Does anyone else find that buying some clothes makes you feel better when you're a little depressed?  It was an impulse stop at a clearance rack today that made my whole day brighter.  Hadn't bought new tops in 20 years.  So nice, and so happy.

I bought a red pencil dress and somehow wearing it at the change room and walking about made me feel a million dollars - no depression here

buying cosmetics does the trick too ~_^

Yes.. buying clothes make me very happy... but what makes me feel really good.. buying shoes...

Sexy underwear... can make u feel sexy .

Shoes do the trick for me.

[CryssL]

Yesss!  Clothes, shoes, cosmetics, whatever—doesn't matter what; I love shopping and it always makes my day much better!

Slim cut blue jeans, small v neck, plaid shit, sneakers, converse, cargo shorts :p

[Serena Lynn]

Very much so! buying new clothes always put a smile on my face. Shoes have always been a thing of mine too even when I was in boy mode. Haven't added to my real collection yet

Double plus votes for shoes, ESPECIALLY if I know what outfit they're going with.

Love (and shoes),

Rosie

Love shopping for clothes It really makes me feel good!!!!
 
And finding that I wear a medium or small in skirts is not bad either, lots more choices it seems.

Got these skirts and sundress on the last trip, and it seems like every few weeks I have a Victoria's Secret order on the way.



makes the hot summer days feel much better when you wear a floofy skirt

Finding shoes that fit is a bit of a miracle and online seems to be winning in that deptartment.

Enjoyed some retail therapy recently, new tank tops, floaty shirt-dress and a couple of cami's.  Also got some new nail polish and mascara, and then the free gift bag of goodies that came with the cosmetics purchase.  All in all was a good day out

When they are both comfortable to wear and looking sexy, then I can smile and feel happy. For example, I purchased 4-inch high heels sandals about 9 years ago, and I still wear it because I even can carry a heavy bag without any pain in my feet with that sandals.

Barbie, those are very cute!!

kind of what I am looking for...as if I need to be any taller though thats my issue with high heels, but they just look so good!

Shoes do the trick for me.

Yes, finding shoes or boots that are stylish and fit well. I wear women's 10w. The 10 is no problem, the W is. Costco sells a an UGGS knockoff, exactly like the brand name except the label and price. I have bought like six pairs...but you really can't wear them in the rain. Then UGGS came out with a rainboot:$250 at Nordstrom's but well worth it for all the compliments I get.

But, even though you can wear boots year round on many days in the Bay Area, one still needs open shoes. After getting a French pedicure last week, I went to Payless and found three pairs of open shoes and sandals.

Shopping! One of the many joys of being female!

Hadn't bought new tops in 20 years.

I'd like to know where you bought tops that lasted for 20 years. 

I've never really been a big clothes person, but I love catalog shopping online. The only problem with that is it doesn't always fit like you'd want. Still, nothing feels better than getting all dolled up in dress or skirt outfit with the  hair and makeup done. And I may be 5'11", but high heels always make me feel like a million bucks-- until my feet get sore.

Glicious, I'm sure you absolutely kill in a red pencil dress.

yes!!! lol dresses, tops, shoes, i love all of it =) and bras... i love buying bras! i have way way to many, but i just cant help myself

[crazy old bat]

I'm not a big clothes shopper. I may go get a few new things about twice a year and then only if I absolutely need to. Stuff tends to last me a long time and I will wear something out before I replace it. Currently, my main tennis shoes(3 years old) that I wear for work and such are worn out on the bottom and have a hole developing, but I'm still wearing them, lol.  But when I do go, I search the clearance racks and tables first, I pretty much will not buy something unless its on sale. Heck, the tops I have that get the most compliments are usually less than $10. 

the big issue I have is getting jeans, too often size 8 long seems to be the first ones that run out at stores so I have to search for those. I don't like ordering clothes online as I much prefer to try things on as you just don't know what real size the manufacturer is actually labeling as something else.
