The RETURN of the Return of the "If I had $300 to buy one item of clothing today..."

[Prudence]

If I can buy online and return to a brick-and-mortar store, I definitely buy online. I much prefer to try things on in the privacy of my own home. Frankly I prefer to shop from the privacy of my own home, too, so as to avoid annoying comments from shop employees.

[Not Afraid]

I prefer shopping on-line because I can do it anytime. With shoes, it is always a crap shoot anyways, so I always require the ability to return. Certain stores have a better selection of sizes on line (:cough:Anthropologie) and I don't get as frustrated. I find that I am doing about 80% of my apparel shopping on line lately.

I've never bought clothes online. Well, other than shoes. I've been wearing the model of Saucony running shoes for almost a decade and the same model of Rockports for just about as long so I can safely buy those online.

But never clothes. Of course, until a couple weeks ago it had been a few years since I had really shopped for clothes in a regular store either (generally it is "I'll take one of whatever shirt is closest to the door").

Edited to rephrase:

Stop being all "non-shopping blah blah blah" in this mindless self-indulgence thread.

Ok, ok. If I had $300 to buy one item of clothing today...I'd buy whatever shirt was closest to the door at Macy*s and spend the rest at Cinnabon.

Haha! All right... all right...

You know. IRL, I actually don't do a lot of shopping. Probably because of the whole "I'd rather spend my money on X" thing (usually travel, gadgetry). But... this is more of a "well, if I had to spend it on clothes..."

Man, and here I thought I was going to find a pretty dress. Nothing really appealed to me.

As a more serious response to the "buying clothes online" question, while I don't do it Lani does so all of the time and I can't think of any major horror stories and returns are generally straightforward.
