What to choose? Facilitating the hard choices in our lives..

A new lay out on my blog of course goes together with a new post!

While I was restyling my blog (hope you like it..) I came across the possibility to check the result of the changes I made in between. I did not have to immediately choose what I wanted but I could compare and contrast all the options as long as I wanted. This made the choosing process a lot easier for me, because of course I did not want to ruin my entire blog with a silly lay out ;-).

Something new which also enhances this choice process, with which humans always seem to have a problem, is a digital dress mirror. These mirrors, which are placed in a few selected shops in the Netherlands, include a small computer, touch screen and camera. These technological gadgets provide some interesting functions to facilitate the choice making process of the purchaser…

Should I pick the purple or the blue shirt? Should I buy the tight pants or maybe the baggy ones? Probably, you yourself have also been confronted with this kind of problem. When standing in front of a digital dress mirror you will not have this problem. When you touch the screen a computer will start and allow you to take a picture with the camera. This way, you can place the picture of you in your tight jeans and you in your baggy jeans right next to each other and see which you like better. Another nice add on is that you can send these pictures to for instance your boyfriend, who once again could not find the energy to go shopping with you, so that he can help you choose from his lazy couch.

Me myself do not think I would need the digital dress mirrors – if choosing between 2 is so hard, then I would just take both of them ;-).
