"i Have Nothing To Wear"

[looksgoodinred]

is your significant other's closet overflowing?

(and i will admit, i did just drop by the store last night to buy a new dress for saturday. because "there was nothing in my closet". although i have more of a thing for shoes than clothes. )

 

as i think about it though, while the number might look large, it's over a lifetime. how many suits, shirts, trousers, shoes and trainers do men buy? over a lifetime?

how often have you heard that?

 

Daily.

 

She's almost 6 months pregnant and we have a party in toon tonight.

 

I imagine I'll hear the phrase again shortly.

 

Joys.

My wardrobe is overflowing. The only thing in my closet is me.

[slippers]

I'm don't buy alot of clothes as I prefer quality over quantity! Alot of girls buy alot of cheap shite that is worn once or twice. Why not just buy 1 decent pair of jeans instead of 5 shit pairs?

[tup]

Aye I've certainly got more clothes than I could ever wear properly.

 

I could also easily buy a pair of trainers a week.

 

I've got two unworn pairs right now that I'm just waiting for the right moment before wearing.

 

I'm a trainer fanatic.

that's to be expected though while pregnant.. an ever-changing body.

and new clothing's a small price to pay for a wonderful baby at the end!

i'd argue that's because women's fashion trends change far more frequently than men's. why invest hundreds of pounds in something that you can only wear a few times before it's another season or it's out of style? it's worth investing serious cash only in classic pieces.

I'm gonna go on a massive shopping spree in August or September I think.

 

I usually clear out my wardrobe once every one or two years then fill it again.

ye clotheshorse!

[Pash]

Yep, her wardrobe needs seem to be believed.

 

Something very gay about guys who are too much into clothes shopping though.

 

What's wrong with shopping for clothes?

 

I love going shopping for clothes.

 

So does my boyfriend.

[Donmacca]

Keep hearing this all the time. Due to the fact that we're due to get married 3 weeks tomorrow, she has done very well to lose well over 2 stone. Now all I hear is that she has no clothes to fit her and I should take her shopping. I've told her no.

begs the question.. is she not capable of taking herself shopping?

[tup]

Good for you Donmacca.

 

Weemin need telt.

 

One thing I would never do when shopping for something to wear is try it on. This is the preserve of true faggots.

 

I'd rather pay good money for something that didna fit me than lower myself to trying it on.

 

Not to mention the time it wastes, and the fucking song and dance you have to go through.

 

Time is money.

 

That's why I can never go shopping with a woman for clothes. The bitches want to try stuff on all the time!

well if they made women's clothing in standard (as in uniform) sizing, this wouldn't be necessary! i just bought two bras from the same manufacturer in the same store of the same style and same size. one fits like a glove. i put on the other earlier this week, to find it didn't fit. it seemed strange. til i held them up against each other.. and the second is a full two inches smaller, ffs.

[Donmacca]

More than capable however she wants me to pay. Would eat into my new car fund.

[looksgoodinred]

ah well that's different then.

she should pay for her own clothes, and buy what she pleases then. her problem solved.

Take her to Primark and tell her to fill her boots

Maybe your paps have grown in the last two weeks?

[looksgoodinred]

no. same size bought at the same time and tried on within days of each other. just not uniform sizing. if you hold them up against each other, one is substantially smaller than the other.

Your tits or the bra's?

[looksgoodinred]

one of the bras is smaller than the other.

[looksgoodinred]

anyhoooo....

 

given the responses so far, it would appear that a woman spending this much on clothing (over a lifetime) wouldn't seem to be outrageous. and men likely spend just as much.

[tup]

As someone already said, with men it's quality, with women it's quantity.

 

For instance, women go mad for Primark, their clothes are cheap shite, that I wouldna be seen dead in.

 

So why's it so popular?

[Bobby Connor]

Look at this rag I just bought for a fiver! Won't last one wash! Whereas most of my clothes are 10 years old...

i've honestly not been in one yet, lol

we don't have them here. and when i've been in the UK, there are far more interesting stores to wander through

 

but from comments i've seen, i'd presume it's fairly inexpensive, trendier (?) clothing. so particularly among younger women with less disposable income, no doubt popular.

is your bucket hat more or less than ten years old, BC?

[Bobby Connor]

It's not even mine. Borrowed it off my wee bro for the day. My Fila trackie top is about 5 years old.

[Bobby Connor]

My wee bro is bald, hence an excessive amount of hats.
