Nope. However, I've bought several dresses or shirts that wind up sitting in my closet for a week or 2 with tags on them and never get worn so I end up returning them.
I'll admit I have. But RARELY, and the only time I can think of was recently for Halloween. It was a huge red coat from Target for my costume and it wasn't something I'd wear again in my
regular wardrobe. It was only $40, but it was in great condition when I returned it. I only wore it for 2 hours. Everything else I've bought with the intention to wear and keep.
I would never do this because it's stealing! It doesn't surprise me when teens do it because they're young and stupid (no offense to any teens out there; it's just that I was a teen only a
couple years ago and all my friends did this), but for any adult to do this is not only tacky but wrong and a little pathetic...
I used to work at BCBG, and people did this all the time - it was so disgusting and tacky, I hated that I had to actually take the stuff back even though it had blatantly been worn.
Dresses would come back stinking of smoke/booze/perfume/BO, with deodorant caked into the armpits, and the women would say to me, "What? The tags are still on it!" And there's no way we can
sell something on the floor in that condition - it has to be sent back as a damaged item.
So, anyone who says "I'm just borrowing it", you're not, you're stealing it, because while you may not have the garment anymore, that store you 'borrowed' it from has lost an item and the
chance to actually make a sale.
Plus the girl that sold it to you, if those sales people get commissions, just lost her commission. So I guess you're 'borrowing' from her paycheck, too.

Cat Deeley looked casual and cute outside the BBC Radio One studios in London. She wore Hudson black skinny jeans and kept warm with a feminine white pom pom scarf and soft green leather jacket (similar in color to this one by Tory Burch), adding a Pauric Sweeney python bag and tough combat boots to give the look more of an edge.

I might if I thought I could get away with it!
But I've never actually done that.

2I wish I could but I don't think I have it in me.
3Wow. After re-reading this question (and voting wrong) I finally realized what you were asking.
It's been a long day already!
I would never do this. Even though I voted yes, but that was before I actually understood the question.
Stupid Mondays.
4hahaha- Laua220- I made the same mistake!
5I would never. If you can't afford to keep it, don't buy it. There's always cheaper options out there.
6it's never really occurred to me...what would you do with the tags?
7I bought a pair of grey jeans I liked, but then I saw two other pairs I liked more two days later, I ended up returning the grey ones.
8no — TACKY
9No way! I would hate if I ended up being the one that bought the garment after someone else already wore it out!
10Terrible.

13yes i have. i cant afford to buy the items i want so every now and again i borrow from the stores.
14No, for me the fun in buying something is knowing you can wear it again!
15i have once i needed a dress for a dinner like asap so i went to the mall and got one and returned it b/c i knew i'd never wear it again

If you can't afford something, don't buy it.
17A couple of times I thought I would do that, then ended up keeping the item anyway because I couldn't bear to give it back
