Before we had kids the bane of my life was shopping for clothes. It was interminable at times. And that was just when it came to looking for stuff for myself. I had to learn a whole new vocabulary for saying “yes, that looks nice.” too. About a hundred or two hundred different ways of saying it at that.
Of course now we have two small under 4’s, the problem is now a thousand times worse since we have two small children hanging off us and hiding under the clothing racks. It is nearly impossible to try anything on without being driven to distraction, let alone have an opinion on something when a small child is to trying to disembowel you with a coat hanger. I'd never considered shopping online for clothes at places like Very.co.uk.
Buying stuff online is a habit I’ve had for around ten years now but until recently it’s only been CD’s, games and consumer electronics that I’ve bought. Recently though I’ve been increasingly determined to buy everything that is humanly possible online. The trauma of shopping with kids is too much.
Fortunately for me (specifically because they sell a lot of things that please my lady wife), Very run a rather useful online shop. Unlike a lot of other online retailers, Very comes across more like an old fashioned high street store transformed into an online department store rather than a DVD or book retailer that's branched out. I’m rather partial to Timberland stuff myself, as I’m a big bloke and their sizing is generous to ridiculously tall (and slightly plump) chaps like myself.
I’ve always been a bit reticent about ordering clothing online due to the sizing but frankly it was a bit of an overblown worry, XXL is XXL and anyway, Very offer free returns to boot. So if you’re driven to distraction by kids or can’t be bothered trudging round the shops, Very is worth a look!
