Shopping Styles: Shiny things!

13 › 
Black Onyx and 1.00 ct.... Catena Wall Clock Black Ops Assassin...
Talking with another Kaboodler *waves to ice_skater*, I was reminded of my love of all things shiny. This list, featuring the more expensive products that I'll probably never buy, is just another example of that. 

I can't say if I've got good taste or not, but I do know I have expensive taste. If I ever marry a rich man, I feel really sorry for him. It's kind of sad to say that too, because I genuinely hate shopping. I don't do shopping trips. I do search and rescue missions: get in, acquire your targets, and get out. I really have to pay attention when I'm doing that though, because more often than not the first thing I pick up is the more expensive item (and not so good for my very low budget). Curse you shiny things!!!

So what about you? What's your shopping style?

  • I'm especially fond of really unique, one-of-a-kind items, especially when they have some sort of history... especially sad, homely items I think no one else will take home. And I will never pass by a clearance rack. I'm a treasure hunter, and a bargain hunter. Report Spam Posted by sorapandora at 2:35 PM on 05/12/11

  • I am sort of like @sorapandora. I love finding treasures, something that not everyone has. I guess that's why I like yard sales & thrift stores! Report Spam Posted by luv2kreate at 2:50 PM on 05/12/11

  • LOL @saifai! I love unique finds! And I, too, pity the man who takes me on! LOL.. I have expensive taste too--a knack for picking out something just because it's pretty and catches my eye, and then I find out that charming set of earring is over $60K. I'll post an example, since it just happened the other day! LOL. Love the shiny!!! Bring on the bling! Report Spam Posted by ice_skater at 3:15 PM on 05/12/11

  • hahahaha I always pick the most expensive item without knowing it in the store.. then I weep and cry about how I can't buy it - yes I relate to you a lot - on the the other side of the coin, I love to find unique and special items and to score on sales/deals but that takes SO much more work (although often most pleasurable when I'm successful) Report Spam Posted by sweetshorty at 3:40 PM on 05/12/11

  • you would hate to shop with me cause I have to see everything first before going back to a must have!...LOL...and if you have known me long enough here you know I love to score quality items at thrift stores and/or on clearance at dept. stores for very low prices....I don't enjoy trying on clothing at stores,but if not returnable,then do so...am drawn to purses/bags;especially leather bags and sheer voile or cotton blouses to wear over camis or tanks...

  • I totally hate shopping in a mall with the music and florescent lights, I even hate Costco, big places freak me out and I run away like a scared antelope as fast as I can. Being on K and making styleboards I find it really fun to add the very best to some of my lists. I just did a board with a $3000 dollar skirt and I added a tee shirt that was a bit pricey too. I love expensive jewelry and have a $93,000 dollar ruby ring (think it cost that much) on a list. I do hate to do real shopping and I hate clutter which I have way too much of, but it would be fun to be rich, and maybe shop online. Report Spam Posted by markblemish at 5:54 PM on 05/12/11

  • Shiny things are so hard to keep clean! :) I'm really pretty eclectic in my tastes. I love coral and turquoise though. Report Spam Posted by sweans at 6:25 PM on 05/12/11

  • @sweans--I love turquoise and coral together. Report Spam Posted by ice_skater at 6:27 PM on 05/12/11

  • @ice_skater me too! Report Spam Posted by sweans at 6:33 PM on 05/12/11

  • belive it or not I dont like dimonds, but love other gem stones (I know it's sick lol) Report Spam Posted by lissln at 5:00 AM on 05/13/11

  • Haha, i love it! Search and Rescue missions! Well said! I don't really make shopping trips either... I think i kind of wander into shops and "adopt" items... like walking past a pet store window and seeing the cutiest little puppy that needs a home to call his own. I tend to shop by color (green green green) and buy things that just make me FEEL good... weather i have room for them or not! Report Spam Posted by calypsoart at 4:43 PM on 05/13/11

  • I love and need way too much lol Report Spam Posted by kshoffman at 12:47 PM on 05/15/11
