Being taken shopping

My DF has offered several times to take me clothes shopping. I usually buy second hand and am struggling at the moment to find anything to wear. My DF only wants to help me and make my life easier, the thing is that I do not understand what 'take me shopping for clothes' means. Does it mean buy a dress, a whole new wardrobe, something to wear to go out for dinner? I haven't asked DF these questions as I become immediately stressed, overwhelmed and start crying. He says he thinks that I think I don't deserve new clothes but I don't think this is the reason. I haven't bought myself any clothes new [other than undies] for about thirty years. I am getting upset writing this. So, yes I probably am being unreasonable and expect to be slated but here goes...it's advice I need really.

Well we did it and thanks to the advice from you all, it wasn't an ordeal [for me anyway]. I looked online at the suggested shops, made a note of what I liked and went armed with my research and a budget of more than I had anticipated. We only managed to buy one dress [Tiger Vine Simone dress from Fat Face] nothing else I had made a note of was in stock or in my size but today I went into Next and bought a linen dress with no problem at all [an unresearched dress!] and I've also been into Mistral to try stuff on and plan on taking DFiance there to buy the reversible skirt with tents on one side and feathers on the other. I know what I want now and am no longer intimidated by the shops. Thanks everyone Smile
