I was at the mall today, and I came to the conclusion I hate the mall, from parking, to rude salespeople, to long lines, etc.
Although s/h can be costly I much rather shop online.
What do you like best, malls or online?
You know, I was just thinking the same thing this past Saturday. As I shopped at Macys in Union Square (huge, for those who've been there) with my friend, I came to the conclusion that I'd MUCH rather clothes shop in one of two places nowadays:
1. On-line/catalog. I love to look at mail order while I'm commuting (via bus) to work, and order either at work or at home on line. I can even shop clearance! I also like being able to check my email and find out when my favorite stores are having sales on items in which I'm interested, and I can just click and pick. I have picked up some good deals this way, without the fuss.
2. Boutiques/small outlet stores. I love Georgiou and BCBG. I also like any of the smaller outlet malls (malls that have just three to ten outlet stores like Joan and David, Donna Karan, Coach and of course, Georgiou and BCBG--not the GREAT MALL type outlet mall).
I dislike massive department stores and malls. They're too crowded, too hard to find what you want, too many food temptations . I get overwhelmed with all the sales, non-sales, music, floors and sheer sensory overexposure.
Well, I like both.
Mall=I like to be able to try on clothes and see them on me before I buy them. And its cool the just hang out.
Online=its faster and there are a lot of good sales.
