F.I.A.S.C.O

Sigh. An extremely dispiriting online shopping experience.

Ordered 4 pairs of heels from Charlotte Russe two weeks ago after seeing a pop-up window promoting its shoes sale and received my orders this Monday. Guess what, none of them fit, either my size or my expectation. It's not my first time buying shoes online but first time shopping with Charlotte Russe, an U.S. clothing retail chain that shares the same target consumers as Forever 21 (but I personally like F21 slightly better), and I think this will be an once-an-for-all thing, won't order anything online from Charlotte Russe anymore.

Gonna return them tomorrow and right now, I'm only hoping that I'll get full refund (fingers crossed) although I already paid US$15 for the shipping & handling fee, which is definitely not refundable T____T

Since they are here with me still I might as well show you what I've bought. They may look okay in the pics but they kinda look cheap in reality...

#4 Placed high hope in these. I mean, how could you probably go wrong with such simple peep-toes pumps? I was so wrong. Poor quality and the platforms are uneven, how to walk? @.@

#5 So ugly and super pasar-malam-ish! A complete eyesore. They have to go for sure!

#7 Super into fuchsia color lately, I'm still thinking whether to keep this one or not. They are the most comfortable ones compared with the rest, but still I'm not totally sold...

Sigh. Really don't mind paying for the shipping fees at all but it's such a bummer that none of these heels work and thus my 15 bucks just unfruitfully went down to the drain. Maybe I'll just keep the fuchsia wedges then, argh, dunno lah.

Anyway, lesson learned. Never ever, ever buy anything online when you are shopping deprived, you will end up making impulse decisions you'll later regret.



Banging my head against the wall,
