Cant stop buying clothes

Why is buying dresses and heels so addictive. I just cant help myself recently ive now got more shoes and clothes than i have mans clothing and i have twice the amount of tights than i do socks. I wouldnt mind but i have run out of space in my hiding place. My parents are away this weekend so the urge to get more in is going to be hard to resist. Maybe one more dress wouldnt hurt. Does anybody else have urges like these?

Yup, I know how that is! I don't really have the cash at the moment to replace my male wardrobe but I sometimes cant help my self from running down and browsing. My closet is filling up with shoes.. soooo many shoes!

Hi Lucy

It's funny that you should ask this as over the weekend I asked my mum what did they put on womens clothes that makes buying them so addictive. Din't get an answer.

Love

I've actually restrained myself from going too overboard pretty well so far. But my closet IS starting to fill up... Shopping is really fun!

Clothes/Shoe shopping = "better than sex"

and of course "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" :D

It's just how girls brains are wired, just have to get the rest of the body to go along with it.

After saying I have some restraint, I've had two consecutive bad days at work and and am REALLY tempted for some retail therapy... lol

Well I certainly don't seem to have any self control.. I just bought a pair of pumps, and some more boots, plus a winter coat for next year (though its still suppose to snow this weekend). I really cant stop my self... lol

I definitely know where you're coming from! I'm really broke this month, so to save up money, I decided to skip my normal monthly grocery shopping trip and have been scrounging on whatever food I personally have left over, and any food my roommates have left over. I was catching up...and then I decided to just take a harmless little peek in a local shoe store having a sale. A couple pairs of heels and a few tops/skirts (to go with them) later, I realized I blew the money that would allow me to shop for food when next month hits.

Soooo, in essence, I'd rather buy clothes than eat.

I may have a problem... :P

I try to make sure every bill is paid for the month before I do any shopping. I make sure I keep some moneys for just in case and what left is MAD money. Mad money meaning to loose my mind spending it on cloths...lol..Usually I avoid most all retail places except clearance racks. Am a huge fan of thrift stores and have found some of the best cloths one could imagine. Am to the point were my amount of clothing has gone way past omg to straight up insane collection.. What can I say cloths rock.....

Ive never known a woman yet who doesnt love buying clothes. My missus wardrobe's bulging, she has more shoes than Imelda Markos - get used to it, its a woman thing, lol!

I am guilty as charged! I can not stop buying clothes, shoes, and now makeup!!! ...lol. I own more clothes now then when I was a "guy". I think it is because as a guy I felt I could not express my true slef and feelings like I do now. As a guy my clothes were just something to cover my body and now as a woman I see them as an expression of Me :rolleyes: .

Hugs,

Nicole

I went to Ulta for the first time this weekend to find Dermablend. Oh my Gawd! That is my new candy store!!! Clothes gottem', shoes gottem', purses gottem', make-up always running out. Lotza money? No gottem'. I hope I don't find a new job just to support Ulta... Oh, the life of the pretty girl.

Like Megan, I'm a thrift store junkie. As I weed out some of my clothes in our move, I think I will regift a lot of them. If they go back to the thrift store, I guess they were just a rental. Giggle.

Oh my, I to am a thrift store junky, always have been.....but now there is a whole new part of them I can shop in, uh oh. My thing isnt shoes but skirts and bras and hair ties with bows. This week I had to brake down and buy a 2nd dresser as I was out of room. Originally the two smaller half drawers at the top was going to house bras and camys in one and panties in the other......quickly found out that bras need to be moved down to a larger drawer. camys stayed in there own drawer, uh oh filled up the bra drawer....what to do with the two that are still in the bag sitting on my bed that I just bought *hangs head in shame* as for my skirts.....if I don't stop I will have to make this new dresser that I just bought on Wed, exclusively bras and skirts......Do I think I have a shopping problem just because the ladys at all the thrift stores in town know me by name? Or because my new dresser is almost full already? Nope hehe The only shopping problem I have is I didn't have time to go today hehe

This need for retail therapy is an addiction sometimes for me, yesterday I bought three new pairs of earrings at walmart, to go along with the 30 or so pairs I already own. But it sure is fun and it does validate the woman that I am.

arr the joys of retail therapy. I remember the day i had spent more on my girl wardrobe than my boy one (granted i hated shopping for boy stuff and usually ended up buying the cheapest stuff) and then i had to buy a suite for job interviews. This turned out to be a great excuse to spend more yay. However moving interstate in the near future and thinking i may have to cull some of my stuff aww. But yes shopping is addictive watch out :)

I love to shop, as well. My shopping (and buying) has changed quite a bit. I did a lot of thrift store shopping, early in my transition. I did allow me to save money when building my wardrobe. The great thing about thrift store shopping was that when i made horrific fashion mistakes, they are cheap horrific fashion mistakes.

Guitly as charge, I too am addictive to buying female clothes. When I was very much undercover and had to hide everything, I became very much addicted to buying all kinds of colorful and very feminine and sexy panties. I had bought many other clothing but not as many since it was more difficult to hide. Since my marriage is essentially over I will begin to buy all matter of female clothing; I will have to watch my finances. :)

Shopping for clothes is something I can't stop doing. Back in my younger days when I'd go into denial I'd purge and have to start all over again.

Good Grief the money that went into the garbage still breaks my heart. I will not do that again and I have quite an extensive wardrobe now. I only throw away damaged items, stockings panties etc.

I don't even get rid of clothing I don't particularly like because who knows I may change my mind. :) Like I've never done that before! :)

I'm kinda poor now so have to cut down on shopping and I hate it, I need more shoes, stocking, skirts , blouses , make-up , sad isn't it! :)

Hugs

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
