shirts
Please, someone tell me you have a similar problem...
Kyann and I were about to set out to do some shopping today, but when I found out that we might be going to Old Navy I had to change my clothes. You see, I don't like to shop at Old Navy if I'm wearing an Old Navy shirt. Weird, I know. And, I don't even own any shirts that actually say "old navy" on them, but they have that distinctive ON style.
Maybe it's because I don't want the sales people to think I stole it. Maybe I don't want to buy a shirt, while wearing the same shirt only in a different color. Or perhaps, I don't want too seem like I'm some guy who's obsessed with Old Navy. I don't know, man. I just feel weird about it.
And since we have work uniforms, it's not like I'm even buying that many shirts there, just the occasional $5 graphic tees. But, sure enough - I'm always wearing a stupid Old Navy shirt every time we're about to go there, so I have to change.
Am I alone on this one?
[Of course this is the opposite of the "Gap Rule", that was explained to me when I was a dork in high school. Back then, it was verboten for socially awkward teens to shop at the Gap if you weren't wearing any Gap clothes - which was just ridiculous.]

I'm the same way. One day we unexpectedly stopped by Old Navy and I was wearing not only a T-shit but also a pair of shorts. I felt very Uncomfortable the whole time we were in there. Like you said "the guy that's obsessed with old Navy."
And then last week we unexpectedly stopped by Ikea and I was wearing a bedroom set. Awkward.
Must be tought to get that First Gap Shirt. :)
Exactly!
You are not alone. I do own a lot of Old Navy, Im not obssessed, I like it. The only time I'm uncomfortable about wearing Old Navy is... when I'm shopping at Old Navy.
I'm in the same boat Bamf. Probably 3/4 of my wardrobe consists of Old Navy and Gap clothes. When I realized that I was like "Damn, I need to find a new place to shop." My "nicer" clothes are all primarily Express though.
