Of late I have shunned
the high street and shopping centres in favour of shopping online.
I know online shopping
doesn’t appeal to every one but for me it gets the job done.
I hate the whole waking up on a Saturday
morning, and having to wrestle with other buyers,
beg sales annoyed assistants
for help getting the right sizes and im then expected to part with my hard earned cash after receiving
substandard customer service.
Oh no honey!!
Give me online any day,
I can be in my bed with my laptop or secretly at my computer at work and wham
bam I have what I want.
Next day delivery please.
This doesn’t count
for my love of thrifting going to markets and boot sales however because I love
seeking out hidden gems and there is always lots of interesting people to talk
to.
When I received an invitation
for Tagoe's closets
Blog anniversary and shopping
event launch
I thought that would be an interesting way
to spend a Saturday afternoon and perhaps pick up some bits and pieces for work.
Held at Nineteen in Streatham
I was greeted upon entry by the hostess Ms Sherry Tagoe with a glass of wine and
offered a variety of nibbles from the lovely spread of goodies.
Then it was time to
get down to serious business…… Shopping
I generally take a no
prisoners attitude when shopping, Don’t look at me don’t talk to me I don’t play!
And snatching
garments I want out of other shoppers mind and screaming “you snooze you lose
bitches!!” has often crossed my mind but
I promise I have never done it .
In this instance I found
the experience very calming and enjoyable (The wine may have helped) giving and
receiving advice to other shoppers about which garments to select.
Once the shopping was
over and people started to get tired we all sat down had drinks and had general
chit chat for a while before saying out god byes and leaving with our goodies.

I still prefere traditional shopping than online:)
I think you can never beat the thrill of bagging a bargain there and then or Having the opportunity to touch and try on the item you are about to buy but right now for me convenience is key
