Do you like to shop alone or with friends?

Shopping with friends can be fun but sometimes I feel like I can’t look a store over as completely as I’d like. For stores with a wider range of stock like Forever21 or Goodwill, I feel like I can go through all the different items better by myself.

I like shopping with friends when browsing but if I actually need something then I like shopping alone. It's more efficient.

SOLITUDE is the way to go for me LOL, my friends get frustrated with me because I'm the type of person that needs to look through every single item in a store before I will willingly walk away. This way I feel like I am buying the best product in the store and won't have missed out on something I may have really liked. I agree about Forever 21, and also H&M is another store I take my time in. And same with thrifting, a lot of people just don't have the patience and it's just easier for me to go alone.

Definately alone! Things get done quicker, you don't feel like you're being rushed because you're making them bored plus no distractions! :)))

shopping alone means I don't feel pressured to hurry, but I definitely hate enduring the stares of salespeople alone.

It really depends for me.
Sometimes, I just need some alone shopping time, but other times, I need a friend to hold me back from buying too much... = ="

Most of the time I shop with my sister, and because we're both blunt/honest with each other we end up buying clothes we both agree on :)

alone, most of the time, though i'm starting to appreciate shopping with a person whose judgement and taste you trust (like my sister or boyfriend).

I've been told I turn into a different person when I walk into a department store, aha. But that being said, I like shopping with friends. I think I'm more prone to make daring fashion decisions when I have someone to be silly with.

I like browsing with my friends, but if I'm actually getting stuff I'll go alone, or I'll go with my mom or dad because they give me honest opinions unlike my friends who say I look good in anything when I don't

Alone for sure :)
The way I shop tends to annoy people. I walk back and forth around the store about 6x, picking up things and walking around with them until I realize I don't want/need it and put it back. I'm really indecisive so I take a while.
It's easier to focus and not worry about their boredom or if they want to leave the store yet
when you shop alone.

I used to only go shopping with someone else, but I always felt rushed. I felt like i couldn't go through the whole store, so I normally ended up going home with nothing. Besides, I would always keep my opinions to myself about clothes I liked unless they agreed, cause they had a tendency to hate the things i liked. Therefore I prefer to go shopping alone, but i also enjoy shopping with my boyfriend. He's really patient with me and understands that I love shopping. He also has some very good opinions and i'm not afraid to pick out something I like with him :)

Definitely alone, so I'm not pressured to buy (rather embarrassing to try something on, friends say it looks good on you, then return it to the rack). I usually sleep on purchases (just come back for it if I keep thinking bout it) -- it gives me an excuse to go back shopping :) Also, I think my friends would hate on me since I take so long and I walk around too much :)

I'm an annoying shopper (and yes, I annoy myself somehow by doing this) but I will find something I like, then another thing, then not want to spend too much money at that one store so I'll put the first thing down, then realize I don't look good in the second thing so I pick up the first thing again, then I go to try it on, THEN I buy it. I feel rushed when I'm with friends so I prefer to go shopping alone, lol. :-)

I get really stressed out when I'm shopping with my mother, and the problem is that I buy more stuff when I'm with her, so I do it anyways. I love going shopping with my one particular friend, because she always tells me if something doesn't fit me well or it's ugly. But most of all, I love going shopping alone, because then I do double shopping in an hour than I would do if anyone was with me, there's nothing bothering me and I just enjoy it. :)

Depend on my mood.
Best thing about shopping with friends is they can give opinion about clothes you wanna buy. But I prefer alone, because I don't like to be bother.
