1 It all starts with some ‘window shopping‘. Looking never hurt anyone, right?
2 But everything is just SO nice. Unfortunately, the Internet happens to be full of all the things you really, really need right now.

3 Suddenly, choosing clothes has become a little bit like buying pick ‘n’ mix. I’ll have one of them, two of them, five of them…
4 You buy everything in all the sizes, just in case. You’ve never been a size 10 before but THIS COULD BE YOUR DAY.
5 The thrill as you add everything to your basket is indescribable. This must be how Kim Kardashian feels when she goes shopping.
6 That sinking feeling when you ‘proceed to checkout’, instantly realising you don’t actually have R5 000 to spend on clothes. You remove 90% of everything in your basket, cursing yourself for not being Kim Kardashian.
7 There could still be hope! Frantically, you search for a discount code that means you can justify those extra three pairs of shoes.
8 FINDING THE CODE. Adding the three pairs of shoes, two bags, a couple of dresses and that cute jacket back to your basket. It’s 30% off, after all…
9 Shaking slightly as you enter your credit card details. BEST. DAY. EVER.

10 Hello, buyer’s remorse! You instantly regret that extra R2 000 you racked up in the closing minutes.
11 You hate the waiting game. You only bought everything two hours ago but shouldn’t the package be here already?
12 It’s here! Four days later, the package arrives and you rip it open like a kid on Christmas Day.

13 WTF? It’s been SO LONG since you placed the order, you’ve forgotten what you bought.
14 What WERE you thinking? Seriously! Those white flares? So not your vibe.
15 So begin the returns – returning almost everything you bought for being the wrong size/totally inappropriate/so not as dreamy as it appeared on the website/pretty effing ugly.
16 Trauma? What trauma? Kind of like childbirth (apparently), you forget the trauma almost as instantly as the returns have been dropped off at the post office.
17 Browse time! Aaaaaaaand repeat.
