I'm always amazed at clothes buyers too. I look at my daughter's floor and it's covered in clothes. She's always finding something new. Something on sale.

I have a closet full of clothes. I'm constantly getting rid of clothes I've outworn, they are too worn to wear to work, so I toss them out or give them away. Then I buy new clothes in the fall/winter- in summer I'll buy some more. I don't always make good choices. Sometimes I'll buy something I believe to be a hideously low price for the quality even though there's some odd quirk to it. I might find myself disappointed after awhile for making that kind of a purchase.

Sometimes I'll find the perfect item. Great looking (well, in my taste) comfortable, affordable, washable without being made of ugly fabric. I'll be so happy- it's disgusting how I can be made happy buying clothes. Not very spiritually inclined I guess.

I get sad thinking about all these clothing retailers going out of business because noone will buy their hideous clothes under their florescent lighting in the mall at those prices they want. What a joke! So maybe it's right that they fail. It's just, how much do these retailers play into the U.S. economy? If our future depends on these businesses, I'm only now becoming aware, then we aren't in good hands.



That's about it.

yea, don't know....

They bought a million dollar home in this new development about 20 miles from me. Honestly don't know how they do it. I don't spend money on crazy things like expensive clothes. I spend money on vacations...my downfall

No Watermark, it's not disgusting to be happy buying new clothes that make you feel good. We all need a boast to make us happy. That's a good thing.

You don't think so? Sometimes I want to become a sect member or part of a clan so I can have someone telling me it's ok to wear the same thing everyday. I'd like to wake up in the morn and put on the same (clean) gown or whatever I wore the day before and not have to consider ever again about buying clothes.

I know what you mean. I am also amazed at the amount of clothes some people actually buy. I used to know a friend who bought clothes everyday ( yes...you heard me right... every single day !) . She was quite well dressed but I have no idea how she found the space in her house to put all of her clothes in.

I admit that I do have more than enough clothes to wear right now but when I find a real bargain ( very cheap clothing), I can't help but buying it even though I don't really need it. I have lots of clothes that I bought that I haven't actually worn yet but when I do start wearing it, I wear that piece quite often ( that'sa just the way I am.)

I don't know many men who love to shop for clothes but I do know a lot of women who love clothes shopping.
