It is depends on which I want to buy. If I need to buy supplies. I usually buy it on JD

Due to my short and thin figure, hard to find clothes suit for me. Clothing for summer I don’t like buying expensive one, because it needs to wash everyday in summer,but for coat , or shoes I would rather buy expensive and which is not obsolete easily. I only decide to buy things when I need it. I never had an impulsive shopping since I’ve been making money by myself.
