I have never really liked shopping. I don't mind wandering around and looking at things, actually I love that. Aaron and I have spent tons of time window shopping. I just hate shopping for real. There are several factors in this. I don't like the way I look in most things. I actually have pretty good body image, but I am realistic enough to know that I am overweight. I plan on working on that, but pregnancy is not really the time to start a weight loss program! I do need to get out and exercise more, though! If the weather would just get and stay warm enough to take my kids out for walks it would be helpful!
I think more than weight is the money factor. Clothes are SO expensive! I hate to spend that kind of money on clothes when I'd rather get something fun. All three of my SILs think that clothes are fun, but I think they are just something to wear. Yes, I want to dress nicer and look better, but at the same time, I'd rather buy a game, movie or yarn! I just can't bring myself to buy clothes very often.
When this comes to shoes it is more a matter of fitting. I have REALLY wide feet. I do fine with tennis shoes, because I can wear men's shoes, but when I need a shoe that is actually designed for a woman, it is a nightmare! I just don't fit in them. Most women's' shoes are medium width. I can't even always fit into wide width. Once, we stopped at just about every shoe outlet between Utah and San Diego and I found ONE pair of shoes!! It's just insane. I think this is a huge part of why I hate to wear shoes. I'd rather just go barefoot or with Crocs than anything else!

I'm not a big clothes shpper either. I'd rather get scrapbook supplies. Good luck selling your home. When we were selling ours last year I put on MLS that I needed at least 30 minutes notice. I was preg. when we moved as well. Not so fun, but you'll do great!
I always think about changing my wardrobe, but like you I just can't bring myself to spend the money. How frustrating about the shoes!
The money issue is why I LOVE yard sales and thrift stores. I can buy several new outifts used for the same price as buying one new shirt. But I'm like you, I'd still rather spend my money on other things.
