Online Shopping

I’m one who rarely shops online unless it’s a product I’m familiar with. I prefer to shop in stores, especially for clothing. I need to feel the fabric, look at the workmanship, check the quality, etc. A couple of days ago I happened to come across a site and saw these turquoise rose petal throw pillows. I just had to have them! I needed a pop of color in our living room. I figured if I didn’t like them, they could be returned. They arrived yesterday. I bought two for the loveseat and two for our sofa. I love them! Next, I will be shopping for outdoor waterproof throw pillows!

Thanks so much! I’ve been searching since we bought that carpet last year. Nothing was right. I’m really happy I found these. The room needed some oomph.

@LadyDuck I’m happy with it, especially since I did it myself without a decorator.

Thanks so much! I searched for a year for those pillows. I’m so proud, because I did that room all by myself! Next, I will look for waterproof outdoor throw pillows and ones that won’t fade in the sun!

I never ever buy shoes, purses, or clothes online. Thank you! It took me an entire year to find the right color. I even looked all over Connecticut.

@DianneN OK, offline purchase can be right that way. Except if its payment on delivery, then you can feel it before making payment. Even if paid before you can still return it depending on the site, and return and refund polices.

I cannot understand those who shop online for clothes. You have to try it on to check for fit and feel and how it looks. I am sure you agree.

@DianneN Those throw pillows are really cool. The room has lots of light. I prefer to go to stores and see what I am buying unless it is something I trust or someone I trust that will order something for me online. Very rarely do I get something outside of Israel. I prefer buying things in person here.
