I love shopping with a group of friends as a social activity. I have to do it purely social though...for the company, the laughs and perhaps the sights. I sometimes buy for myself, but it's usually impulse buys and nothing of any significance. Oddly enough, I love helping other people shop (I have spent many, many years working in retail!) for clothing. Men, women, doesn't matter. I will be honest, I will be helpful and I will help friends make good decisions. It's fun.

BUT, if I need something? I go alone. I don't like to stroll in malls when I have something that needs doing. In fact, it is the one place on the planet where I walk faster than my husband. I think it's because I get sensory overload and I do my best to create tunnel vision for myself and focus only on my goal. Get in, get out, get on with my life. (Chili's stole that slogan from me!).
