I have a love-hate relationship with shopping. On one hand I love to shop, on the other I hate all the little annoyances when I’m out shopping. You have set aside time for shopping, but when you finally get out, nothing really inspires you, and you return home without new clothes. Other times, however you have no time to shop, but suddenly sees a jacket in the window that you absolutely must have. There’s just never time for impulse purchases in my life. I was tired of the impossible shpopping dilemma and has now decided to solely shop for fashion online. One webshop I’ve been using lately is Hotstoff, but I there are so many interesting webshops in Denmark – I like Miinto.dk as well.
As recently as a month ago, I had set aside one day for shopping. This was before the opportunity to shop online fashion had revealed itself to me. I had to get a smart party dress for the next day and I only had one day to get it done.
Maybe it’s because that clothes shopping for me is a creative process. I must be allowed to be inspired and think, “Well, the shoes go along with the tight pants I already have, and a new jacket – it would be nice.” When I shop under pressure, I can not see the possibilities in anything, and unfortunately I shop primarily under pressure. Or I did. Now I found out that shopping online is no pressure, no annoying shop assistants, no queues at the checkout. It’s easy just to jump in and browse through the clothes in a lunch break.
Online fashion a revelation
I think it is stressful when I go shopping in physical stores. With a full time job, it is really hard to get anything other than Saturday shopping with the rest of Denmark. I get so stressed out by all the people and many people waiting in line and so on. And it was precisely like that on the Saturday, I was looking for the dress. I could not of course find it.
I called my friend in a panic. She said she had seen a really nice dress online when she still was time for shopping fashion online. “Fashion online?” I said. Think that I had not thought of it sooner. After I have gone over to shop fashion online, I have never problems with lack of inspiration. I have no problems with rain, long lines at the dressing rooms and too many people. That’s perfect.
