Online shopping is becoming more and more appealing with each trip I make to a shopping center.
After 5 hours of shopping over the weekend, which included 2 shopping centers (both around 30 minuets apart, browsing in over 20 stores, trying on approximately 10 items and purchasing only 2... I can confidently say, I hate shopping in stores!!!
This is my list of pet peeves when it comes to shopping
1. CHANGE ROOMS, especially the ones without doors. Curtains just don't cut it... I don't want to try on jeans when there is a gap of around 5cm each side of the curtain meeting the wall. I don't want to be flashing my booty to shoppers anymore than they want to be looking at it! I also hate change rooms that are painfully small, or have no hooks to hang the clothing.
2. ANNOYING SHOP ASSISTANTS. I know they have a job to do... I work in a sales based job - so I know about targets and all that jazz, but seriously, some of these girls need to take a Valium. One chain store in particular is notorious for having the girl at the checkout trying to 'up sell' at least 3 times before even starting the transaction. Or the shop assistant who will follow you around and within half a second of me putting something back on the shelf or rack, she will readjust it. Or the one who pops her head in the change room 5 times to ask how everything is going... the list is endless
3. CRAMPED STORES, whether its the actual racks that have so much on them that you can not pull out one coat hanger without 20 falling off, or those stores that have the racks so close together that you can not walk through in single file, let alone when someone else is standing in your way. Fashion store designers should know that most ladies have handbags the size of a small child, not to mention the fact that we are probably carrying another 2 or 3 shopping bags as well. If I cannot even fit through, how are all my bags going to?
4. DISCOUNTS. Sure, I love discounts... but I want the tag to clearly say the final price. I don't want to have to try and work out what 30% off is.
5. OTHER SHOPPERS. Maybe I'm just really anti-social, but please do not ask me if I think something looks good on you. And don't wait for me to come out of the change room, to ask me if you can try on that skirt that I'm still holding in my hands. And do not judge when you see me pick up something that you may think is hideous.
So with that, here are a few of my favourite online stores that I have personally purchased things from;
