings don't glow in the dark.
