There are pros and cons to shopping both online and in store and I think women benefit from having access to both.
online shopping is 24/7 meaning you can beat the hustle and bustle of the first day of sales, stay in bed to shop, shop whilst your on holiday or unwell and it also means you can go into as many ‘virtual shops’ as you like, without having to walk potential miles amidst other stressed shoppers/angry and bored husbands/screaming children.
Shopping online also means women can buy their ‘true’ size, not the size they tell their friends and the shop assistants they are, which means they’re buying clothes that fit them better which is always good. Shopping online gives women a huge amount of freedom and is very quick and easy. It also means that you have to convenience of someone delivering it to your door or to your work.
My favorite thing about shopping online is the fact you are in control of your spending. Shops are set out in a way that makes you want to spend more then you have with the added temptation of store cards. Shopping online means you can plan outfits, consider what you actually need and browse lots of websites until your happy.
Of course the downsides are the postage charges and the unfortunate instances where the garment is ‘not right’ or doesn’t fit. I think for special occasions, women benefit more shop reality shopping as opposed to virtual, meaning the important outfit can be tried and tested against skin tone etc. women who buy important outfits like wedding dresses (!) need to be given a stern talking to!
Online shopping means you can pick up the odd bargain, take your time and even shop naked of it takes your fancy! However there are definite pluses to reality shopping too, being able to try thing on, seeing what else is available and of course the thrill of shopping itself which, it has to be said, is always more enjoyable when your in a shop, as opposed to in your bed/on the bus late at night and shopping. The actuality of shopping makes us feel happy and I think for sure than ‘going shopping’ on a spree is one of the most enjoyable experiences for a woman. opening a serviced office to launch some of my products
