Who likes clothes shopping? I hate it and would love my own personal shopper?

Asked by Jude (32198points) September 5th, 2011

5’2” and roughly 125lbs. Goal is to get to 120. I like my curves.

Really, I abhor clothes shopping. Help me pick out some cute outfits and dressy ones for work (online).

I’m serious.

yeah well shopping can suck because of the sizes and how its overpriced. Go to jc penney online or look up chico’s if you’ve got that kind of money.

I actually kind of like it. I like trying stuff on to make sure everything looks perfect before I buy it.

My ex boss had a personal shopper at a few of the shops at the mall that put things back for her and usually she liked what they picked out for her. She went to the mall every day though. Stores like NY & Co, JC Penney, Ann Loft, etc.

I hate it, I buy, take it home, and if it does not fit then I return it, I don’t try things on.

I love it!
I would probably like hunting too if I liked to cook.
I think you should buy a skirt suit in black and a blue-grey.Then you can mix and match everything.
Macy’s had them on sale too :)

I neither hate it nor love it. It’s just something I have to do once or twice a year. Doesn’t take that long. Just pick any big box store store, buy some casual shirts, buy a pair of jeans or two, a pair of khaki slacks or two for work, a few bags of new undies, and a bunch of bags of white socks (I hate sorting socks, so I buy all the same type of socks all at once each year). About a half-hour’s worth of shopping. Takes me longer to do my food shopping…

Jude's avatar

Ah, okay. Nikki and I will drag our dykey selves out to that mall this week and try on some pretty clothes. :)

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Jude Just do it! You will find something,I’m sure.There is a grey wool suit with a one button closure and shawl collar that is sharp. :)

I call it clothes hunting. Nothing kills a budget more than buying clothes and if any of you are like me I would rather starve than not wear nice clothes so to make things work you have to work the clothing sales. And believe it or not you can get great clothes at great prices if you take the time and effort to hunt down the bargains. Carson’s here I come locked and loaded!

@lucillelucillelucille Any interest in seeing Alison Krauss and Union Station this Thursday? We have an extra ticket. :)

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

It will depend if goodwill has had a recent spate of donations so there will be more of a chance something will fit. If so ,well then it’s on- outa my way.

I love shopping! It’s so much fun to put together fun outfits.

Then again, I really like to find unique and artsy stuff. It’s how I release my creativity.

Jude's avatar

@KateTheGreat For fun ;), find a me a cute (petite) outfit online.

KateTheGreat's avatar

@Jude Would you like an outfit more suitable for Autumn? What styles do you like?

Jude's avatar

Yes, Autumn. I like dressy/warm clothes. Pencil skirts. You know? Teacher stuff/borderline hot teacher outfits.

Ayesha's avatar

I love shopping! Although it can get hectic sometimes when you can’t find what you’re looking for.

KateTheGreat's avatar

I keep finding the cutest clothes for summertime, but not autumn! And I keep buying things! I am a monster.

This and This would be adorable together.

Jude's avatar

Kate, I love it how you come through for me. Thanks, girl. Nice choice. :)

KateTheGreat's avatar

You’re welcome. :)

I’ll post some more outfits as I find them.

HungryGuy's avatar

Someone find me an uber macho dungeon master outfit (not a costume out of a BDSM kink store, just out of plain clothes) :-p

KateTheGreat's avatar

@HungryGuy Here you go.

Oh wait, you said out of plain clothes…damn.

KateTheGreat's avatar

Oh @Jude, you’d look great in this.

Dressy, yet form fitting…and Autumn colors! :D

HungryGuy's avatar

@KateTheGreat – At least you didn’t show me a photo of her dress made out of meat :-p

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I love clothes and would love to help if I can.

Do you want pants suits outfits, skirt suits outfits, skirts separates?

marinelife's avatar

Hate it.

Especially hate going to malls.

KateTheGreat's avatar

Geez, maybe I should open a “personal shopper” business. Seems like enough people really hate shopping.

Jude's avatar

Speaking of clothes. A convo that I just had with my g/f:

Jen (to Nikki): I want you to get dressed up for Alison Krauss this Thursday’
Nikki: I’ll wear something nice.
Jen: I want you to dress like a hoochie Mama (laughs)
Nikki: Yeah, I’ll have my tits pushed up
Me: Tucked under your chin, right?
Nikki: What? Tuck in my chin? What, do I have a fat chin? haha
Jen: Tucked UNDER your chin, haha…
Nikki: Good, because I was going to punch you haha.

I don’t mind clothes shopping. However I am constantly disappointed by finding out that the only things I like are pretty much identical to the things I have already.
