Online shopping: how to avoid feeling frustrated

I have talked about online shopping here before. I gave you some tips, but there is always more to share.

This time, I want to talk about feeling frustrated when people need to return clothes and shoes that don't fit well.

There is nothing wrong with you or your body. We can only be sure about a purchase once we see the color, feel the fabric, and wear it in person.

That's why I always say that virtual shopping is like taking clothes to a fitting room. It's when we have more time to try them on, in case there's some doubt about how they look.

Our bedroom is the best fitting room in the world, don't you agree?

This frustration happens to me as well. And to many other stylists that I know.

Last week, I ordered a dress whose color was not exactly what I had expected. On top of it all, the fit just wasn't right. So, I will return it. I decided to put on a dress that I already have for New Year's Eve.

I'm not interested in buying what I don't love just because of one occasion. I suggest you do the same!

 Now, I want to hear from you. In your experience, what's the most difficult part about online shopping?
