I don't buy any clothes from retail store, all resale shops.

But I'm not a teen anymore so I guess I don't count.

Sorry economy that some of us don't want to buy a new pair of $50 pants every two weeks.

last time i bought cloths was in april, i got 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, and a shirt for $46.

I guess i haven't been wasting enough money.
