I enjoy the shopping experience, but only if I have something specific to buy (e.g. Dress. Wool. Dark red. Mid-length. Sleeves. Size XL.). Otherwise I don't care much.
In periods where I can't dress, having something to buy and looking for it has a compensating effect. In the sense that it makes it more bearable to not dress, should I feel the urge. Looking forward to dress with the item I received makes me happy and has some of the soothing effect that the dressing itself has. It eases the wait and the need recedes.
