OT: I hate shopping!!!

You know, I was really looking forward to buying some new clothes for our trip to Colorado in June, but now I am not so sure.  I haven't bought much while I am losing and have been fortunate to have some clothes given to me to tide me over.

But my in-laws haven't seen me since before surgery and I have been saving up to buy some cute clothes before I go up there.

Problem is - I don't LIKE any of the styles right now.  I can finally fit into regular clothes and I don't want them!  I don't like jeans that don't come to my waist.  I don't like the loud, gaudy prints of the fabrics.  And I swear I spent 2 hours on the Internet trying to find some shorts with pleated fronts but because they "aren't in style" nobody has them!  I even tried LL Bean, figuring they wouldn't be "trendy".  grrrr..........  

Well, at least I can find some cute sandals to go with a sundress - even if I don't like the fabric LOL.

  Thanks, Julie !!!!

I love Lands' End clothes - I don't know why I didn't think to look there.

If you don't want to mail order, if you have a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops locally, they may have some as well, although they may be a little more utilitarian than you're looking for. I know I bought a couple pairs on clearance last summer at Cabela's.

Hey Teena!
Try Banana Republic and Limited Express...  I can always find pants on sale and they seem to fit better than a lot of the stuff at Kohl's. I also like Ann Taylor Loft. They have shorts and capris on sale right now. I just bought a pair of capris for $30.

Good luck!

I love shopping....I don't buy retail though, I can't afford it and I'm sure I'm outdated by a few years or so but I don't care.  I have to find 6-8 talls and would normally have to pay out the wazzoo for those so I thrift shop and it's always like finding treasures... I have so much fun (one of my replacement compulsions I'm sure.....getting a thrill of finding a deal is as good as the whole bag of chips I used to devour...LOL).   Yeah I know, I need help!!!
