how often do you buy clothes for yourself?

Do you know something, I absolutely love clothes, I always have from being a kid. But because of the way that I chose to live my life I could never afford them. Then of course I went on to have 4 children and so now their needs come before mine and even though I am acutally in need of clothes now rather than just wanting to buy them, I still cannot because the kids always need more!!! I would love to just be able to buy a couple of things every month, but by the time the bills are paid and the kids are sorted there is just nothing left over!!

I dont buy clothes for myself that often just when I need it really im not one for shopping just for the sake of it. I prefer to spend my money on my girls so I dont go without but unless I really need something the extra cash goes on their clothes which they are always growing out of!

I dont usually buy much for my self as my mom buys me so much I dont need to buy any. Lately due to my expanding belly I have had to buy lots of new clothing and it sucks cause I cant wear maternity clothing after this lol.

i only buy clothes when i need them like for instance, now, i could use some new t shirts because my old ones from last year, look well kinda old. if i see a really good deal (i got some pants at walmart for $4-) i will buy that, or if i go to a thrift store, which i do quite often and see something, i will buy it, but at a regular store? maybe about a couple of time a year.

When I had small children I never bought myself anything except the necessities. Now that my children are grown adults I do buy for myself but not much as I still have other bills to pay. I have recently lost 25 lbs. and still dieting and want to lose another 15 lbs. so I had to go out and buy myself some new pants and shorts because all of my old ones were way too big. But I haven't had to buy very many new tops as the weight I lost wasn't from the top part of my body. I hope with the next 15 lbs. I lose, it comes from the top as I am still very big busted and don't like it. I know that is what people younger than me want, big boobs, but I don't because I have always had big ones and I would like them to be smaller so I can fit the more sexy and trendy tops. So to answer your question I buy myself something new about once a week and I am loving it. It is so nice to have some new clothes as all of my other clothes are probably about 15 years old or more. I have thrown out the old too big jeans and I need more to replace them so I will continue to treat myself once a week and buy something new.

I very rarely buy clothes for myself unless really needed. I will be this week as I have a wedding and an Annivesary celebration to go to next month, but a couple of times a year I will go on a shopping spree and but new shoes, jeans and tops. Years ago before having a family I would but most weekends and up giving most away, I never had a sister but to close friends. These days I will buy clothes for the children rather than for myself and me, my friends and neighbours all swap goodie bags of what we no longer wear with each other and that is a great way of getting something new but without spending and lots of fun too. Ellie :D

I buy myself new clothes every six months or a year or so. I'm pretty thrifty in that department. It always seems like there are more worthwhile thing to spend the money on like activism or seeking justice.

At the moment I don't buy clothes much for myself as I am on a strict budget. If I buy clothes it is mostly for my children, especially bubs as she is growing bigger by the day, lol. When I start work again next year I probably buy clothes for myself every 1-2 months, depending on whether I see things that i like.

i often buy clothes when i have money to buy clothes for my self. but i like to buy on hukay-hukay and not to branded thirst and shorts.

well i do go shopping for myself but i would usually take some frnd or one person with good taste for clothing.i would choose for myself but let them pick for me too.my job is not very god payg but i also m not very fond of buying stuff very often.i would buy clothes oly after my old clothes have worn out or too much to wear.

I do not like to spend to much money on clothing and rarely spent money on myself. I bought clothing every once and a while but not very many pairs as I felt that I shouldn't need to buy so much. I look back now and wonder why I did not spend so very much but I am not disappointed that I did save. Most of my money would go to helping my friends as they were spend thrifty and liked to spend their money and not have any for bills. Have a Wonderful day!

Clothes shopping, what is that. LOL I have not bought clothing in so long. I worked at a job where jeans were acceptable, no need to buy clothes. Then I went to a job that was business casual, no need to buy clothes. Now, I am unemployed, No Need to buy clothes. I did buy a dress from a catalog two years ago, when my husband's son got married, it is a waste of money, I do not have anywhere to wear that dress

I try to buy at least one pair of pants every 2 months and a one or two shirts a month. Usually though I end up buying more for my daughter. I just always think I can do without.

Hahaha really i never buy clothes for my self.. No like everytwo months maybe and i only like buy two outfits for myself

Hi dear Dudgeting is very good thing and it should be done, as it provide u idea as how much u need to allocate to priorities And then u can adjust and c ut them accordingly this will also teach u how to save Well i am not much into buying cclothes u know few jeans few trouser shirts are enough to keep ur wardrobe update

I have two children that are now adults, but when growing up I was always buying for them and never for me. The kids always came first and then me, so I very seldom ever bought myself something new. But sometimes I would have no choice since I need clothes and such too. Now that my kids are adults and my husband is gone, I left him, I am now buying for me. I am now living for me and when I need something I will just go buy it.

I buy clothess WAY TOO OFTEN! (LOL) That's the majority of what I spend my money on. It's unfortunate because I wish I were better at saving. I have some money in savings, but I'm a lot like you used to be. I'm engaged now, so when my fiance and I get married, I'm sure it'll be a shocker for me not being able to just go out and buy a cute shirt when I see one. I'll have to show a lot more discipline and self control. It'll definitely be a good thing, though. I know it'll help give me incentive to save because I'll want to take care of my hubby and eventually a family. It'll be worth only buying clothes either when I really need them or every few months like you mentioned. It's worth it to me to give that up for my husband. I think you're a very wise woman! You're a great example to me also. Keep up the good work!

Honestly, I don't buy clothes that often unless I really needs new clothes or if I have to buy something for an occassion. I buy clothes maybe every 2 or 3 months.

i buy as much i as i can...lol..i love to shop..:))
