[maiden voyage]

resuscitating this thread!

When you shop what do you typically buy?
i either buy things on my trusty 'list' or else things that are too good to pass up.
What is the ratio of tops to bottoms to dresses ...etc?
definately more tops. mostly because they are less drudgery to try on and i am a lazy shopper. and i think it's easier to find good tops.
How often do you buy swimwear?
maybe every 5 years? ...i don't really have swimwear on my radar. i live in california and go to clothing-optional beaches! and i hate the chlorine in pools.
How often do you buy underwear?
it totally depends, either when i need it or find something cute
What colors do you typically buy?
i love all colors, i have a feeling i need to rein myself in a bit and focus more on some kind of a palette because i'd like to buy fewer clothes that work together. but i like olive green, dusty colors, and of course basics like black, red white and grey
How much do you spend a month on apparel?
it varies! at a change of season i spend more, i bet it averages about $200-500.
Where do you shop most often?
i have always shopped at thrift stores, and i'm trying to learn to shop in 'normal' stores better. thrift stores = one-of-a-kind, often really good construction/fabric, cheap... but there are a lot of drawbacks as well. i've been finding a lot of good stuff recently at jcrew, and i get a lot of basics and odds and ends at old navy, and some local boutiques. basically i hit all of the chain stores (at about 5 min per store) as well, you never know what you'll find.

[Guessgirl96]

What is the ratio of tops to bottoms to dresses ...etc?

prabably about 4 : 1 : 0.1 respectivley. Except for a few skirts and shorts in the summer, I wear jeans all the time. And since most jeans are similar, and typically not all that hard to find, I never prioritize on jeans on only get them when I have a little extra to spend. Becuase my bottoms are simple most of my outfit is on the top half, so I buy lots of tops. And dresses never seened to work their way into my closet, I have about 4...
