I am talking about the shopping done in malls,-- physically going from store to store, trying on clothes, waiting in line, writing a check, etc. etc. For me, it's a waste of valuable time.
Luckily I have discovered online clothes shopping. Much to husband's chagrin, I have no aversion to shopping on line. I love to click, click, click and within the week boxes appear full of wonderful items like these that I ordered today:
I am in need of brightly colored jackets for summer. I think my early morning shopping spree turned up a few nice ones. (Yes, I did buy two of the very same jacket, only different colors. I do that all the time.)
This whole order took less than 15 minutes of my time.
I know many of you are probably thinking that it's very expensive to order online with all those shipping charges. I admit it can be. But I only buy when they are on sale for at least 50% off. If I can buy them for about the same as it would cost at the local JC Penney (which is about the only clothing store I shop in), then I click without regret.
I know online shopping is not for everyone, but I am so happy that I discovered it!
I love the first 2 jackets! I buy way too much jean stuff. I love the style and the color of the second one. I love actual shopping but only a few times a year.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, kiddo! I despise shopping.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you didn't make that lemon coconut cake. I was about to hop on over for a slice.
love the color of the first pink jacket! I have a daughter that hates to shop, too. She does some/most of her shopping on-line, or takes her sister who DOES have the shopping gene!
ReplyDeleteMmm. Coldwater Creek. Love the fact that you can get on their e-mailer and they will tell you when the stuff is on sale. Whee!
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm getting old - didn't you just show us the cute jackets you were ordering from Coldwater Creek for fall/winter???? I am not doing well at keeping up. :) These are all beautiful - I love the colors. When I find something I like, I often buy it in more than one color too.
ReplyDeleteJean, I think if your name is Jean, you are destined to love jeans! LOL.
ReplyDeleteGiddy, Darn. If I knew you would hop over, I surely would have made one!
Muum, I hope that color looks the same when the jacket arrives...it's more salmon than pink, I think.
Jenn, If you do order from them, be sure to check online for coupons. I used one that gave me an additional 40% off the already reduced prices.
Kris, that was way back in December, I think. I've ordered quite a few more jackets since then. I need them for work. At least I keep telling DH that.
I also hate, hate, hate malls. I don't like to buy slacks or jeans online if they are a new style, but I do buy one particular brand of jeans that I have worn for years. I jusbuy a new fresh pair every now and then. I love buying tops though. I been shopping online for years.
ReplyDeleteNice choices! I guess you never send anything back? I have made a few poor choices and had to send a dress back last year at my own expense. I didn't really like what I got at the Coldwater Creek sale last year. I didn't know the slacks were cropped (I am too short to wear crops)
ReplyDeleteI like catalog shopping too.
I'm with you, if you find something you love, buy more than one!
I really like Kohls for clothing the best.
Jane Marie, I don't buy pants either. So far only tops and one dress.
ReplyDeleteDianne, I have never sent anything back. Sometimes you really have to read the description. I received one white jacket that had big flared sleeves--UGH! I didn't realize it would have those. AFter hanging on my sewing room door for 4 weeks, I finally took the bottom of the sleeves apart and made them normal. Now I love that jacket and can't wait to be able to wear white.
I can surely make the cropped pants shorts. I tend to let my clothes pile that needs fixing pile up. I'm a whiz at turning pants up though.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you didn't have to send anything back.
I'm not a perfect size anything, so I sometimes go up a size in tops and vice versa. Hard to shop for me!
I also don't like shopping and now find that I'm not alone on that one. Haven't done online shopping yet..
ReplyDeleteI too buy the same item but in different colors..makes shopping simpler that's for sure.
Thanks for the pics of the 'online' clothes!
Nice duds! I like shopping online, too, except for the fact that you can't try it on first. You'll be stylin' now. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Zoey,
ReplyDeleteLove your jackets. I don't have all that many dressy things any more.
(I rarely wear a dress or skirt anymore). I enjoy shopping, but don't need that much. I have way too many clothes as it is..
xo
When do we get a fashion show?
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful.
I like the first one best. Probably because I spend most of my time in casual clothes. Your are right, the finish work on that brand is wonderful.
