Its good that you buy & try so you get to scratch the itch & save your pennies when things just aren't right! I return more these days as I've become more of a savvy shopper but I do cringe when some shops make you fill in the returns receipt!

Sometimes I let myself go with the flow but when I get the items I then think I don't want exactly what everyone else is having.

I think I've moved to a different place in the past few months where I fill a basket and then talk myself out of it before I press 'order'. Seeing everyone else in the 'must-have' shoes or jeans is off-putting so I'm just not ordering and it turns out I'm just as happy, with plenty to wear and without the 3 times weekly return journey instore/post office. Does this mean I have to stop blogging now?!!

I know some people who would rather keep things rather than go through the rigmarole of having to return something cheap to the shops but I really don't want anything I don't like cluttering up any more space. And what a bonus - a Collect + next to the school - I have to schlep to the next village but at least it's not that far. It's worth it considering how many things I drop off there.<br /><br />And I think the fit of an item accounts for a huge amount. As I'm small, I have to be careful of waistlines which sit in the wrong place and I always have my sleeves altered so my clothes don't look like they drown me - or at the very least, I shrug them up. Everything looks so much better as soon as you do that.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-47091337593252187202015-03-30T21:05:34.557+01:002015-03-30T21:05:34.557+01:00It wasn't horrendous, it just wasn't the m...It wasn't horrendous, it just wasn't the most flattering thing I could wear.

I...Fabulous post I - sadly - can totally relate to! I am extremely picky and return over 90% of my purchases. I also sometimes buy things I know, for various reasons (mainly because I already have a variation or two of the same item!) even before pressing the button I will be returning, which is something I definitely need to stop doing.<br />Won't bother you with the details, but in summary in the past couple of months I made and returned small and large orders from Uniqlo, Cos, & Other Stories, Brora, Gap, Zara, White Company, H&M and M&S. What did I keep? Merino jumper and sweatshirt from & Other Stories, boxy cotton shirt from Cos, relaxed trousers from White Company and leather flip flops from Gap. <br />Irinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091285542965240105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-43806814079262609652015-03-30T17:58:50.827+01:002015-03-30T17:58:50.827+01:00Ha! hilarious - and I have most of the items you s...Ha! hilarious - and I have most of the items you sent back!! I'm similar in that I love things for the 'moment' and then just go off things, I'm so fickle...but I'm using Tictail more to sell my old wares (especially when I've worn things a couple of times and too late to refund, it's upcycling which means money for me and someone else gets a bit of a bargain.
