Do you buy things...then not used them?

They sure do would love a person like you. I always think about this. Why do mannequins wore clothes better than some women? I often get tempted to buy clothes the mannequin is wearing on a store display. The clothes really look well on them. But when I fit them, the results aren't the same!

I tried purchasing online through a local supplier. And the dresses weren't at all what the pictures told them to be. Good thing I was able to dispose of them. Generally I don't purchase on line. Maybe because I basically don't know how. I'm just scared being scammed by people on line.

haha,the mannequins have tempting figure,and the clothes wore by them is nice-looking.you should can wear them belong to your taste even through not the same. By the way,do you like buy some good items online,such as designer handbags,etc? thank you.

A must when buying clothes, better try it on first before buying it. The way we see a dress when it is hanging or being worn by a mannequin is different when we actually wear them ourselves. It helps us avoid the mistake of buying something that we wouldn't eventually wear. Saves us on money. True. When we usually moved out, it usually gives us the opportunity to get rid of unwanted things. We have been on the move for the past 2 years and mostly we have disposed of the things that we aren't really using.

I know others sell it online. But I hardly know of such stores in my locality that I can sell my clothes to. I think that is quite a nice deal. You get paid for your clothes and make another person happy for paying it at a lesser price. I really wish we have such stores here.

I used to be like that before. Although, I'm really more careful now about buying things. It is just a waste of money if you buy and then not use them eventually. When I clean my closet, I usually give my unwanted clothes to my relatives or I let my mom dispose it. I really don't care who she gave it to.

I remember I bought a blouse to wear on the wedding of my brother-in-law. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the wedding. It has been 5 years now. Haven't even get to wear it even once.

I figured that out too! Usually the things that I always wear at home are those on top of the pile or the ones recently washed. Sometimes, I'm just lazy getting the ones under the pile, that I just get the one on top. Pretty convenient is it?

Well we seem to think of using them when we buy them. I really don't understand too, why we don't use them when we already take them home. How easily can we change our minds!

We had been moving for the past 2 years. So we kind of dispose most of our things. My mom's house had become a storage room for us. Most of the things we haven't used where mostly given to relatives who might find use for them.

Hi Sids! Thanks for sharing. Yeah we sometimes purchase things that we thought we need off the rack without really trying to look at it. I remember one time I purchased at a grocery store and I thought I bought a spaghetti sauce but it was actually a viand sauce. They just looked the same. The ever creative cook, my husband fortunately made a recipe to use it for.

Oh I experienced the food stuffs too! My brother bought this huge cereal and just left it on our fridge. And I have been consuming it for a week now.

I so agree! Base on my experience too of course. We had a small business last holidays where we resell clothes. I saw a supplier on line and bought a bulk. My husband was already warning me that I should take a look at the clothes first. But I like the pictures that she posted on-line so I didn't mind his warning. To my dismay, he was right. Half of the things I purchased didn't past for my taste. Fortunately we we're able to dispose all of them. And I learned a valuable lesson.

They do don't they? I am often times enticed to buy because it was just so good with the mannequins. And when you try it at home, suddenly you usually don't get the results that you want.

I think it really is a waste. But I think if ever we give it away, at least there is another person who may find it more useful than we do.

I also used to collect those stationary pads when I was young. Although, I really don't know where they are now. We have actually moved so many times I can't remember anymore where I placed them. I also have a whole cabinet of stuffed toys and dolls my parents bought for me when I was young. In fact, they even bought me an imported ceramic doll which I can't even play because it was so fragile. And when I came to visit my mom, she gave me this shirt that was in bright pink. She bought it for herself, but for some reason she doesn't want to use it. So, she thought she might give it to me instead. Still I accepted it. I don't want to hurt her feelings. But I was thinking, My God! I can't be caught wearing that shirt!

Yeah, I agree. When a family is living on a one-income household, you really would think twice about where your money is going since each cent counts.

In terms of clothes, I rarely shop. I just wait for relatives abroad who would give me a shopping spree as a treat. That's the only time I'd get to choose clothes for free. Although, there are times that I hardly even worn the clothes that I choose.

Yeah, it really is a waste. Buying something and then not using it for its purpose. I don't really shop a lot. I'm a picky shopper when it comes to clothes. But it really sucks when you took time to pick and when you finally take it home and our preference suddenly changed. You don't want to wear it. It is really difficult to be a woman sometimes.

Keep it up Asyria! It is a good habit!

Oh I also do that too with the pants! If I really like it, I turn it into shorts. It is human nature for women to change their mind so easily. Well we initially like it at first. Give it some time, then we won't like it anymore.

It is really nice to shop, specially if you really like the ones you buy without having regrets of ever buying it. My last shopping was quite successful. I really like the shirts that I bought. I doubt if I'll ever have to give it away.
