However, I can neutralise 3 months of going to the mall without buying anything with one day of shopping. :) You are my new mentor! :)Just Thinking Out Loud!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08665811077980834437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1144176922289882592006-04-04T14:55:00.000-04:002006-04-04T14:55:00.000-04:00This blog is great.

I've gone twice, fought my way into a parking space, wandered through the store, and left disappointed. <BR/><BR/>I can definitely relate to shopping paralysis. I can usually get myself out of it by saying "I need this for work" or buying a gift for someone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1144157036925537042006-04-04T09:23:00.000-04:002006-04-04T09:23:00.000-04:00I used to blow money like it was nothing at the ma...I used to blow money like it was nothing at the mall. I think it's a mindset you need to have, because I'm exactly the same way now. <BR/><BR/>Of course, in the past, once I went to the mall I was already committed to buying SOMETHING. Now I go and it's all just overpriced clothing and not really what I need/want/find flattering etc. <BR/><BR/>Mall fashion is on its own plane of existence and I prefer standalone clothing retail if I'm going to shop (like Target or H&M).Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948263218792242575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1144152474237189402006-04-04T08:07:00.000-04:002006-04-04T08:07:00.000-04:00faint*::regaining my conscious::*thinking* Did she...faint*<BR/><BR/>::regaining my conscious::<BR/><BR/>*thinking* Did she say "mall induced paralysis?"<BR/><BR/>Ok first I have to LMAO, but my brain is screaming "oh lawd, please say it aint soooo!!" You went to a mall - not just ANY mall, but a swanky one - and you didn't buy anything? Nada? Zilch? Nothing? No shoes? Eearrings? Makeup? Shoot, not even a belt? Nothing??<BR/><BR/>See, I might have to revoke some of your fabulous points now cuz that's a serious violation!

Despite all this, she rarely buys something (or lets me buy it for her). I'd say her try-on-to-buy ratio is about 200:1. But when she does buy clothes, she always goes for a good combination of price and quality.<BR/><BR/>Me, I try on and buy a new shirt and pair of pants every five years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1144119408692763612006-04-03T22:56:00.000-04:002006-04-03T22:56:00.000-04:00This is the reason I do so much of my shopping onl...This is the reason I do so much of my shopping online these days.
