I suck at shopping for clothes

Post Reply New Topic

I've bought jeans on eBay. I look for sellers who provide measurements of the clothes they sell.
There are folks who go to thrift stores, buy the good stuff, and resell it on eBay.
Yesterday was 30% off at Savers. I bought a rusty old golf club for $3 that would sell for $50 on eBay.
It is supposed to be rusty.

I like reworked gear me

I've got a really good reworked Carhartt bomber jacket for the colder days ahead

I got a couple of interesting 60's shirts at a thrift shop years ago.

I love the thrift shops me

I can't do clothes shopping online, I need to actually be there and feel the clothes and hold them against me or try them on before purchasing them. Most women prefer this. But I live in fear of clothes shops becoming obsolete which will force everyone to have to shop for clothes online whether they like it or not, and life wouldn't be worth living. Same with shoes. I mean, supposing you need a pair of shoes pronto, and you order them online but find they don't fit properly or whatever, so you've got to send them back, which some online retailers make so difficult to claim refunds, and then you've got to order another pair and they don't fit right, and so on. It's just so much easier to be able to walk into a shoe shop, look at and feel different shoes, try them on, walk for a bit in them, and go over to the till and buy them.

Don't you mean charity shops?

Yeah I know
I'm just trying out my American accent

Yeah, it's easier to just speak American online sometimes.

I didn't do it for that

I've decided to take myself off clothes shopping on Friday
I know what I want so I should be in and out in a flash

I wish I hadn't bothered going clothes shopping today

absolutely nothing appeals to me

A pair of trainers actually and it said 50 quid on the shelf and I was about to try them on and I asked the guy if they are 50 quid but they were 62 so I told them to stuff it

I would have got them at 62 if it had said 62 on the shelf
So I'm actually sulking believe it or not

I should have got the bus into Manchester instead of staying local

How anybody manages to buy anything from tkmax is beyond me

You've got to have some kind of special sifting skill for that shop

Same. Especially if you are a plus size woman like me. I think shoes and pants are the most difficult items to shop for.

When shopping for clothes, I had been sticking to the same style for the last 7-8 years and makes choices in buying clothes easier.

I've always been really bad at shopping. There are too many things to think about, both ethical, comfort, difficulty chosing and overload in stores. Also I can't do well with fashion changes and cheap fast fashion materials.

My favourite clothes are worn out, some clothes I keep for more than 10 years. I try to learn to spend a bit more on some comfortable materials and also second hand clothes when I can. I don't really buy anything more than once every 2 years or less. But I want to learn to wear different clothes.

Oh man. I'm a bit tight with my money so I'm constantly on the hunt for a bargain of the highest quality

I think this is why I struggle so much

I'm going into Manchester tomorrow

I'll let you know of the outcome

I've been told that my sizes are sample sizes so I can easily find just about anything I want to buy.
Size 2 tops and bottoms and size 7 shoes!

I find it easy to find high quality clothes in my size, now that I buy clothes marketed to women.
They seem to offer plenty of XS clothes on sale!

Is it accurate to call XS tops and bottoms women's clothes if hardly any women fit in them?
