i am specially i don't have a lot of money and i make sure what i spent on will be useful and what i really wanted to have or will love to use it. I was on the mall just yesterday sunday afternoon. and i could not which clothes or shirt to buy in the very affordable price. i don't know if this is quite expensive already. cause most of the tshirt price range from $5 to $10. i definitely will go on the middle of that price or lower. $10 is quite expensive already for me except if the shirt is quite good in quality and style i will definitely buy. but if is just average shirt and also i am not sure it will look well on me i will have second thoughts on buying it. i was about to buy the shirt . the design was nice and very cool and the color was great too. but i just noticed that the seem on the bottom of the shirt is not that good. you can actually notice that the quality of the clothes used is not that good. that is why it is just selling for $6. but that is expensive already for me. there is some good quality clothing but with bad design and color though. and so i could not make up my mind what to buy yesterday.
anyways, any advice what and where to buy. i will next time try to buy .

Hello Hotsummer, I'm not a picky customer at all. All I go for is color that match my skin tone. Not too expensive and any material is fine with me. But if I take along my husband, he is the opposite charactertham I am.
He is picky with material and quality. He don't like common designs, and selection of colour is very unique. He is an Interior Designer and he makes sure he look presentive at all time!

I am also picky actually in all things, make it in food, girl and clothes. In clothes, I always make sure that the clothes I am wearing fits me, that's why before I buy clothes, I always fit it first. I go for middle quality clothes, not those too expensive clothes but not also those cheap and low quality clothes. The only tip I can say to save money in buying clothes is to wait for the store promos and sale. Happy myLotting!

Yes, it doesn't mean that if the item is on sale, you have to buy it immediately, for me, i have to fit it on first and see if I looks good on it, then check if it has any defects and make sure that your money is worth buying it.
Uhmm.. I think I am more choosy in girls than in clothes. Because there are more qualities in a girl to choose from than in clothes. Of course, like clothes, you should also be interested with her. Like in clothes, I also look for a girl who has quality, but not too high. Her personality is also important, we should be fitted together. There should be a chemistry between us. Her beauty inside and out is what I am considering in choosing. Happy myLotting!

totally true. waiting for promos and sales are the best times to buy them. i bought two clothes month before because they are on sale. anyways, there were some sales yesterday for some clothes but nothing that interest.
about you being so picky in girls. it is understandable cause it is important to develop special relationship we truly love from the heart. are you more choosy in girls or in clothes.

i could not buy a dress by myself. cause i can't decide if a dress looks good on me when i fit it or try it out on the fitting room on the malls. but if i have someone with me then i could ask the opinion of the person with me on how the dress looks on me. if the person likes it then i will definitely buy it.

i am. i dunno but i am really picky when buying new clothes. i love to compare prices, check the details of the clothing, etc. i always want to get my money's worth in everything i buy. my friends call me a savvy shopper. i think i am. i value my money because i make it, i work hard for it.i always for budget shopping, i look for cheap fashion finds..those stuff that are affordable but of high quality. i believe that looking great doesn't equate to paying more.

i too love to compare prices.like in makati malls where they the malls are sitting next to each other. i go around makati in glorietta, to landmark, to sm makati. but not in greenbelt cause those are signature dress or clothes already in greenbelt and i can't afford them and i would not buy them even if i can afford them.

I am definitely someone who is very picky while choosing clothes to buy and my sister and mother always decline the thought to come with me while shopping, they say that I waste a lot of time but actually I do not waste my time but I choose good clothes for an affordable price so I think it is good to be like this atleast. And above all I love to shop alone now without the assistance of anyone who will only hurry me around.

do you buy clothes online too. what site do you buy. is it ebay. i am not much familiar with online shop for clothing. and also i am reluctant to buy online cause i wonder if the dress would end up too big or too small for me. and it will take another fee sending them back to the seller and have it shipped back to me with replacement item. so it will not me save money for at the end. but it is definitely great to browse for items on online shop.

I usually buy online on ebay only because this is a secure site for me so I do not fear to pay over there as I am sure I will receive my dress accordingly. I buy evening and casual dresses which are not too expensive also And I like the necklaces and the shoes also. I pay by my paypal so no need to give credit cards.

i am picky specially with the prices. i am a single mom with four children and i need to buy whats my moneys worth. a cheap but comfortable and fits good on me. i can not just go inside a store and get what i want i need to look a lot of things on what is no sale and comfortable and fits me. i buy my children clothes also that way. sometimes if they only need it for a certain ocasion or program at school i buy them at second hand shops.

that is true. things are priced higher in malls and stores and that it is hard to buy them not unless we have a very good budget which nowadays are hard to come by. money does not come in now as it was before. and we are more reluctant to buy and think more before we splurge on buying things we want. we make sure it is just essential before we purchase or else we can delay on buying them.

I'm picky about both the price and the style. In the past, I didn't care much about style because I was a student and liked to dress lovely. But I did care about the price because I was badly in need of extra money. But now, I'm working as a college teacher. Dressing properly is extremely important. Those lovely clothes are no longer appropriate to wear. So I'm particulary prudent when I buy clothes now. Mostly, I have to drag my friends to go with me and help me decide which one is better. I don't buy very expensive clothes since most clothes nowadays are good in quality.

I am not that picky when it comes to buying new clothes.As for me, getting something comfortable to wear and up to the fashion but yet cheap will be good enough for me.I would usually go for shopping during the sales season because I can definitely save a lot when buying my clothes there. For example when I went for my previous shopping spree, it was a clearance sale, so I got my Muller tops for only RM25 when the price was discounted by 70%. Isn't that cheap and saves a lot?I am very simple and not fussy about clothes but the quality is the main criteria in getting a cloth.

am not that picky but i have standards like: the shirt should be tunic, it has to be in my color palette, there should be a clothing item i have already that i can wear with my new buy. i frequent myself in stores where i know is within my price range

I'm very selective about fashion. My skin's colour is not white so i must choose my apparels match my skin. It's a hard thing to do. It usually takes alot of time for choosing a match one. But it doesn't a matter for me. I enjoy the hunting activity. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

i will say the same thing with me. cause i find it hard for dress that will look good on me. i mean pretty good. cause when i buy a dress or clothes i want to look better than just looking just nothing or not attractive. i would like to improve my over all look that is why i buy new clothes. if i would be happy the same me i would just stick with me clothes i have now . and i would find it easy to buy dress. some people just look great in most styles and so they find it easy to buy clothes.

In super picky in choosing my clothes. I make sure that they're worth the money i spend. I always take into consideration the lining, the texture, the comfortableness and the hems and seams. More than the style, i also consider the wear-ability of the clothing. Can i match a shirt with anything? What occasions can i use it? Of course the price is taken into consideration especially when i'm in a tight budget, but as long as i know that i can wear a clothing anywhere and i think that it's worth it, i will definitely buy it with no regret!

yes we must consider the hems and the seams. before i just buy when i like the the style but learned that the seams and the hems had some problems and felt cheated actually though it was for sale.

I think everyone is to an extent. I want certain colors, certain sizes, and certain styles. I don't care about brand. When it comes to clothes, you always want something the represents who you are.

I am particularly picky about my clothes too. I buy expensive clothes but I buy them because of their good quality and I wear them until they wear out. I have my soles of my shoes re-soled when they get holes in the bottom. I keep my shoes around 5 years, this is why I buy expensive clothing.
