“I’m just going nip around town after work and pick up something for the Christmas party”.
The famous last words before you trudge around town for hours in an absolute fouler with blisters on your feet – and then grab another black dress in the five-minutes-closing-time panic.
Town is absolutely manic at the moment and it is rib-bashingly packed in the popular clothing shops, so let us streamline your Christmas party-outfit shopping.
Screenshot and go. You’ll be in and out in no time.
