    I buy about 99% of my clothing on line (both regular and cycling). There are only 3 stores I can shop at, in terms of size and one is about 3 miles from my house; if I need something in a rush, or I get the urge to shop, I go there, by myself. I have occasionally gone shopping with one friend to help choose a special outfit, but I get bored and annoyed. All of my friends have different taste than me.
    Sine I started riding, I don't shop "recreationally" anymore. I used to spend a lot of time at the mall.

    I've never really enjoyed shopping or shopping with friends. I, too, mostly buy online. I used to go to the mall in downtown Indy when I still lived downtown for a shopping spree of sorts, but since moving away, I never do that anymore. My wardrobe, as a result, is starting to look a little worn. I need some things for work, but it's so hard to find appropriate pieces.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    I do a lot of my shopping online, unless it's jeans/pants or dressy clothes. Those I have to buy in-store unless I know roughly what I'm getting. I'll shop with a friend, because I am terrible at the "what looks good" game, but not with a group.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I don't like shopping, and I certainly don't like shopping as a social activity. Occasionally I enjoyed going to a bookstore with my mother, but that's about it.

    I live in an area with many tourists and there's a popular off-price department store nearby. Shopping there is miserable because (understandably) tourists are very often shopping in large groups. It's not a spacious store to begin with, and six or eight people crowded around a small rack of coats make shopping an even more tiresome experience.

    Probably saved me a bit of money when the tourists crowds in this store increased.
