I like shopping for clothes, but it is not a hobby for me and I dont buy everything what catches my eye. I prefer to go for it at the same department store, where is a good choice of clothes to pick from and to find a good deal. It is pleasure for me to spend some time such a way,trying on different things to choose the best item, and to see then how much good I look in it :)

shopping is not my hobby, i dont feel like i have to do it too often. But most of the time it took hours if i did that. Compared the model, the trend, the size, the price, the mix match with other accessories. Went shopping with friends would need more more time since we would ask each other about the things we bought or tried on

I am a college student. I hang out with my friends on the street after school everyday, so I can buy new clothes at that time. If you want to buy modest clothing like me then you can. Thanks anyway.

SHOPPING COULD BE A HOBBY ESPECIALLY 4 WEMEN.BUT SOME PEOPLE SHOP TO DROP AND BUY EVERY THING ON IMPULSE.THEY DONT CONSIDER THE BOUNDARY OD THEIR BUDGET.


IT CAN LEAD TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AMD COULD RUN THEM INTO DEBT


BUT SHOPPING IS A WAY TO RELIVING STRESS.SHOPPING IS FUN AND I LIKE IT,I TRY TO BUY WHAT I WANT BUT NOT ON IMPULSE

From my prospictive I don’t think that someone can hate shopping.
About me I’d rather to be in balance with shopping.

I think I’m shopaholic. I need to go shopping several times a month or I feel an empty inside. I can’t stop buying girl things and many things. It makes me feel good to dress up.


My mem is mad at me because I’m wasting my money, but I can’t stop my habit.


If I can’t find and affort to buy what I want, I get nervous!

I am like Ella, I like shopping (i am not a shopaholic) but I don’t like either trying on clothes or being with such a huge nervous crowd in sales, that’s why I prefer to buy jewlery instead of clothes haha


I also sometimes buy clothes on the Internet, but I do it always in the same web, that’s easier for me because I’ve already known the size that fits me best and I usually hit on them!

I go to shopping about 4 times a year.  I don’t much care about good deal. I just buy what I really like. Basically I buy the clothes with good quality, simple, and classic.  I buy many clothes at once and try them on, see if they are in good combination and fit me. I only visit couple stores, like J. Crew or Arie. It saves my time and money.

kotlesya, we were joking but I have to admit that this thing made me laughing too! anyway, it may be not so simple to live in a place were are – 25 degree in the summer and – 90 in the winner. In italy (north Italy), in this moment there are more or less + 7 degree and I’m going on complaining and waiting summer!

“I brush  my teeth with a bottle of whiskey.when it gets unbearably cold…” – I was laughing “to the tears”. What a luxury you have got in Antarctica, that you can afford yourself to use whiskey instead of water!!!!!! :)))) It is a good idea anyway!!!! Try to use vodka ( it is cheaper and you will get even the better result to get warm :))))). Samogon (is the traditional Russian spirits) is cheapier than vodka and I hope it would brush theeth to the colour, that would be whiter than the most white Icebergs around you. :))))))))))))))

My next answer to Julito :) “Kotleysa,  Just curious, when you  come back home with your  new wardrobe ,what is the first think that your husband  asks you : how did it go  or how much did you spend on it ?” – it is a paradox, but my husband NEVER asks me what the cost of the new clothes. Do you know why he never asks about that??? Because he perfectly knows that I NEVER spend money without a thought of a future living of my family. He always calm about it, because there is no damage from my rare purchases for the family budget.
