Thinking about heading out on a shopping trip to the thrift store tomorrow, try and take advantage of Halloween at the last second (still a shy buyer). I'm not planning on spending much this time out, so I'm not sure what I'm looking to buy. I definitely enjoy looking for dresses, but haven't really had much play with skirts, pants, or really any other outfit. What would you go for?
Couldn't help myself, I voted Dress! Have fun shopping! Hugs, Devlyn
SHOES SHOES SHOES! And a dress... tee hee!
Pansy.
I would buy a black lace bustier with a mustard colour sheer top.
Not quite on the selection list I know, but I have just ordered a sexy black lace bustier. It has got a very deep back band and a lace-up under-bust, so I am hoping to enhance my figure & maximise my boob assets by wearing it in conjunction with a deep corset-like suspender belt over my hips. The bustier & suspender belt should almost meet at my waist.
Sorry, but I am so excited about the bustier!
i said dress...
becuase i was looking at some last night that i may get in a couple of weeks.
Ended up with a much better haul than I thought I would- and hit a lot of the categories!
Got a blue evening dress (half off for Halloween, what differentiated it as Halloween instead of dresses, I'm not sure)
A black miniskirt that is outrageously soft
And a tank top with a built in bra, killing two birds with one stone.
Not bad for $12...
Congrats! I made a trip to the thrift store as well today, but couldn't summon up the courage to buy anything. Maybe next time... I hope your purchases bring you pleasure.
Oh my gosh - such a no brainer here! Boots!

Just know that it's possible. Sometimes it doesn't feel right. Sometimes it does. I've always felt great after I've done it. Though Halloween does make for a very convenient excuse, I'm a little bummed I didn't take more advantage.
I've only just started purchasing, and after today I now have a collection. Nothing coordinated yet, I'm not really sure where I want to take things. But it's possible.
QuoteI've always felt great after I've done it.
I know what you are saying. Conquering a fear can be exhilarating while being frozen into inaction can be disappointing. I really thought Halloween presented a great opportunity to make a purchase without drawing attention to myself. Unfortunately there were so many people about that I simply couldn't manage it.
I also prefer to do my face after about an hour of deciding what to wear ;)
Ohmygoodness! lol I'am the only one who prefers pants and jeans huh? I do like simple dresses but hardly wear them, however it is getting mucho colder where I live.
I LOVE the jeans, tops, pullovers, sweater's etc. at zumiez. Can't help myself, there all, well mostly just really nice and I feel like it makes sense with how I look and my personality, but theres nothing wrong with shoes, skirts and dresses either! :)
It's xmas time, shop and if your nervous pretend they're presents.
My vote is pick up a nice pair of mary jane heels.

You're not the only one. Turns out the jeans might be my favorite purchase so far.

Awesome! I have some skinny jeans but thery're kinda um TIGHT. But they look good, what kind of jeans did you get?
Jeans - need to round out my wardrobe. How can anyone pass up a chance to get more shoes?
Definitely pants and shooz!! I want some nice flats, in a few colors and a pair of 3 inch heels. Oh and tons of skinny jeans, I will never have enough :)

Also skinny jeans. Maybe a little too skinny, but they do look good in the rear. Also neat just to have tried something new.
I ordered a slim coat yesterday. I hope it fits with me. It's about US$ 100, and I confess that nowadays I am addicted to shopping fashion items.

I love the look and feel of skinny jeans, but getting the waist and length just right is a challenge I haven't managed just yet. Enjoy your jeans!
I have committed a New Year extravagance and I have just ordered FOUR black demi-cup push up bras!
I have found a supplier who has got just the sort of brassiere that I love to wear. That is, I like deep side & back bands with double hook fastenings. Also, lots of support under the bust with a nice stiff moulding under the cleavage.
But best of all, I love the wider bra straps, with large adjustment buckles which sit tight over my back. I have had a lot of trouble with dropped bra straps, and with my previous "little girls" bras with spaghetti straps I found that when they were tight enough to stay put, they made grooves in my shoulders. My God, advocating wide bra straps does sound so frumpy!
But with these bras, I can strap myself in nice & snug, with lots of side support, tons of push up, a nice bit of nipple wobble, tight straps which don't slip or dig in, but also with buckle bumps which show through my top, and which make it obvious that I am wearing a bra.
I have got several tight white tops, which look like they have been sprayed on me. I have worn white and pink bras under them, but with really no reaction from neighbours, in supermarket queues etc.
Maybe these new black bra straps will attract attention. I do really want somebody to ask me "are you wearing a bra?", but it is surprisingly difficult to provoke any response. Maybe all the other guys have got bras on?
hah would be sooooo awkward to have some random stranger in a shop ask me if i was wearing a bra, but at the same time, would be interesting if someone did have the moxy to ask a complete stranger if they were wearing a bra. :p
Voted skirt and dress but I have a weakness for bra's and panties

I got the dress I had ordered, and tried to wear it at my office in a hurry.

The ankle boots do not match well...., but I like the style of the dress. It is not so much warm, and for spring and warm-winter days. I will be in Seoul next week for a meeting in a government complex. If the weather allows, I am going to wear it. Seems to good for official events. I will wear long boots.

I have lately fallen in love with maxi skirts, just bought a beautiful olive green tie dye maxi at DressBarn.
Love Kim
