There is just something about receiving presents from yourself in the mail. I had one delivered today and it was the best time unwrapping and trying on everything. I have this thing about too many strange people being around me, which is why I don’t really find shopping in real life that much fun. I will do it, don’t get me wrong, but I won’t really be searching for anything for myself unless it just happens to be in front of my face and I need to be with other people.

Which is why the internet is so great. I can browse for days (intermittently of course) at one place, put things in my wishlist/saved items/basket and only pull the trigger to buy things when I have had a few drinks :p I kid, most of the time I am of mind when I actually purchase things, but I will say that drunk Anna buys amazing presents for sober Anna.

I am not as carefree as I used to be though, the Aussie $ is not exactly the best right now, so I have to weigh up whether it is worth it in the long run. This last package was. But there were a few others that I had to sacrifice…sigh…

But missed purchases aside, how great is online shopping? My mum is a little confused by how much I buy online to real life, mainly due to the “how do you know it will fit you?” question. But I am one of those people who measure myself regularly so I always know my measurements and check the size guide like a normal person should. Also what can I say, the thrill of presents in the mail outweighs the negatives. Ok, I’m going back to trying on new clothes now.
