Since I work in a dirty place, most of my work clothes has got paint and oil stains on it. Every now and again I forgot and wear a nice shirt to work and then it gets damaged. My little portfolio of good clothes is shrinking steadily.
And I hate shopping for clothes. I've now reached a point where I am unable to go for two weeks without washing.

I think the key to updating your wardrobe is to go one piece at a time and to buy things you can use for multiple outfits.
I also donate the same amount of clothes as I buy-- out with the old, in with the new.
If you set your mind on buying 1 pair of darkwash jeans that fit well, you may be in the store for 5 minutes or an hour depending on if you actually try things on.
Those jeans can be worn in a number of different situations and as long as they fit well, you should feel good in them.
Clothes can be difficult for some people.
My brother hates to shop but he's very concerned with wearing brand name clothes and looking stylish. -__-

I have problem with how I look , especially with my clothes.. I have not buy any new clothes in years and I am too scared because of social anxiety.. So I look real weird and daggy.. This is one of the reason I don't like go outside.. Anyone else has this problem?
Yes!! Me too! This is somehow a big problem, and it really prevents me from going outside. Same thing with hair, style in general. I haven't bought new clothes in at least 3 years, no wonder I still look 16. Buying clothes is so anxiety provoking, it combines every fear I have, fear of spending money, committing to something, putting myself out there / trusting my own opinion, decision making, facing my appearance and body image, alarm bells ahhhhh too much!! I'd rather look like a bum and just try to forget I have an image at all! But then somebody throws a sly hint that you look unkept and it's back to the house for a few.. weeks...

Yeah I experience that. Well, I actually am a compulsive shopper. Like once a year I'll go out and completely change my wardrobe. I do it because I get so nervous that I don't look right, so I change. But even when I'm compulsively shopping, I avoid even trying on clothes because there are too many people in the dressing room. A few months ago I was just going to try on one item, and I ran out of the dressing room because I heard someone come in. But yet, I don't feel comfortable in my clothes. I'm thinking of just making my own clothes so I will be fully content. If you like your clothing, your confidence will most likely go up.

Clothes shopping is something that I actually have been having the opposite problem with. I'm kind of addicted. :x Cosmetics are the other thing I spend probably too much money on. I think I do it as an excuse to get out and do something rather than stay inside on my laptop all day and night. Maybe if I had more of a social life, I could go out and do things with friends for cheap instead of emptying my wallet.

decent clothing is about all I've got going for me in terms of looks.
Yeah, I hate shopping for clothes. Outside of work - I'm usually dressed in either a suit or business casual - I've been wearing the same kind of stuff since I was in university: dark coloured T-shirts, jeans and trainers.
I always feel awkward whenever I look at anything that's little more fashionable or stylish. I feel the same whenever I try and dress a little smarter for going out.
It just feels like those clothes don't belong on me. That the look just wouldn't be right. I get really self-conscious and head back to what I'm comfortable with wearing.
When you don't have confidence in your looks, your body or the clothes you wear, it becomes painfully obvious (or at least that's how I feel).

I don't know if it's obvious, but when I don't feel good in my clothes I think people think I look like crap
... which is normal I guess....

Re: Drab
I used to be the same way. I was just too shy to wear the things I wanted to, and I was afraid to stand out. But I have found that wearing the things I like has improved my self-esteem and makes me happier. I feel my best when I wear a pretty dress; wearing jeans just doesn't do it for me. It took a couple steps to get to a place where I felt comfortable enough to wear the things I wanted to. I used to buy dresses just to have them hang in my closet unworn; it was a waste. So, I began forcing myself to wear these things.
You already wear the fun eyeliner :: just add pieces one at a time, like a purse, or shoes, or accessories. It really does make all the difference in how we feel about ourselves. Well, that has been my experience.

Ah, that sounds awesome! I have been wanting to learn how to sew. I would like to make dresses from vintage patterns as I like the style a lot. (I want your grandma's old clothes! lol...)

I hate clothes shopping. I don't know what I like to wear o.o I can't make a decision arghh@@@!!
Its hard enough to get yourself to look through clothes in a shop, but actually picking one, I have no idea
And same like many of you I don't have many options either. I always seem to wear the same colour, and its always the same 2 pair of jeans o.o
Its really nice to read descriptions of myself in this site ^^ Its like no one understands me everywhere else
