I do a lot of online shopping, and consider myself quite experienced. But lately I've been having really bad luck - I buy things and when I receive them, they don't resemble the photos and are not at all what I wanted - the fit is bad, the look is flimsy. Or they are good enough, wearable but not really giving joy. Some of it is my own parsimoniousness, I'm choosing things which are too cheap, and then, not surprisingly, they look really cheap. (That's a life lesson I should have learnt by now! But the lure of the bargain is so strong!!)
So now I am going back to an old habit. I'm putting my new selections in the cart, and then leaving them for a week or so, to see if they still shine when I go back to them. And I'm also revisiting my pinterest page - Things I am not Buying today - and letting them sit there. I can relax, knowing I won't forget about them, and then see if I really need it a month or so later. (and I've also taught myself how to create pins, which is a more cumbersome process than I think it should be, but at least I am saving my more expensive choices somewhere!)
