clothes in shops.

why do they look great when you try them on in the shop, but when you get home they dont look any where near as good :)))) x x x x

Hiya, with me it is the other way around, i never trust the mirrors in fitting rooms and always go by my instincts, I usually just buy something and if it doesn't work i take it back,.

[bobtheturkey]

thats because you take so long deciding, its out of fashion when you get home

They use special lighting and different mirrors in changing rooms. Quite often the mirrors are angled down at you so you appear slimmer etc

[nursecarla]

[dot.hawkes]

LOL, and incase he doesn't tell u, the sale started on my shoes today, really fab bargains for most of the summer stock!!!!!!!!!!!

It is all to do with the lighting. It is for the same reason that you look great in nightclubs! The mirrors are tampered with so you look thinner, and the lights are all spotlighty and glossy, making the colours look amazing. In the cold light of day everything looks as it really is...

[dot.hawkes]

You are depressing me now Scarlett!

[baileys]

sorry but its perfectly true about the mirrors in changing rooms.womens make you look slim whilst mens make you look broader,psychology sales.

I'm with Dot. I usually hate clothes on me in the shops. But I'm quite good at telling if something is well made and a good cut, so I'll buy it and when I get home and try it on it looks brilliant!

Mind you, more often than not it's down to me wearing the wrong footwear etc. in the changing rooms. If I go out wearing trainers and try on evening dresses with my trainer socks on the look just isn't going to work, is it?

ARRRRGGHHHH!!!!!! I can't change my font colour!!!!! :'o(

It's either a mechanism to persuade us to reduce the debts on our credit cards or take off those extra pounds in weight which we've been promising we would do for ages.

In either case, just be grateful that a few extra pounds remain in our bank. !!
