For the past few weeks, I&#39;ve been purchasing clothes online with special coupon codes and deals. I actually got the idea from my boyfriend who pretty much monitors slickdeals.net daily. You can find some really good sales on the site, and he&#39;s had a lot of success with past purchases. So of course I had to take a look and try to find some special offers for some of my favorite stores. Now, I&#39;ve never shopped much online in the past, except for textbooks and electronics. I&#39;m kind of picky about clothing and how things fit, so I&#39;m skeptical about buying something when I haven&#39;t tried it on. But since I found some pretty good sales, I decided it was worth a shot.</p> <p>The result? Well, let&#39;s just say I was reminded of why I always try things on before buying haha. Most of the clothes were either too big, too small, awkward fitting, or not nearly as cute as they seemed in the picture. So I have to mail different items back from different orders, which has been a bit of an annoying fiasco, in addition to forfeiting return fees and shipping and handling charges. I did decide to keep two bathing suits that I love, so the experience wasn&#39;t a complete failure. As for online shopping in the future, however, I think I&#39;ll stick to books and electronics haha.</p>
