I was having this talk the other day: I hate "high end" logo clothes and don't want to compete with people that showcase their logo clothes. The average clothing store is decent enough for me. I would buy clothes with no distinctive marks if I could find them. Just plain material and colors.

A significant portion of fashion is wearing fashion logos.
And fashion has supplanted function. Anecdata from just last week... My partner wanted some new running trainers. She went to a popular high-street store here in the UK called JD Sports and said to the assistant "I'm looking for some new running shoes". In a bizarre fit of honesty the lady said: "Sorry we don't really do running gear here, we sell more fashion items." I'm sure her manager would have been appalled to…

> JD Sports is the leading sneaker and sport fashion retailer. With many limited edition and exclusive design from adidas Originals and Nike.

And many others are just more expensive. I'm one of those $30 jeans people. An old girlfriend once convinced me to try on a pair of $200 jeans ("you don't have to buy them, just try them on"). I did it just to shut her up and looked at myself wearing $200 jeans in the mirror. Fit exactly the same, material seemed better quality, stitching was the same, etc. Yes, better. But definitely not $170 better. Then again, I t…
> I did it just to shut her up ...I assume you weren't surprised when she decided to change her status to your "old" girlfriend.

Which coworking space at you at out of curiosity? (If you're comfortable answering) I live in Kendall and am always on the lookout for decent ones that aren't the WeWork's.
I’m in West Palm, so might be too far for you. The “a bit above” comment was relatively speaking haha. But the space itself is called 1909.
