Yes sometimes but mostly from ebay as i prefer cheaper or vintage clothes, i buy basic online like jeans when i know the sizes but other things i prefer to get instore so i can see how they look on me and sizing.
Yes heavily, vintage store have a wider range of trends and style so i prefer to combine these rather than just buy what current in style, this can have infeucen for different decades. Gets alot of clothes from my mum.

Never, its not my style i like to be up with current styles.
These interviews have allowed me to find the benefit of online shopping and why people vintage shop, it's mostly out of want for unique style over ease. People would shop vintage if it was easier to do which is what this site aims for so the design of the site should make it easy to use but also reflect the benefit and uniqueness of the styles.The site should simplify the experience so its useable for any audience. also it should show sizing or a size guide to make it relatable
