I don't like shopping at all, but I'll do what has to be done.

 

[EC]

Online shopping is great. Easy to get deals too.

10% off clothes for being a student #perks

I'm wary of online shopping because I'm never sure if whatever I'm getting would actually fit me. It's why I'm so huge on shopping in-person because I can, at the very least, try on clothes before deciding whether or not they're for me.

Online shopping doesn't have that luxury, and even if they have a return policy, shipping it back is really annoying.

Just try to avoid Asian marketplaces online - especially on Amazon - because their sizes run from small to super small.

 

[Corrin]

I can attest to that. I ordered a cool jacket that was 3x, because that's normally my size but it was TINY holy shit

 

[Gabri]

I've heard friends of mine saying that one has to be careful when ordering from the US because it seems their sizes are larger than the European counterparts kek

 

[blue]

yeah, shoe sizes for example is one size up in the US compared to the UK sizes.

 

[Corrin]

I figure I just buy my clothes irl lol

 

[EC]

I can't remember the last time I bought shoes. 2014? 2015? These red Chuck Taylors have been good to me.

I buy shoes approximately two times a year, which is a habit I really need to kick up because sometimes my shoes become worn quicker than anticipated.

... I'm thinking maybe bumping it up to around four times a year or so. Four pairs of shoes would do me just fine in the majority of situations and should last me more than a year anyway if they're of decent quality.

 

[Gabri]

If I get a pair of shoes a year I'm lucky lol

I don't really treat my shoes badly enough for them to get all worn and battered

 

[colours]

im a major fashionista so im slightly disappointed that i dont really shop for shoes more but alas.

 

[blue]

last time i bought a pair of trainers was about 2 weeks ago and they were fairly cheap. they're really nice though!

What I need to do clothes-wise is buy more formal stuff for job interviews. :s My dress shoes that I usually wear are being close to worn after wearing them frequently for over 2-3 years... need like two more pairs or so.

 

[Corrin]

The last pair of sneakers I bought are good, but I need new winter boots next year

 

[Somewhere_]

my sister always makes fun of me for my poor fashion sense

just cause i dont keep up with current men's fashion doesnt mean that i wear inappropriate clothing

 

[Incineroar]

I should probably pick up some more casual shoes to wear to and from work. I work at the one mall in the city so I can get some discounts that regular people don't get, which is super cool. Either that or my student discount or my college discount all could get me cheaper pricing so I can definitely save money despite being in the mall where everything is more expensive. There's a few chain stores there that are discount though - Marshalls opened up here a few months back so that's always nice.

 

[TY]

I just have one pair of shoes and the worst sense of clothing ever according to my entire family :>

 

[Ryoutarou]

Don't worry, you're just massively ahead of the game, an unappreciated trend setter.
