I am. My mom said I'm no fun to shop for clothes with. Sad (I don't like lacey stuff whether it be undergarments or shirts.) I'm very picky and my family hates it. Smile

When I was a kid/teenager my Mom HATED to go shopping with me. Im very picky about what I wear and I always have been. I am my parents only girl so it was hard on my Mom that I wouldnt wear dresses and cute lacey stuff. I still will rip the tags out of clothes and will only wear loose fitting cotton and NO jeans. I also have issues with shoes...the only ones I can tollerate are flip flops and tennis shoes. I guess its more sensory but I was never into the current fashions either.

Bras are fine it's the neck straps for bathing suits that I hate. Smile It's funny in Elementary I was picked on for not having breasts and yet there was a girl with HUGE ones and she didn't get picked on. Smile

I HATE clothing... and shopping for clothes... and all of that. My shoes are so worn out there are almost holes straight through the sole. Some of my shirts I have had since I was in grade 6... same with my jeans now that I think about it. I would rather just find one thing I like and buy 3 of them and not have to worry for a while. Unfortunately that doesn't seem like the most socially acceptable thing to do. *Shrug* I basically wear t-shirts and jeans. I hate shorts or skirts/dresses... cant stand them. My clothing makes people think I am 8 years younger than I am, lol.

The only time I go shopping for new clothes is out of necessity never out of want. My family says I can look good but it's at the expense of my own comfort, which I value more than looking nice. So if it's not comfortable I wont get it, very picky indeed.

I can't stand them if they are "too busy" or they simply don't feel nice and soft. I also rarely buy things that are advertisements for other companies or teams. Like, you won't really see me in a Pepsi or Ambercrombi & Fitch t-shirt.

Also, loose jeans are the best. Tight clothing is just lame and makes me feel constricted.

I can only wear T shirts and shorts. In the winter if I must wear jeans I will run into my bedroom strip as soon as I get home and change into a pair of comfortable shorts. I can only wear jeans. No kakhis, no dockers, nothing. I can't wear long sleves either no matter how cold it is outside. I could never wear buttons since I was a little kid. I think it was becuase I found them so ugly. I have a long sleved button down Lion King shirt I am going to sell on eBay. The one Lion King shirt that probably fits that I could never wear. My sister-in-law told me that the Texas school won't let kids wear T shirts and all they can wear is collored button down shirts. I bet that would change if I went to school there or I would get kicked out. My T-shirts must have an animal of somekind on them or I won't wear them. No clothing store lables for me, and the Holister seagull dosen't coun't. No band T shirts either. The only excpetion is my Lion King logo T-shirts. I also have to have things several sizes larger. At first I thought it was because I had gained some weight than I realised I was always like that. I once went to Hot Topic because I learned they sold Invader Zim T shirts, only to find out that the largest size would only remotly fit an anereic person. I wish whoever designed Hot Topic's clothing would gain fifty pounds. Every T shirt I own has come from a zoo gift shop or a thrift store. There never have anything I like at deparment stores. I will not pay 50 dollars for a shirt with a store's logo on it. I am NOT a billboard. Zoo T-shirts are always pricey but at least they have things I like on them. My shorts are store bought because I can only wear snap close denium shorts and sometimes it is hard to find those at a regualr store. My parents always buy my clothes for me becuase I will not shop for them. They know what I like and don't like. Bras are so unfomfortable that I rarely wear one. Even in public.

Shop based on comfort, then durability. I am NOT known as a fashion maven, though I can be scrubbed up well enough.

I rarely buy clothes. I hate shopping for them and I'm really picky. Things just never feel right.

I'm not too picky - all I require is that the clothes fit well (basically that the shoulder area/armholes fit well and the rest isn't too tight) and that they're comfortable. At that point I can usually pick out outfits that look all right from what I own.

Pants I'm extremely picky about - no gaudy pockets or horrible patch-looking things that will be out of style in a month and clash with everything I own. Pretty much only dark skinny jeans, no baggy pants. I hate excess fabric floating around my feet unless they're sweatpants, which I barely wear anyway.

I can't wear wool either, for obvious reasons, or linen-cotton shirts (the exotic-bohemian looking ones), they just don't feel right against my skin. Giant beaded things with plastic threaded fishing line threaded through hurts my skin too.

I do love shopping, and will jump at the chance to go shopping, but I only buy things I love, nothing really out of necessity...

I am afraid of thrift store clothes, my girlfried use to work at a Value Village, and they would get some clothes from the hospital, some of them had bullet holes and blood on them eew
I normally wear lowrise bootcut jeans Lee's Dungeries, and black t-shirts
