During my short holiday at KL with my friends, all the hours spent walking and strength-training (shopping bags are heavy) made me realise there are some uncanny similarities between shopping and finding guys. Which leads me to write this post...
An analogy: Shopping and Guys
- When shopping, females can spend hours searching and searching, in search for "The One", be it the perfect dress, shoe, bag, top etc., which doesn't always exist. With guys, go figure.
- We may see the signs, "Sale!", "Limited time only" and make a bad buy, tell ourselves "never again" and still end up falling for the trick again some time later.
- Be prepared to walk far, and search high and low; no pain, no gain.
- Sometimes, what you put on in the fitting room may not look as good in the real world.
- Friends can potentially be dangerous, making you buy something which doesn't look good on you, is over your budget or is just not your style.
- Don't be disillusioned into thinking that what looks good on another person or mannequin would look equally good on you.
- We can spend hours drafting up a shopping list, but end up getting something we didn't plan to or even worse, don't really need or want.
- The good thing is, good things can be found in the most unexpected places and most often than not, when you least expect it.
- Don't just buy something for the sake of buying something. You may feel guilty about not buying anything after hours of shopping, but it's worse to feel that you wasted your time and money over something you'll just leave in the back of the wardrobe.
- Going into shops that are out of your league is a sure fire way to make you depressed and turn a few shades greener due to envy.
- Finally, keep your eyes and mind open when shopping, you never know what you may chance upon.
