Window Shopping...

Now its almost 6 months since we landed in this small state of Rhode Island. After almost two months stay here, we were running short of places to go on weekends. We had covered almost all the nearby attractions, all the parks and all the malls by then. To top that up, my attitude was "y a visit to malls if you dont have anything to buy". So I turned my nose up when kishore first suggested the idea of window shopping. But ultimately with nothing much to do,we would always end up window shopping most of the time. Intially it was a strenuous task setting my mind to the idea that you are at the shop just to browse and not to buy. But with my better half always by my side, i have become a successful window shopper :D

Nowadays i really enjoy this little hobby of ours and I assume i am now in a position to give some tips for window shopping.

Tips :

1. Ideal places for window shopping are big malls where u have lots of retailers to hop in and hop off.
2. Dont go to those shops where there arent any customers or where the sales person is eagerly waiting to help u. Believe me, u really dont need any help for window shopping.
3. We mostly do window shopping for clothes and they are the best stuff to go window shopping for (in my opinion).
4. Dont do window shopping continuosly for more than 2-2.5hrs. You will get bored. You can take a break in between and continue if you feel so.
5. During your shopping (window), have a good look at the price, design, style and quality of the stuff so that when you actually need to buy something, you know which shop to go. This is actually a great advantage of window shopping.
6. And last but not the least, dont end up buying all the stuffs that you see in the shop.
   

It is highly likely that during your window shopping, you may stumble upon a dress or a design you have been yearning for a long time and in such scenarios theres no harm in turning your window shopping to an actually shopping :)
