Let's Go Shopping!
You walk into a store, wanting to get a pair of shoes, maybe a bag and say a set of accessories. You go through the racks, the shelves, the boxes and sometimes the sale section, wanting to find the things that you want. So there you have it, the store is nicely stocked in colours and they have the sizes you want. Browsing and looking, you found this pair of heels that are in your favourite colour and design. Of course, you asked the saleslady for your size and voila, she has it! Happily, you decided to buy it and asks her to leave it at the counter. So there you have your shoes.
Bags, hmm now which one should you get? Everything looks so splendid you wish you can have them all, but you cannot really afford all of them even though you want to. But you really wish you could! So you see this purple Balenciaga that you love, and lovingly running your hands all over it and smelling the leather. You think this is the best already, and you cannot be more than contented with it that you so seriously want to buy it NOW. Then you decide to really buy it. So you carry the bag with you as you walk around the store, thinking that you would look for the accessories.
NO. SHIT. NOT GOOD. You see a Miu Miu satchel perched at the top of a shelf. It shimmers in the lights of the store, with a haunting quality that enthralls you, pulling you closer to it as you walk towards that glorious leather satchel. You look up at it, wondering why the hell did this satchel pop up from no where and caught your eye when you have already decided on the Balenciaga! So you wonder which one should you get because well, the heart is strong but the pocket is weak. And then you try to compare if you should get the Miu Miu or the Balenciaga. But both seem so fab! The Miu Miu is in cream, while the Bal is in purple. Purple is a nicer colour right, won't get dirty that fast so you don't have to be extra careful when you use the bag or what ever. But cream is easier to match clothes! And its pretty too. So how?
Then the saleslady stares at you as you conduct your cost benefit analysis, trying to make a decision about it. The other shoppers gaze longingly at both bags that you have, and cannot wait for you to drop one of it so well, they can buy it. HOLD ON BITCHES I AM THINKING! CANNOT WAIT IS IT?! CHILL LAR!!
But you still have to get your accessories! So much things to do so little time. Best solution for now is to carry both the Bal and the Miu Miu and walk around the store a little bit longer, hoping that your mind will give you an answer.
So you head to the accessories section, and you are dazzled by everything. Pearls, diamonds, scarves, shades, earrings, rubies, lace... So you decide to get a pair of cute earrings, some bangles, some necklaces, rings, badges and perhaps a bottle of red nail varnish. Everything is quite nice and the price is cheaper than you thought, so yeah can buy some more! You take this pretty little basket and start to throw all your selections inside, happy that you finally are getting some accessories. Nice and lovely stuff to wear!
After settling the accessories and the shoes, you are once again jolted back to the choice between the bags. So the cream or the purple?
Which one?
