I, for one, don't shop in large groups of girls. They annoy me. Now....I'm just talking about shopping for clothes, purses, etc. Not grocery shopping or something like that, lol. I actually prefer to shop by myself. (Note: I do like shopping with my sister because we leave each other alone, that is until we have something cute to show the other :-). Here's my top reasons why I shop alone...
1. I'm more comfortable. I'm very relaxed alone...chill mode all the way. :-)
2. I only look at items within my budget. I'm NOT balling.
3. I think clearer. This may sound crazy, but it's true. I need a clear mind when I shop. Mentally, I'm scanning my closet thinking of what I need.
4. I don't have to go to stores I wouldn't normally shop in...I like going to Forever 21 not Coach. I'm NOT balling out of control as I said before & I'm not about to front. #imjustsaying
5. I don't like to be rushed. If I want to spend 2 hours in F21 so be it....
6. I'm selfish when it comes to shopping for myself. I don't want to have to consider/go in stores another woman may like. I just want to go in the stores that interest me & then go home. #thatisall

This is all I can think of for right now. I may have missed some.

i like shopping alone for the same reasons as u. PLUS, whenever im shopping with a friend we almost always leave with the same item. maybe in a different color but the same damn thing.
a benefit to shopping with others is that i do go in stores i normally wouldnt. SOMETIMES it's a store i never considered or a store that turned me off but on this one off occasion i actually find something. that is few and far between and not worth the risk of the other situations u mentioned, but just throwing that out there.
I totally agree! Concentration is a big thing for me! I like to stand in the dressing room mirror and look at the outfit from every angle. Sometimes I’ll scan a store 3-4 times before making my purchases. And its nothing for me to be out all day shopping. I think of it was me time, which I don’t get much of.
Plus my friends and I don’t have to same style, so it’s hard for us to go shopping together. I might go take a stroll through the mall with my friends or the boo, but I’m not seriously shopping, you know?
@Antithesis Wow, the same thing? I would HATE that. lol
@Birdie I totally agree! lol, i will scan a store like 5 times. Seriously. I can be out all day too, but you can do that when you're alone. ;-)
I typically like shopping alone too. If I am with someone else, and we are going primarily for their shopping needs...then I'll act as a tag along.
Otherwise, if I want to spend time in one store and debate over a shoe for 30 minutes...I can do that.
Plus, I hate to say it but sometimes I don't want to be asked if "this is cute" or not.
Plus, like you said, I don't like going into stores that I hate and have to suffer in there. I don't shop at Loft so it's gonna bore me to death to go in there! lol
We are selfish!
I agree with all of the above! It sucks when you go out to shop with someone and they are taking forever in a store you hate or vice versa!
ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think about this all the time. I like to shop for clothes by myself, unless it's something really special like and outfit for a special event or something, but even then.... I've noticed that with my friends they usually end up walking behind me waiting on me to finish shopping. I hate that. I love to spend hours in a store too lol. Like the other day I was doing some thrifting with my mom and she was just waiting on me the whole time to finish. I need to do some thrifting on my own time. I wouldn't even do it with my friends anyway because they wouldn't dare go into a thrift store. *gasp* Oh well... more goodies for me!
