How to conquer SWS - Shopping Withdrawal Symptoms
God damn this snow! It is fun for like….a day. That inevitable “snow day” in which everyone skives off work/college, ignores all responsibilities to build a hideous distorted figure that resembles a snowman. Or, the delightful youth hurl balls at unsuspected passers by; firmly believing anti-social behaviour is acceptable now it’s a ball of frozen ice instead.
For me, and many fashionistas, the snow is just another physical barrier that prevents that must-have bargain finding its new home in my walk-in wardrobe. I cannot drive to or from the mall for fear of being trapped (my heaven, btw) and camping overnight outside “Strawberry Bunny”. Apart from investing in a snow plough to hit the January sales, is there another solution? No, before you suggest it…a husky pulling sleigh would be as much hassle as the plough. It’s simple really – stay indoors and shop online. Hallelujah! You can find yourself the new one-shoulder date dress that you need to seduce your current flame, all in the comfort of your p.js and a cuppa cocoa. Heck, you can even find that Lulu Guinness clutch in the sale, wearing your indecent slip and suspenders, if that’s your bag. Anything goes.
Below are my top bargain busting, beauty bursting online shopping sites, take a peek:
