Disadvantages: can look tacky

MY BOOHOO EXPERIENCE
I first discovered Boohoo when I wanted some cheap going out dresses and a friend recomended it to me.I've used websites such as Asos, New Look and Lipsy on numerous ocasions but even during the sales, these websites can be expensive. Boohoo seemed like a cheaper alternative.
I ordered a silver dress with a black bead detail halter neck. It was knocked down to only £10 and I was delivered promptly after ordering.

ADVANTAGES:

PRICE:
Primark is one of my favourite clothing stores due to its reasonable prices. However, whenever I wear a primark outfit, it seems everyone else is wearing the same thing because it's cheap, which can be annoying if you want to look unique and you don't want everyone to know how much your outfit costs! This is why I find www.boohoo.com a suitable alternative. It has items in the same cheap, affordable price range as Primark so you can pick up some real bargains without everyone else having the same outfit!

CHOICE:
Also, Boohoo has a wide selection of clothes in many different styles and colours. It may not have as many clothes as websites such as Asos but it still has several pages of clothes to browse through meaning that you are likely to find at least one item you like.

SALES:
There always seems to be sales on at Boohoo and given how cheap the clothes are anyway, you can pick up some real bargains during sale time. For example, as I write this review, Bohoo have a 50% off summer sale, as well as 30% off accesories and 25% off shoes.
You will be informed of sales via text messages which is a nice feature because it means you never miss any specail offers.

DISADVANTAGES:

QUALITY:
Cheap prices can come at a compromise. In the case of Boohoo, it often comes at a compromise of quality. If you are going to buy from this website then chose your purchases well, because many items look cheapier and tackier in real life than they do online.
You can see this just by browsing on the website. Many items are bright, loud colours, covered in sequins, frilly and lacy to an extent where they look over the top and cheap.

NAVIGATION
Navigation on this website can become difficult.
If you see an item you like the look of and click on it, often you cant go back to the page you were previously viewing before you clicked on that item. Although there is a "continue shopping" button, this often navigates you to a different page than you were previously on, meaning you have to scroll through all the pages again to get back to where you were before.
And Clicking the back button on the browser often takes you away from the website all together! This can become annoying and lengthens the shopping experience.

CONCLUSION
A good alternative clothes store for those who are strapped for cash. Unique designs and patterns mean that you will stand out from the crowd. However, chose carefully to avoid the tackier cheap looking items.

Summary: A good alternative to Primark
