Trying on clothes is hands-down the worst part about shopping.
Ftting rooms find a way to suck all the pleasure out of your love of clothes, trashing your confidence in the process. There's nothing like some bad (not to mention inconsistent) lighting or a distorted mirror to put a damper on your mood.
