Re: When you go shopping...
I never ticked any boxes
I am very fortunate that my best friend owns a boutique, I always shop there and most the times when the shop is closed so I have the whole place to myself she would never never let me walk out in something that didn't look good
I also shop at a certain place here where I live, I trust the sales women there as I am a shopaholic they now me well even ring when they get something in they will no I love they to would never sell me something that looked awful on me
I never take my daughters opinions into consideration as they think in there own age group and our taste are not the same, As for taking Hubby
he would make me buy overalls and gumboots
I love shopping for clothes with passion

Re: When you go shopping...
I go on my own simply beacuse I hate shopping for myself, I get flusted and don't want to put that onto anyone else. If I don't think something looks good on me I won't get it and I hate it when shop ass' tell you that "it looks great on you, just you colour" just to get a sale..all of 17 and trained resonably well..

Re: When you go shopping...
I shop on my own and hope its not my eyes playing tricks on me when I think I look ok.
I've never asked for the sales assistants advice.. most are just trying to make a sale so they will say you look good no mattter what!!

Re: When you go shopping...
After looking at the poll answers and there was no place for.....I shop alone!!! I started to worry, am I the only one....but phweee no I am not there are lots of you who like to shop alone. Actually the worse person to shop for clothes with is my DH...yes he tries on everything in the store...every store in the centre and then we go home empty handed...I kid you not.

Re: When you go shopping...
I always take my sister. Whenever we make time for ourselves, maybe 1 every 2 months, we go and hit the shops. She is always honest, and I am the same with her.
