Sometimes I buy shirts that are too big for me

[blackmage_nuke]

Because im getting more shirt for the same price
Is this crazy?

What things do you think about/consider when buying clothes?

[Rodarian]

Too be honest... its such a waste of money to do that.. Unless you end up wearing it as sleepwear. Buy your size appropriate clothing.


Or gift them to someone who will fit into it.

I buy large even though I am technically a medium. It is more comfortable that way.

I wear large so I get large. Any bigger and I feel like I'm wearing a dress. Sometimes I'll get a large and wash it and it's like 10x smaller. Shopping's for good clothes is such a pain in the ass.

I have to be conscious of the kind of frame it'll give me. I just tend not to look very good at all in teen trends sort of clothes, like short belly t-shirts and low-rise jeans. Those looks aren't forgiving and if you're not the target size for it, you end up looking fat. A lot of people don't care if their big stomachs are flopping out, but I do, so I'd rather dress myself different and look thinner.

I tend to go for things that are snug around my waist, because I have a very small waist, and it balances out the fact that I have wide hips. I have a really hard time dressing myself in blouses and tops because I feel like they all look bad on me, but I'm very good at finding really nicely fitting dresses that are slimming. Part of the reason why summer is such a better season!

If I am wearing casual blouse and jeans, I tend to do a kind of soft flattering camisole or tank-top, and I wear any number of the billion cardigans I own over it.

Buying clothes can be annoying sometimes, since I'm not an easy size 4. If I'm buying for pure fun, I'd rather shop for accessories or shoes. Headbands! Sunglasses!

I'm the same kind of shopper as Rye; I'm self-conscious of how the clothes will actually make me look. I like to buy shirts that don't hug my skinny torso because they make me look anorexic, and that's unattractive. I also never, ever buy skinny jeans because they make my legs look just awful. And not to mention that they're extremely uncomfortable and can cause nerve disorders. :O
It's also hard for me to fit into any size jeans because my waist is virtually non-existent. I hate having to wear belts 24/7. -_-

I always look for something strawberry!

[Breine]

Me shopping for clothes is much like this:

I find something I like, I look at the price, and if the price is reasonable I try it on.

I found a pair of bell-bottoms yesterday that were wonderful *_* I could see them with lots of embroidery and appliqué. . .!

However, my thighs did not fit t_t Everything else was fine but my fatty thighs ;_;

I have learned never to buy clothes intending to fit into them. So I put them back.

(but I did get a beautiful blue and white dress-- it looks like a china plate and makes me feel beaaaaaaaaaaautiful ^_~)

Over-sized shirts on girls are hot.

[Chris]

I don't waste away a lot of money on clothes I don't need. I only buy clothes if I really, really want it, or need it.

My closet is a pretty scary place for the unaware. I have at least ten outfits that are identical, and they're all layed out in advance.

[Rodarian]

I have two closets and a dresser that filled with clothing... All of them fit me as they should :P

[kotora]

I make sure my shirts are always tight around the pecs. M or L are usually just right.

Yes it is crazy
