Internet shopping after getting your colours done?

Considering getting my colours done soon.... I tend to primarily shop online for clothes etc, but wondering if this is still practical after getting your colours done?

I have v little time to actually go to the shops, and prefer trying stuff on at home but the constant faff with reruns annoys me.

Is it just easier all round to go actual shopping??

Returns, not reruns.

One place that I've found quite good is Kettlewell - bought a couple of things from there and the colours have been true to the descriptions. Some of the styling is a bit off but good for basics. I think they do free returns too. Not tried any other

Ooops, posted too soon! Not tried any other online shops yet.

I find some colours easy to find and judge on line such as the bright pinks, blues and purples but the greens for me are a nightmare. It's so hard to judge an emerald colour online. So a bit of a mixture really. Some success online but I prefer to go to real shops.

Maybe real shopping will be easier too once I've got a swatch!

Like Queen, some colours are easy to find/judge online but some not so.

I tend to stick with companies offering free returns or in store returns so that I can order a load in - I am between sizes and I am fussy about how things fit so I always expect to have to return stuff.

I also take pleasure in real life shopping when I am in the mood - it is much easier when you know what colours you should be aiming for.
