Yes it's true, I have a hard time spending money on clothes. I've never been a big shopper, but there are times, like when I go in my closet and can't find anything to wear or am going on vacation and just want something new, that I'll venture to the mall, but for the most part it's not something I do.
If I do find myself shopping, this is where my spt comes in, I loath spending top dollar for clothing. I don't own designer jeans, though it would probably be smart since I wear jeans all the time, because I just can't seemed to get passed the price tag. I try not to go into stores like Nordstrom unless I'm looking for something specific. Logic would tell me if I spend money on clothes they will last me a long time, true for jeans, but clothes go out of style so quickly that I'm better off spending $15/$20 on a trendy shirt, wearing if for one season, and feeling ok about the fact that it's falling apart.
Of course there are those times when I find a piece of clothing I love so much the price tag doesn't even matter or find an item considered as a wardrobe staple (ie..black pants or a white tailored shirt), and yes, for those types of situations I will usually splurge, but normally I look for bargains.
Finding a bargain on a shirt and still feeling cute...well how can you beat that? Ok you can, but you know what I mean.

I hate spending money on clothes too. I usually am hoping that by the next season I wear it, it won't fit so I don't like to spend a lot of money on them!
you are definitely my kind of shopper!
I have a decent amount of clothes that is for sure.. but I am a bargin shopper. I love a good deal. But I really don't like clothes shopping either. I hate trying to find things that fit "just right"...
Interesting! I love shopping for clothes, but not so much now that I don't look cute in clothes. If I looked like you, I would be unstoppable. I do love bargains, though.
I rarely will spend more than $20 on any piece of clothing, but I think if I found jeans I love, I would consider spending more.I would love to find the perfect pair.
I'm not fond of buying clothes either, Amy. But you're right, a bargain find is one nice feeling.
I never buy anything that's not on sale. But, like Michelle, if I had your body - I might change my mind!
P.S. You ALWAYS look cute. Really.
I love to buy clothes, but I hate the price tag. That's why my closet is so bare. I wish I had money to blow because if I did I'd buy clothes! I too love a great bargain. I try not to buy anything at full price.
crap- can you send some of that thinking to me? I LOVE shopping and I don't mind buying designer. I actually LOVE buying designer.
I am just the same. Its really hard for me to spend money, even though I had expensive taste. I am much more likely to try the real thing on in the store then try to score it on ebay! So bad. But actually, I am making it my goal to really buy pieces for longevity. So for my birthday I am buying a new wardrobe and I am not going to get it all at H&M. Quality over Quantity is the name of the game!
I love bargain hunting so much better than regular old shopping.
I will spend money on clothes from Target, Old Navy, H & M and DownEast. I don't feel so guilty because it's inexpensive..and when it goes out of style or falls apart I didn't spend too much!
But, sometimes I like to go to the very back of the Anthropologie store...just to look.
Very cool shot.
ditto michelle
same here! seriously, hate it. i too wonder about the jeans though. i wear them nearly every day.
I don't really care for shopping either and rarely if ever buy something not on sale. If I knew what I looked good in, or had your body(!) I might change my tune. I just am clueless.
You always look pretty cute- so whatever you are doing is working!
