I go shopping: to be in trend or just to be different?

Whenever we have extra cash, the first thing that we do is to go shopping. If you go shopping, would you pick clothes, gadget, etc. to be in trend or be different? For me, every time I go shopping, I usually pick clothes that are trendy yet different from the usually. Same thing goes with gadgets and accessories.. I believe that I make other people happy, whenever they see me wearing different style from usual. How about you? Happy to hear your thought... Thanks! Happy MyLotting!

I don't want to be different.I always feel that my money is not enough for me to use.So if I have extra cash,I would like to save it for the future to use.I'm afraid of living a life that is short of money.

since i am on a creative bent in every aspect of my life, i usually go for things that are a little off the wall. i tend to be different from others and dress that way and act that way too. i usually shop at thrift stores for my clothes actually when i am in need of stuff.

The truth is..i buy what i like. I don't care what someone else is wearing. True enough, we look at what others is wearing; but if you are not comfortable in wearing what you have on, then what is the point? I like t-shirts, blouses, and jeans. That is my basic wear, so that is what i usually buy. For going somewhere, i still choose, what i like, and not what someone else is going to be wearing.

Well, I do love shopping and I usually buy clothes that are comfortable to wear and something that fits me well.. I always don't go for trendy clothes because i don't want to wear the same clothes as the others.. i would like to be different..

I go shopping to treat myself and to buy my needs.I buy clothes from secondhand and vintage stores.it is a treat and a need for me.I don't earn lot of money,but I love clothes.good thing these secondhand and vintage stores offer unique finds that are really beautiful.I feel great because I am probably the only person in this world that owns that item.

Hi, i see, you really like shopping and keep yourself in track with the trend and fashions. It is good that you're enjoy doing these. For me, if i have the extra cash, i would prefer to either save it, or use part of it to buy the things i need, or the things i've been wanted. Shopping for me is just per needed only, and i actually do not care much about keeping with the trend of clothing or fashion accessories. It is fine for me to be just casual and simple. Happy mylotting!~

For me,when i have extra cash,i would really prefer to save it then used it.But i will also go to shopping if i need to,and when searching for clothings,i will pick those clothes that suits me and must not be out of fashion.Yup i do believe that you do make other's happy as they could see you wearing different styles and they may start following the way you wear! Haha.

Wow, i really didn't believe that i'm typing my comments again. I really think that myLot is having network problems again. geez! Well, on my first try in here, I just said that I want to be trendy than to be different. It feels for good to me if I wear such trendsetter clothes, it keeps me fashionable.

Actually if I have extra cash, the first thing that would come to my mind is to go shopping. If not shopping, to buy something that I want that not exactly that I needed tho. If I go shopping for fashion, I tend to buy clothes which are trendy than different. It makes me feel so good if I'm one of those trendsetter though.

I pick clothes that have simple, classic lines. That way I can wear them for as long as I want and not feel like I'm completely out of style. As for gadgets, I get what I want because I like it. It works for me! :- )
