Where do you shop for clothes and stuff? I'll shop wherever I can find stuff that fits(basically anywhere). I love makeup so sephora is my favorite store.

Wal-Mart and thrift stores.

It's a combination of finding things big enough, cheap enough, and I'd kinda like things to be unique.

I like thrift stores although sometimes I don't have the patience. A lot of my clothes come from Loehmann's (I think they have them on the East and West coasts, US?) and also Target.

I spend most of my money on makeup (another sephora lover here!) food, and books (borders/amazon) so I shop wherever's cheapest.. Thrift stores, forever21, old navy, target. I wear variations on the same thing every day (black top, blue jeans) anyway so I don't buy clothes until they get holes haha

I like thrift stores best. I also buy kids' T-shirts from regular shops.

Target, Supre, Jay-Jays, Dotti, Crossroads, Surfwear shops, Valley Girl, Ice Designs

Will occasionally go to places like Sportsgirl when there's something I can't deny buying.

There's not much places to shop in my town. Everyone has no choice but to be a boganista :P

I hate shopping more than anything else...

so growing up, my mom would buy things from wherever and I'd try on at home, and she'd bring back....

and my grandma is one of those bargain hunters, so would buy a ! !!!TON!! !! ! (lemme emphasize this a bit more... she has so much that she's bought that there are garabage bags full of clothing in her bathtub she has to take out everyday in order to take a bath, then puts back in.... and her bed is filled to a 5' pile on top of clothing bags that she moves off and on... and my mom's old room is stacked to the ceiling.... get the picture? <.<) of things on sale, then try to give it to me and my cousins... so I got to pick and choose out of that what I liked...


...meaning about 90% of my clothing my mom and grandma got me >.> (considering I moved out about 3-4 years ago... most of it is rather old xD) but I'll pick up something when I see it if I need... like target, go there for appliances or whatever, and see some tanktops (theres this brand mossimo that I like a lot)... so I'll just grab like 5 since usually on sale, and there ya go! good for a year! and usually grab a pack of underwear in a package too (...although I can never remember what size I am, and never seem to be wearing one w/ a size label on it at the time, so now I have a variance from like size 5 to 9... whoops <.< XD)

shoes... UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH X___________X;;; horrible, shoe shopping is worse than clothing shopping! (but bra shopping is worse than both) wearing the same sneakers since 10th grade... (so um.... 6-7 years ago... yeah I know, I should get better ones but ugh, hate shopping)... my sandals finally broke after a few years, so last time my mom came up we went to a shoe wearhouse and she kindly bought me TWO shoes! \(^^)/ which I like... 1 are the birkenstock sandals that everyone thinks are hideous but they're comfy and easy so wear them, and the others are some pretty fancier sandals that I like (suprisingly, its very rare... xD) unfortunately a strap is breaking on it.... T___T *shouldfindashoerepairertofixit*) then work needed steel toed boots/shoes, so found some at walmart... and yeah all I've been wearing for last 3 years~ XD

bras........... UGH khols I guess... recently got a few more... not one single one fits right, but my hate for bra shopping is greater than the daily discomfort...

pants......... again, made mommy help me find those for work, think we went to khols and old navy... I recently saw this really cute dinosaur shirt in this random store in the mall, and then another cute shirt and wanted to try them on, and lady told me if I tired on a pair of jeans I'd get 10 dollars off, so tried on the jeans foudn a pair that actually fit and look alright, and ended up getting them... since only had 1 pair before and need for work .____.;;;

skirtssssssssssssssss all my skirts are years old, but mostly from khols and grandma xD

shirts... same thing, except for the tank tops I get every now and then from kohls (and the awesome t-shirts with cutenesses I found from an anime convetiona nd friend gave me for birthday...)

makeup... don't have any xD probably would get at supermarket if I were to get any >.>
jewerly... kohls has some pretty cheap jewlery that actually looks pretty good (I used to be allergic to non-silver stuff, but seemed to have forced my body to obey xD or maybe they got better with their anti-allergetic stuff)


.............suffice to say, I only have about 2 laundry loads of clothing.... xD






all my money goes towards books and food and books... and books... and now thinking of putting it towards insanely cute things from zazzle.com xD





...I forced myself to go into hot topic today (I love those super-goth chain jiggly pants.... and friend convienced me... but alas 60 dollars is WAY TOO MUCH to spend on an artical of clothing.... then went into express because there was this realllllly reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllly nice shirt............ ...guys s**t..... that was so nice.... saw some guy sitting near me in library last semester wearing one and I was just staring at him brooding over that shirt for about 40 minutes (he was asleep <.<... *evensnuckapictureofit*) so saw it at express today and so wanted it... but 60 dollars!! !! !! >_<! WHY MUST NICE CLOTHING BE EXPENSIVE?! !! ! )

I rarely dress up and then purely for punitive occasions such as work events or parties. So, mostly I shop in the 'extra baggy, comfy, slouchy' part of the men's department (I am female), and keep a few basic black formal pieces for the social torture sessions.

I tend to shop in the normal clothes stores we have in my town, I don't live in the biggest town ever, so theres a limited amount of places. If I can't find anything there, there is a local store close to my moms where I go, and where the clothes are pretty cheap, you get alot of clothes for your money, and the shopowner understands and respects the fact that I prefer black clothing.
They are quite nice there and wont mind when you ask for help, where as in the town itself I find the girls who work there can be a bit rude and alot of the times they are too busy to properly help.
Sometimes if I go to the bigger supermarkets I can be fortunate to find a t-shirt or so that I like.
The only thing I specificly get from one store is my brah's, because they usually have to get imported from the U.S because I use quite a large size (without being too overweight) and I need something that does the job right to minimize backpain.

Thrift and Walmart.

Sometimes I'll check out Clearances in places like malls and some big chain outlets.

I avoid going to the mall as much as possible. It's just not my thing, & the local ones are over crowded with people, & noise. I am easily overwhelmed. Most of the time, I shop at Target, or Kohl's (if I absolutely have to). I hate the layout of the store...plus it's often crowded so I can't get to stuff I want to see easily (people &/or product blocks the displays). I prefer not having to deal with crowds of people or crowded aisles. Also, I don't like having to shop in places where clothes are thrown everywhere. Doesn't anyone know how to put stuff back where they got it?

Fabric and quality of make are my obsessions......Country Road, Myer, French Connection and so on.
