I had gone clothes shopping a couple of weeks ago as managed to wangle a girls’ morning, the boys were off playing soccer and hanging out with their cousins. So myself, the baby and the 3 year old headed into Cork.

I’m not a big fan of clothes shopping, its usually hassle, trying on clothes, getting re-dressed etc etc. I’ve gotten to the stage, I think, of knowing what type and shape of clothes suit me and I’m afraid I’ve always been a bit of a “buy everything in black” person. Though this has modified in recent years to “buy the same item in a few different colours” if I find a skirt or top that I like.

Anyhow, that morning I purchased a skirt in MANGO which I love. A few evenings ago, I decided to have a gander of their website www.mango.com and the shopping part of this www.mangoshop.com.

I found it pretty easy to use. The choice of clothes can be narrowed down by Style (eg casual, evening etc), Garment (eg dresses, tops, tshirts etc), price or collection. There is a good sale selection too.

You can zoom in on the particular item you are interested in, though unlike other clothing online sites, you can’t zoom in on a particular part of the item nor rotate it to see the back or side for example.

The website gives suggestions for matching pieces. Select your size and colour and add to shopping bag. Check out was straightforward too.

Delivery of items by DHL took only 3 days and was free of charge as I had spent over €45. I think this is an excellent service. Its about time an online store appreciated the custom and stopped adding a hefty shipping charge on top of the cost of the items.

I am very happy with my purchases and will definitely use this website again.
