Go online shopping for clothes

Call me a stinge but I would browse online clothing shops for hours each time choosing from hundreds and hundreds of clothing options, throwing in what I thought I would like into the virtual shopping bag. Then I would narrow down my selection to what I really wanted/needed. And when I did, I would calculate the conversion rate, freight charges and then review my selection again. But back out before I could cause any serious damage to my bank account.

Whilst saying that, I did key in my credit card number once and went through with the shopping transaction to the end. Who would have guessed that I, of all people, would get a refund instead of the clothes that I shopped for because the delivery went missing. Lost forever.

So this was a more than a dare. It was trusting in a system that I knew had failed me once before. But I braved the risk of losing my delivery and money (from the exchange rate) and went online shopping at Victoria Secret.

All up, it would have been a total of 15 hours of my (now a routine) browsing. Decide on seven tops which were "simple" but ones that I could easily dress up or dress down, depending on my accessories and lack of. Cost me just over AUD $150 including delivery. And it took exactly two weeks for the delivery to arrive.

You cannot imagine my relief to its arrival!

The tops fit me really well. The colours were a perfect match to my skin. I now own two great off shoulder tops, two cardis, a long black singlet top, a plain white and black top. All stretchy and really comfy. I am so super excited. When I can, I will take photos and re-edit this post with them.

But for now, here is a preview of one of the tops.

Need I mention the models on Victoria's Secret are good enough a reason to want to shop on there?! Here's to a really fulfilling 104!
