I hate clothes shopping!

[Miranda_Rae]

Ok, this is a vent and I am also curious to see if other people hate it also! I went clothe shopping Friday and Saturday for some nice outfits for the dog show in Winnipeg. It was SO hard to find things that fit me. The pants are for people that are like 6 ft tall, and I am only 5'1", and I've noticed that there are a lot of teen girls that are short also. And, they make them for like super skinny people! We are not all 6 ft and 100 lbs ya know! My goodness! And the shirts are so low, and I don't want to flash the judge if I have to bend over! They also expensive! When I finally found some pants that fit me they were like 39 bucks! I am not poor, but I am not that rich! Sheeshh....needless to say I got them because I couldn't find anything else. So, ok thats my vent. So does any of this frustrating clothe shopping happen to you?

This is probably a stupid question, but
don't you have a petite section in your stores?
Their should be all sizes, just cut shorter in the
waist and length..
I do not like shopping either. I am a much better
window shopper.

I hate shopping, period. lol

I just hate that I have such a hard time finding clothes I actually like. I'm not into the bright or flashy clothes and each time I go shopping, I just come back feeling ugly and fat. Lol. I also hate having some salesperson in my face, lying and telling me it looks fine on me or just following me around bringing me anything to try on.

And I gotta agree, things can be ridiculously over-priced.

I don't know.. I guess it's not my thing.

I love shopping

I despise clothes shopping and always have, even when I was thin.

The petites are just a tad too short for me, but the regular lengths are long enough for my 6' tall husband. It's very frustrating.

And I'm at the age where I neither want to wear juniors or "old lady". It can be very irritating to find anything other than those two, at a decent price.

Oh my gosh...yes! That happens to me all the time too!

Yes, we have a petite section, but I don't like the pants in there because they don't have the flare, and I don't like them! They look like something my mom would wear! To me they aren't that comfortable because they have the waist like way over to your belly-button!

HATE clothes shopping!!! I get so annoyed, fumbling through the racks, trying to find my size. I'm 5 ft., 100 lbs and can never find what I want in my size at the store. Tons of size 10 and up (I'm talking petites) but only 1 or 2 choices in a size 2 or 4. And shoes are worse! I wear a size 5 and most stores will only order 1 or 2 of any style in that size. I've resorted to catalog shopping J Jill has a lot of great clothes in all sizes, including petites.

Oh my gosh girl! You are tiny! I wish I was that tiny! I'm 5'1" but I am not telling you my weight! Everyone tells me that I am small/slender/thin what have you, but ppppfffttt...whatever!

I like shopping! Well, sometimes I'm 5ft (another tiny person!) and about 105lbs, so it's hard to find jeans that aren't too long, or too big round the waist. It's fun trying though! Small shoes are easy to find round here I like shopping for unusual stuff, so it's always fun to look for interesting clothes, I enjoy it. Helping other people shop for clothes is boring though!

LOL! that explains it. I am probably your mom's
generation or older.

I love shopping, but I know what you mean. I always try on clothes that are waaaay too tight fitting on me. I'm not fat, but it is so tight that I can hardly breath! And I know what you mean by prices. I find a pair of jeans that I looooove... and then they are like $45! (and I'm not poor either) Why can't there be normal sizes with cheap prices? Just so you know, it's not just you, it happens to me and all of my friends too. But as for shopping, I love it!

Yes, that does explain it! Shes 40-ish (she would kill me if I told her real age ).

[Doggirl]

I love shopping, if I can find something that fits! I'm about 5'1 and 85ish pounds, so it's really hard to find something that doesn't slip off my hips completly! It's almost always difficult.

Dang you skinny people!

I love shopping.. it's always forking over the money that gets me though. I'm very frugal, so I won't even look at something that's outrageously priced. I'm not skinny, but I'm not obese. I'm like an 11 or something in Juniors - eh, I can't believe I just admitted that. Jeans are easy to find now because I know what I want. It's a certain brand that I want in a certain style. No, they don't all the look same, but they are all what I want! And shirts, pfth. I can't get any of those "cute" shirts because they are all are SO short! I have short legs but a long torso. So I've resulted in just plain ole tshirts... mostly free. What can I say, I love free. And long sleeve shirts. So I totally understand when you say you don't like it.. you just gotta learn the way to.

Gah, now I REALLY want to go shopping!!!

I hate clothes shopping too.... shopping for other things is fun though.
