Do you "enjoy" shopping for clothes/shoes?

[mgomes]

Just remember to post this to know how everybody feels about this. I personnally like to be well dressed but find going shopping to be a bearable experience at most.

How do you go about it?

I hate it more than anything else to be honest.

There are so many bad things for sale (at least in Atlanta) and for whatever reason I just can't imagine all these millions of individual items fitting into my wardrobe ("A blue blazer? When would I wear that?"). B&S, ebay, and some online stores I actually quite enjoy but going to the shops, much less so.

I love it. Which is why my bank accounts are ruined.

I enjoy it, but get easily frustrated...the whole time I think to myself, "I can get way better for way cheaper no the B&S forum"

Lately, I've been going 'shopping' just to get an idea of fit so that I can shop online.

I have always enjoyed it and bear the friuts as well. Because I don't mind popping in I have become friendly with SA's plus I stumble on steals/great deals all the time.

Can't stand it. The selection is always poor and there is rarely something I like and don't settle on.

I wouldn't say ruined, however they're a bit lower than I'd like. Perhaps I should compensate by packing lunches and cutting down on the booze...

I enjoy it immensely. Any feminine side I may have, comes out when its time to shoe/clothes shop.

then again, I like it because I'm usually searching for something in particular and enjoy the hunting/discovery process. And I do love to find deals.

It reminds me of my youth when I'd score Hollywood's record stores for $.99 demo versions of albums or cassettes. I could spend an entire day with a friend going through moby disc, bleekers, rhino, etc looking for that single tape.

occasionally I'd be rewarded. Capital records and others would sell their demo cuts or other non retail tapes/albums to these stores, and I'd be there to pick them up.

Finding a great tie or jacket on steep discount kind of feels the same to me.

I think its great.

I hate it but love it at the same time. I have grubbing for deals and praying for my size. However I love clothes so...

I really love clothes/shoe shopping. It's like going into an old-fashioned sweet shop with all these pretty & tasty things sitting there just waiting to be tried.

Not a big fan of shopping in stores. I'm a 40L so any time an SA asks me for my size I just want to tell them "I already know you don't have one in the store, don't waste your time pretending to go look for one". I rarely buy anything retail either so I always have the guilt of leaving the store without buying anything.

I wander around the store. See if I like anything. Chat with the pretty sales girl. Shouldn't I like that?

I enjoy shopping with my wife. Even when there's nothing remotely tempting to buy, it's still fun to look at new things and comment on them. I even enjoy looking at purses with her. But shopping by myself is something I do as a mere errand. I'll look around a store to see if there's anything I want, but I won't take much joy in the experience itself.

I don't really shop with other people. They wouldn't have patience for me.

I enjoy shopping with the wife as well. Especially for lingerie oriented goods.
