dollfan Posted March 25, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Shoes, and swim suits for me. But I also go for a new formal or dinner dress if I catch a great sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claroquesi Posted March 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Formal dresses and skirts (only if I can get a deal). I have to walk by every shoe store for the 2 months leading up saying to myself; "I have enough shoes...I have enough shoes....". It is REALLY hard this time with the easter sandals just out (sigh!).

sandytoesrose Posted March 25, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It's whatever I happen to need. Maybe it's a swimsuit. Maybe it's a new dress for formal night. I seem to buy new sandals every year. I like to shop on my cruise, and have purchased a hat, sundress, purse, and beach cover up and t-shirt on various cruises.

Bethwte Posted March 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Whatever it is that I found myself saying "god, I wish I'd bought this for this trip!" example: On my feb cruise I was wishing the whole time that I'd bought a new pair of sunglasses (as my old ones looked dated, and to be honest dont even fit my face anymore! lol) so as soon as I got home I went and bought a pair for this April :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted March 26, 2005 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I try not to, but I usually end up with at least one new formal outfit for every cruise. I keep an album of just formal shots and don't want to be wearing the same dress twice! I've learned not to buy a bunch of new clothes for daytime, I'm more comfortable in clothing and shoes I'm already used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted March 26, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Umm let's see... 2 formal gowns, outfits for every day, 4 swimsuits and evening outfits.. shoes... OK I need all of it. I had two babies in two years and I am not as large as I used to be but I am not the size 10 I was two years ago either. With the marathon training who knows what will happen to my bod before fall but I suspect a size ten is right out ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folashade Posted March 26, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 26, 2005 The question is what don't I buy. Always new flip flops/thongs, at least one formal since I have to go to formals often for work so I can "write it off". always at least one new bathing suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper_beeches Posted March 26, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I've learned not to buy a bunch of new clothes for daytime, I'm more comfortable in clothing and shoes I'm already used to. I'll always reach for the items I've already worn many times, over new items for day wear... it's something about already knowing exactly how they fit and look, plus, they're broken in. I had to get some new things for April, and I've been wearing them around the house to get properly comfortable in them, lol... most people say they're excited to wear new clothes on the cruise, glad I'm not the only one who prefers the old!

wantacruise Posted March 28, 2005 #14 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Anything and everything I can buy using the excuse of a cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnAB Posted March 28, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Okay, Zcat, I'm curious now! What facial cleaner and body wash? Anything particularly interesting? I'm fanatical about being clean and feeling fresh, and since I live in South Florida I take a lot of showers to cool off and freshen up. I'm always looking for new special products. Thanks, Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted March 28, 2005 #16 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I usually buy as much as I can get away with.....from DH. LOL Really, I normally buy shoes, at least one new swimsuit and formal, and several casual outfits for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Mom Posted March 30, 2005 #17 Share Posted March 30, 2005 We booked our July cruise in January and have been picking up stuff here and there ever since. I find it hard to find dresses, skirts, and bathing suits that fit me well so I look and look all the time. I just bought a cute little coral/pink a-line dress for dinner at Mervyn's (on sale for $26). Buying a little at a time makes it more affordable too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted March 31, 2005 #18 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I always buy pretty panties for our cruises - my thinking is if I get injured or something, the conversation in the emergency room will go something like this: "Too bad about that lady's injury, but did you see the pretty panties she was wearing?" :) I also make it a habit to get another pretty negligee or two - and usually give one as a "gift" to my husband. :o Just my little cruise ritual. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted March 31, 2005 #19 Share Posted March 31, 2005 SUNBLOCK!!! The effectiveness of sublock expires, so I always buy a fresh tube before going on a cruise. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGal Posted March 31, 2005 #20 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I've bought a few things so far - - 2 swim suits - 3 tanks - 1 pair of capris - a new straw bag - sunglasses - travel steam iron (the new rowenta one) - swim suit cover-up - books I can think of a ton more new things I need too - like good walking shoes, I am so picky!

ventura43 Posted March 31, 2005 #21 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I buy underwear, too! :) Just ordered a half dozen of my favorites and I'll save them for the cruise in three weeks. Also...at least one pair of shoes, maybe a jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted March 31, 2005 #22 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I always buy at least one new bra from Victoria's Secret and of cours, so tropical print panties from there also. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
