Choosing the right shopify theme for blogging

Store Design
1

Hello,

I need some help in choosing a Shopify theme. The ultimate goal is to sell a few digital and physical products, the latter being travel accessories for women. However, as I’m very new to all of this, I’m starting slow with a blog to grow a community and learn more about my target audience’s needs. Are there themes better suited for bloggers? For written content, especially as I won’t have a lot of visuals to start off with, and may never have a ton, as I’m focusing on a few products? I’d want a newsletter and for visitors to be able to leave comments. Also, I don’t want a theme that is super complicated to work with. If paid themes are my best option, that’s fine, but I’m hoping that it won’t be at the top end. Thank you for your help!
