I happened to visit the Google reader just after you posted it and it wasn't there. Anyway the number of people who have commented obviously indicates that either we are all boring or that it was not a boring post. I am inclined to the latter point of view simply because I found it interesting and I'm not going to insult myself. I suppose being a man it is easier to buy some of one's clothes online. Once I know what I want I will happily buy online. Actually I find one of the best times to buy some things online is in the John Lewis sale. I will usually have seen the items when I was in the shop anyway.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-74969712450908920722015-05-02T13:06:32.262+01:002015-05-02T13:06:32.262+01:00I've never bought any clothes online.

Even before I try them on, I'm disappointed, realising this is something I would never have picked out, let alone taken into a changing-room, if I were in a shop. <br />Maybe I expect too much. I would go shopping, but can't spare the time to drive the twenty miles every time. This is why I possess only one 'best dress' and have worn it to every formal occasion ( I don't get invited to many) for twenty years. xJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-90468116551153496472015-05-01T18:38:45.405+01:002015-05-01T18:38:45.405+01:00It's because it's May Day Eve or was.

Therefore, I don't need to shop online for clothes, and very rarely have done so. Being of standard height and proportions means I can shop without trying something on relatively risk free, which is why I have found some rather nice and useful items at Aldi's, where of course there aren't any changing rooms and you do take the pieces out of the packaging.<br />Your friend's mantra about buying only what you love is a good one! Trouble is, I love too many dresses and things...Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
