tension when shopping for clothes

[xXRebeccaXx]

This thread makes me giggle.. If you think doing it as an adult is hard.. Try doing it when you are 12 or 13.. I did..

So did I, it was quite easy considering I'm goth.

Goth? Is this 1993?

No, maybe I'm not obsessed with pink and wear heals and frilly dresses all the time. Maybe I like dressing the way I dress.

Wow, that is like the 1930s country style.

I wasn't criticizing the way you dress, bub. I was saying I haven't heard the term "goth" used to describe fashion since I was in high school.

Which I'm sure was a very long time ago.

93 isn't very long ago.

And I do hear the word occasionally, but I only see suburbanites still dressing 'goth' in a way that's distinguishable from emo kids and metal or punk kids.

Trust me i work for a well known clothing firm, mainly womens clothes, no one notices, no one really cares, we all have our own problems and were here to do a job and get home on a night,  time's are a changing!

I just spent 2hrs or more shopping in the women's section(s) at the local Goodwill store. I had an awesome experience. No one bothered me, and I didn't detect any dirty looks or comments (though I wasn't trying hard to gauge people's looks). No one seemed to bat an eye when I replaced a bunch of items on the re-rack rack outside of the fitting rooms. Confidence certainly goes a long way. I think the lesson is to find places that don't seem to care (or, better yet, want to actively help you). I know that I've found one, and I'll definitely be going back.

One thing I've noticed at Goodwill if I try to look at shirts or something is that older people and store staff often offer advice. Since I'm a nice young kid who clearly doesn't know what he's doing.

I laugh but they're not completely wrong, and them thinking I'm young gives me a good cover.
