Women spend over eight years of their lives shopping

The average woman makes 301 shopping excursions each year, spending around 400 hours buying clothing, books, food, and toiletries. They multiplied that by 63 shopping years and discovered that ladies spend 8.5 years, or 3,148 days of their lives shopping.

Here's the breakdown of the amount of time we spend shopping for specific retail items each year:

  • Clothes — 30 times, total 100 hours and 48 minutes
  • Shoes — 15 times, 40 hours and 30 minutes
  • Accessories — 18 times, 29 hours and 31 minutes
  • Food — 84 times, 94 hours and 55 minutes
  • Books — 57 times, 31 hours and 21 minutes
  • Toiletries — 27 times, 17 hours and 33 minutes
  • Gifts — 19 times, 36 hours and 17 minutes
  • Window Shopping — 51 times, 48 hours and 51 minutes

Spring Trends at Work


Our four favorite runway trends can be toned down so they're just right for the office. 

Animal prints
These call-of-the-wild prints can be really sophisticated office attire when not overdone. Stick to one animal-print piece paired with neutral basics. Dalmatian print is such a fun alternative to leopard.




Color-Blocking
Pair mod silhouettes in black and camel, to offset any ultra-bright hues. This jacket looks like a true vintage find.


Lace
Lace can be added in subtly, with trims and modest feminine shapes. Ruffles are a pretty counterpart to the tiny amount of lace.
The small lace trim goes a long way on this crisp blouse.
Try lace in a more formal, non-provocative silhouette—like this pencil skirt.
This shift style is absolutely work-appropriate.
A vintagey, goes-with-anything blouse.

Prints
Prints can work surprisingly well for the office when toned down by office-ready basics.Statement-making, but far from over-the-top.
A print that screams "Spring!"
