Why do I hate shopping ? When I was young I used to love going shopping and always found loads of clothes I liked, although I couldn't always afford to buy them. When I go shopping now - middle-aged and a little larger (not much, 12-14) I really HATE it. I never see anything I like, the colours are too drab or everything looks too mumsy or too young, I just don't see anything whatever the price. I come home feeling really depressed. I went to the Sales today, had one look around the John Lewis clothes dept and came straight home. Is this natural in post menopausal women ? I would rather look at things for the home than clothes and shoes. And yet I like to look nice for my age, I always have my hair done and wear make up when I go out. I would rather shop in second hand shops yet I have the money to pay for anything - within reason - at any department store.

Hi smurfchops. I'm exactly like you, I hate clothes shopping in shops mainly because I can't imagine what a piece of clothing hanging on a hanger will look like on. I now shop in catalogues or on-line. There seems to be a large range of clothes at all prices and in many colours.
have you been in New Look lately? They have improved alot, unlike Next which has gone downhill.
look at Monsoon on-line.......they have some nice gear for all ages.......and the accessories to match.

ignore NOK.....he only goes to Top Shop to hang around the changing rooms..........

I used to love Wallis, Monsoon, those type of shops, but they don't seem to interest me any more .... someone on Grumpy Old Women said exactly the same as me a few weeks ago, which made me feel more normal !
