If I have the money, I sometimes buy the expensive ones. But mostly, I go to a second hand store which sells cheaper but quality clothes. I can also find new clothes here that sells cheaper. It depends if you are rich in money and what store you want to buy.

I sometimes buy new and expensive clothes but I often choose a second hand shop instead. I have found some really great clothes in second hand shops and some of that clothes has been really cheap which means I can buy a lot more. Until a couple of years ago I always bought new clothes, but a friend took me to a second hand shop and I discovered a lot of great clothes there. The quality was much higher than I expected and since then I have done a lot of my clothes shopping in second hand stores.

I tend to shop very carefully and buy the best quality I can afford for the least amount of money I can spend. There are several second-hand shops I go to where they often have very high quality clothing that would be very expensive if it was new, but because someone has worn it a few times, it is much much less expensive. The quality is still there - but the price is much less. That's the best kind of bargain to find. Sometimes they even have brand new brand name clothes from stores that are going out of business or some such, and it's even better.

I buy only expensive clothes since they last a little longer than the ordinary and i like them because they give me the look that i want to have..i dont buy the cheap stuffs since they dont last for me long and i dont like the material and design on them and they fade away soon...

Hi! Welcome to myLot. I rarely shop for clothes and I do buy both of those you mentioned. Shopping for clothes is such a tedious work for me. Thats because Im a bit picky when it comes to my clothes. All I want is a shirt and Im happy. A full shirt at that and not a hanging one, or a sleeveless one. I go for comfort and quality since like Ive mentioned I dont shop for clothes that much so the shirts that I buy should be able to last me at least 6 months to one year. Im not saying I only have one shirt, I do have enough of them, and lets just say that I buy by batch.^_^ Anyway, there are some expensive ones that you can get for a cheaper price but has the same design and everything. You just gotta know where to look. You probably know all of this like you've mentioned.^_^
