I think this would be the perfect opportunity for my friends and family to answer "What they hate about shopping with Nicki". :)

I hate that I can't find a compatible shopping buddy. I think it's because I'm so thorough when I shop. I compare every price. I compare most labels to see what I'm ingesting, and I will hunt for the best bargain when shopping for clothes.

My biggest complaint about shopping, is that there isn't any good shopping close enough to me that I can do it as much as I'd like. It would be great to have some specialty stores in the Camby area so I don't have to drive 20-60 minutes to find something unique.

Hope that helps!

I will shop with you Nicki, I am the same way! I wear everyone out so I go it alone most of the time!

I absolutely hate being asked a million times if I need assistance. :-) It's like car shopping and I need a few minutes to look around without a shadow. :-)

With that said I absolutely love to shop and I will always stop first where I see "ON SALE". :-)

I live in Miami County so we have absolutely no place to shop here thus a 40 minute drive at least is needed to find anything decent.

I hate the feeling I get after shopping. I suffer from shoppers' remorse after almost every shopping trip even if it is just the gas station...

I hate that I can't ever remember what I have at home in my closet, even if I just looked it all over before I left my house! So I just end up buying a really cute shirt or pair of shoes that I never wear because I have nothing to go with them. You know it is hard just simply knowing what is in fashion! =) I am still wearing things that were cool in college or even high school sometimes. Every year it becomes harder for me to keep up with fashion. ....now that I say that...part of me wants to not even try because I won't have the money to buy a new wardrobe every season to keep up! How can I stay in style with just a few key trendy items and what are the items that never go out of style that I can keep around for a while????? =)
Hope this helps!

My guess would be: having a credit card limit:)

I do not enjoy shopping for clothes for myself. I would much rather shop for others which most of the time I do. Others, mostly being my kids;) I do not mind shopping for other stuff like furniture, books or groceries.

Why do I despite clothing shopping? Because I am indecisive and this leads to more time looking at and trying on clothes. I also ponder: do I need this item, is it too expensive, how will it fit or do I have accessories to go with it.

It is just not as fun as it used to be. Thanks for allowing to contribute:)

Thanks for your responses! Nicki and Hazel, I am right there with you. I am a nightmare to shop with for myself. Every detail has to be just so, or I won't buy an item. Picky, picky, picky! But, I have a closet containing only clothes that I wear and love. Worth the fussiness. I prefer to go alone so I can dilly dally without driving anyone crazy.

The one thing that I hate about shopping are excessively large crowds so I typically try to go on Sundays or a week day to avoid the masses. I don't have much patience for other people. Usually when I shop I go in and get what I need/want and get the heck out as quickly as I can. I also agree with Ashley and don't particularly care for the 'shadow' some employees can place on you as you look around the store.
