Mail Order

Due to my inability to try on things in a store, most of my purchases have been through mail-order.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but sometimes you're just not sure if you can pull off a look. And the long return times, if you finally get the item and realize you need a size difference or the color wasn't what you were hoping for.

But what really makes me unhappy at them is the false advertising they can get away with. I'm not a skinny girl. I have to make my purchases from the Women's sections. So places like Jessica London, Avenue, and Lane Bryant get most of my dollars. If you have seen the catalogs for Jessica London or Roman's, those models are NOT larger sizes. I hate that false impression thinking that an item of clothing will fit/look a certain way.

Also, shame on VS for not selling more XL or XXL items. :P
