Then again, frilly things don't work too well with power tools, do they?
Well, the only time I really like to shop is when its someone else's moneyOriginally Posted by kittylover4ever
I'm pretty strange then Katie...........although I do enjoy shoppnig but not window shopping.......that's depressing. I only like to shop when I can buy.......but the rest is me!
Clothes shopping is the worst!!Originally Posted by Epona
I detest shopping. I have to be dragged out of the house to go buy jeans when my old pairs are falling apart. No exaggeration, I hate it that much. Apart from book shopping, if I've got money I like shopping for books.
that's about me too! a pair of tennis shoes, black chunky shoes, and these ugly little pair of blue slip-onsOriginally Posted by lisasha3

My poor mother gets so disgusted though because she loves to shop and just doesn't get why I don't.

Walmart is my store, I can wander around there for a bitOriginally Posted by ckatz
I also hate clothes shopping. I thought I was the only woman who doesn't view shopping as a recreational sport. I do love shoes tho- I know it's odd. My favorite shopping is at Home Depot or Loews. I can always find some new project for my house.
I'm with ya on the hair thing Mirinae! I have long wavy hair and could probably make it look awesome, but its up in a ponytail or twisted with a jaw clip everydayOriginally Posted by Mirinae
I hate shopping, too! (Unless it's for something fun, like a new computer game or a book or some kind of techie gadget like an iPod.) I do have a bunch of shoes, though: I have short, wide feet, so when I find a pair of shoes that fit me well and comfortably, I buy them on the spot (sometimes in a variety of colours) and never let them go. I have sandals that are literally falling apart and leaving pieces behind, but because they fit me, I can't bring myself to throw them away.
I don't wear make-up, partly because most kinds make my skin break-out terribly, and partly because I honestly have no clue what to do with the stuff! I also skipped out on the girly lessons where they teach you how to do fun stuff with your hair: my hair is down to my butt, it's thick and curly, and in theory you could make it do pretty much whatever you want it to do, but I don't know how! The most I do with it is a sloppy knot, or a bun, or a ponytail, or sometimes when I'm feeling cute I'll put it in braided pigtails. That's it.
I do wear skirts, occasionally, but it's mostly out of sheer laziness: slip it on, throw on a top, and you're done. Pantyhose makes my skin crawl, though, so it has to be a pretty special occasion before I'll get that dressy. I own one dress (purchased for a summer wedding), but I have a ton of cute skirts and sarongs. I tend to just buy them without thinking of whether or not I have anything to match them, and I pretty much never throw them out or give them away -- even gaining/losing weight, I find skirts/sarongs can be extremely forgiving. Thank goodness.
Thank goodness my office is ultra-casual.... jeans everyday for me!!!Originally Posted by eilcon
I with you, Katie. Hate shopping unless absolutely necessary, have just a few pairs of shoes I wear all the time and have no use for skirts, but have to wear them more often than I'd like for work.
internet shopping is extremely dangerous for me!! I basically get al lmy clothes as hand-me-downs from my Mom and sister- who love to shop and don't wera half the stuff they buyOriginally Posted by peachytoday
I cannot stand clothes shopping. I make my husband go with me when I need clothes. I make him scout out my size in the basic colors, black, blue, tan and brown and bring to me to try on. When I find something that fits I buy several to last awhile and then we go. Takes half the time. Lucky for hubby I do this about once a year. Now I can browse the internet cooking sites and book stores and ebay for hours looking for a bargain.

You just described me. Well, actually I can remember the last time I wore a skirt - August 12 - to a wedding! But it's quite infrequent, and the rest is spot on. Nice to know I'm not alone.Originally Posted by katiemae1277

HMmmmm.....multi-quote is NOT working for me...Originally Posted by gemlady
Over here!Gave up skirts/dresses in high school (except for the rare formal occasion). Most of my shoes are flip-flops. When I need good shoes I get SAS - and since they are expensive they have to last me 3 years.
I need a new pair of shoes soon. Just haven't had the energy to go get them. I guess I could order online, but I like to try shoes on to make sure they fit right.
My little sister is a TOTAL girly-girl!!! never leaves the house without doing her hair and the full complement of makeup.... and pink is her fave color!!Originally Posted by gemlady
My Mom shakes her head because my sis and I are so different. She was the more "girly" one who delighted in frilly panties as a child. I preferred plain cotton briefs.
And being dark haired with a dark complexion, my Mom loved dressing me in pink frilly things. Even as a baby I revolted against pink frills!
