While I love shopping online I MUST write all online plus stores this open letter!
Dear Shops,
I do hope you're well, you're one of the few places that has my attention on a daily basis. The only place in which my addiction will quell.
I'd like to ask you though, to please show all items on models of bigger sizes. Its no good having a piece of clothing on sale in sizes 8-32 if the model in the picture is a 2. Please show us what it looks like in bigger sizes. I personally feel curves are easier on the eyes, but more importantly the cut changes so us examples of all sizes in your ranges.
Better still, list the dimensions of the piece (in larger sizes) so that we can better work out on what size we should feast.
Services have been set up like dressipi to help us decipher what size we are in different stores... Isn't that a message that we need your help to buy more?
Another thing, please ship for free if you're going to take more than 3 days. We'll pay more if we need it today or tomorrow, but why cause us extended sorrow if we didn't pay for it to arrive the next day?
Yours sincerely,
Shopaholic: went cold turkey for the winter but with full amazon wishlist ...
1. Since I was a child I've hated trying on clothes in changing rooms. So the first thing has to be trying on clothes in the comfort and warmth of my own home where I can take my time!
2. I love stores like forever 21 Who offer free delivery if you've spent a lot of money in some cases and I can have it sent to work.
3. Shopping online often gives you access to the full range of sizes. Many sites allow you to search by size removing the chances of the disappointment of finding the perfect item, in the wrong size.
4. Sometimes you'll find things out of stock but you can often set up an automated alert which tells you when things are back in stock. Or its quick and easy to check if something is back (from anywhere with your smart phone ;-))
5. I love sites like simply be, asos curve, and forever 21 plus who use plus sized models! It means when I look at it online on a bigger model it allows me to better work out how it will look on me!
6. An extra good reason as it gives you time to rationalise what you buy! You can save it to a wish list or even favourite it in your browser - then if its still haunting you come pay day - you know what you have to do!
7. You save money and time and energy - no walking up and down, no paying for parking, no temptation to eat out at the mall and no struggle to find where you parked the car in the first place.
I hope that's given you some encouragement to do more shopping online!!
