Fashion

[wilma]

When I go out to shop I am alone 99% of the time.  I can get a lot accomplished when I am by myself, but sometimes it would be fun to have someone with me.  My DH, my 2 sisters, and all my friends hate shopping.  They have no interest in fashion or clothes other than the utilitarian aspect of it. 

I used to go shopping with my mom and aunt who both had a great sense of style.  We would shop and try things on and talk about them.  We always had a good time. Since they both passed away I haven't had anyone to talk with about my shopping for years so...

Thank you to all the readers and posters here for giving me an outlet to discuss fashion, style, clothes, etc.  I enjoy having your company as I shop, even if it is in spirit and not in person.

If I want to shop seriously, I am alone.  If I am with friends, we talk, look around, and eat, but don't accomplish much in terms of shopping.

I shop alone if I really want to seriously shop. If it's an outing type thing, then having a friend or friends along is fun. I seldom make a purchase if shopping with friends though.

I rarely go B&B shopping anymore, even though I live in a city of 50,000 that's a retail mecca of shopping and eateries.  I find everything I need online or with certain clothing lines that I like on a couple of the shopping channels.  When I was in my thirties I used to enjoy going shopping at the mall with a girlfriend, just for the fun of it.  But I also was hanging out with those girlfriends at the clubs in the evening!  Times have changed, I guess!

I shop alone 99% of the time.  I like shopping alone... no distractions... no talking ... just me and me. I am my own best friend..... other than my Golden Lola... she is nice because she never talks!

I'm in the camp of having to shop alone if I'm seriously shopping. Though sometimes with a girlfriend we start out together and separate. We then regroup, have lunch and go again. Works for us.

I always do, as I focus and concentrate better.

Plus I'm a born introvert.  ;-)

I have shopped alone for at yeast 45 years.   On the few occasions when I have taken a friend or neighbor with me, THEY always wanted to pick something out for me..............

"Alone" is a huge word in my life...has been for quite some time. I live, eat, shop, ...you get it...alone. Coming here to these forums is fun and informative. I learn a lot and I laugh a lot here. I'm happy to stay here. It's all good for me here.

I know what you mean about having someone to shop with!  In the past I would shop with my older sister!  She loved it also!  My younger sister never liked it at all!!  My older sister passed away a few years ago and I miss her so much because we clicked in every way and our shopping was one of our fun times together!!

I find so many of my friends don't like shopping and think if you like to shop you are a "shopaholic"  Wrong!!  But when I want to serious shop I do better alone although my sister and I did make purchases when we were together and we also had fun!!  Wish she was still here!
