PostPosted: Sun Feb 20, 2005 9:00 pm    Post subject: Buying clothes! Reply with quote

I have real problems buying clothes.

I always find it hard seeing myself in new types of clothing, so when I do buy something, its always pretty similar to what I've got already!

Most of the time I don't run the 'risk' of using changing rooms, I take my chances and hope it fits when I try it on at home. If it doesn't fit, I get someone else to take it back for me.

Does anyone have any advice or any similar experiences?

I select the clothes, my mum buys them, I'll try them on when I get home and mum'll return them if they don't fit. I don't mind trying new styles, as long as they're something I actually like.

i have a real problem buying clothes...the only clothes i have left are 6 pairs of underpants, so i wear 3 pairs at a time, using one pair as a t-shirt, one pair as a hat, and one pair as regular pants

then, when i have to wash them (which is quite often, i can tell you), i have my other 3 pairs ready to go

I hate any kind of shopping on my own which is a shame as I like shopping with others. Unless it involves waiting around womens shops while they change *shudder* I am slowly getting better, not much choice but NEVER on a saturday!!! Hell is a weekend highstreet Sad

It's my next target to be able to shop on my own. The thought of shopping for clothes on my own at the moment (sweating, blushing, shaking) oh my god..... Shocked

I a never used the fitting rooms ‘til I was like in my later teens. I just forced myself to go in there because I hate taking all those clothes back to the store and talking to someone while returning the object is much, much worst for me. It’s really not an anxiety provoking places if you think about it you get ur own little room to yourself. I do by a lot of the same clothes as well. I don’t think a man needs much variety...
