I hate clothes shopping!

[binka_nugget]

I love shopping for clothes! I rarely go to the mall anymore. I just shop at thrift stores. They always have the best stuff! I usually find more things that fit me at the thrift stores than at the mall. Whenever I go to the mall, I end up feeling fat and short lol.

It's funny to hear all of you complain about finding pants (and clothes in general) that fit short people. I'm 5'9", have a 34" inseam and have the exact same problem.

I don't enjoy shopping for clothes, especially pants/jeans. Tops/sweaters I can always pick out pretty much without even trying on, so I enjoy that more. I get very confused shopping for clothes and I hate that, I can never decide I will spend a half hour trying to decide on one thing. I love shopping, but for other things.

Hi my name is Carole and I am a shopaholic, I love shopping, but clothes shopping only when I am slim (which I am not at present) so now I HATE IT, everything is so cute and feminine right now, and I wish I could wear them again, ah well I am trying.

Gosh 39 dollars for pants, I would consider that a very good price here in NZ, not cheap , not expensive, and 45 for jeans also a good price.

I love shopping be it clothes shopping or just looking (Geez i AM a female ), i am addicted. I have problems with buying pants aswell as i am what you would call short here (5"6') and of mudium build. I can usualy pick up shirts from the boys/ youths section, but the pants dont fit me.

Before I got married I enjoyed clothes shopping I'm about 5'4" and used to weight between 125-130. Now that I'm married(happy weight) and pregnant (the beginnings of baby weight) I'm up to 150ish and can only fit into a size 13 juniors in certain brands like Mudd which cuts large. Thank heavens for low rise pants or who knows what size I'd be into with my little growing baby belly

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?

Those dang pants aren't made for the 6' tall women either! I get mad because my pants are always to short. I'm about 5'10 or 5'9. The only place that carries women's pants that fit me properly is Express or Gap and they are expensive. Whenever I find good fitting pants for a good price, I buy a pair in every color. I also cannot wait for this low rise style to pass. It is unflattering unless a girl is really skinny. I have wide hips, so even at my thinnest, they look horrible. And I am so tired of worrying about my buttcrack showing! Right now, I am pregnant, so my shopping troubles are even worse. Even the maternity clothes are running small these days. They seem to think it's cute for pregnant women to wear low rises and shorter shirts. I'm not a big fan of showing my belly.

Well they certainly are long on me! Some of the pants that I try on have an extra 1 ft on the bottom....serious! Yeah, I would understand how its hard to find pants for you too! My friend who is like 5'11" has a hard time finding pants too. Poor Ami! Well it doesn't seem to bother some people with the low-rise jeans if they are skinny or not! Then they make the pants for people who don't have hips, and supper skinny thighs. Sheesh!

And that's one of society's biggest problems.

lol...it REALLY bugs my mom when we are walking around the mall and shes like, "Why do all these girls wear these low-rise pants and short tops and they have a big tire hanging out?!?!" lol...

Boy, I'd like to know where you are shopping! I am just under six feet tall. I have a h**l of a time finding pants that are long enough! Cheap is out of the question. Not going to happen. Like Tonya, if I find something that fits, I buy every color or several pairs.

I shop at JCPenny, Sears, Old Navy, etc. I don't know they seem AWFULLY long on me!

Ah, see I have access to none of those places except through the Sears catalogue. I live in the boonies! I'll be checking out Old Navy next time I go South though! I do order the tall jeans from Sears sometimes. Some of their styles can be ordered with a 35" inseam, which fits me perfectly.

I get most of my long pants at JCPenney.
