Shopping Frustrations

Once again it has been such a long time sine my last entry, but I felt like I had nothing to talk about. However, it's not true because I'm currently planning my wedding for next October! As I get into more planning, I do plan on trying to blog about some planning tips or just simply any ideas that may help anyone.
 
Why I felt I wanted to make a post today was the frustration of shopping. I can't be the only woman who doesn't enjoy shopping. It doesn't matter if I have an idea of what I'm looking for or just going for something to do, it doesn't end well in my favor. Today I had the goal to find a new foundation, jeans, fall clothes, and possibly some bath products. I was even okay with spending slightly too much money. What happened instead? Not many good fall clothes, couldn't find any of my sizes, they were out of my foundation shade, and every bath product had strange smells.
 
This is always a reoccurring problem for me. After a work week, I have the urge to go to stores and shop. However, I've always dealt with an anxiety with stores and people. I can feel comfortable going to maybe 3 places and then I feel like I need to hide myself away again. When you add traffic due to construction (also a problem in Michigan once the snow is gone), that need to hide myself away strengthens. A great option is of course online shopping, but I'm one of those shoppers that like to try on things to make sure things fit or, for the case of make-up, making sure the colors are right.
 
I just needed to rant about the fact that it's hard for me to handle shopping and the fact that when I do go, It always ends with me finding nothing at all in my size/style/color. I hope there's others who share my same struggle.
