It’s so easy to sit down at the computer and browse the online fashion sites, much easier than trawling the shops, that’s for sure. It’s all there at your fingertips, every size, and every colour, zoom in, zoom out, then pop it in the basket. It’s all so convenient; it’s even delivered to your door.

Herein lies the problem. It arrives, you excitedly open the package and immediately try it on. It doesn’t fit right, hang right or look right, the colour isn’t you and if you were in a shop you would have immediately rejected it on so many levels. Then you have got to get it sent back when you can find the time and wait two weeks until your money comes back.

If its lotions and potions or jewellery then online works for me but clothes and shoes I prefer the old fashioned method.
