Hello FGs!
I do love to shop. A lot. And believe me, I have gotten to do more than my share of it this weekend. Some would say it's a silly hobby, I guess. But it has taught me a thing or two about life. Like this weekend, I was at the biggest mall in the US. Usually, I would just be elated. But every time I walked into one of my favorite stores, I just felt lost. What am I even looking for? Do I want a simple gray sweater, or a turquoise party dress? Cheetah print or plaid? Stilettos or Converse?
So how do I handle this? Well, I could grab everything in my size, and try on one in every color. Or I could just quit while I'm ahead, and ditch for the food court. Maybe I'll just try to channel one of my favorite celebs - they always know what to wear. Can I just ask my shopping partners to pick something out, and go with that?
So what did I learn from this? Well, other than the fact that I take shopping pretty seriously, I guess I realized that I was feeling just as unsure and indecisive as I am in a few areas of my life right now. I suppose that's the way it is - how you're thinking, your attitude, what you're feeling about yourself - it all becomes a part of everything you do. When you're feeling confident and happy, it's all a little easier. It's true with every emotion - you carry it with you.
To me, shopping can also give you a fresh perspective on life. What do you do when you have no idea what you're looking for? Go with an honest friend, try on some things that are comfortable and some you've never tried before, and don't buy unless it's a perfect fit. Same for shoes, same for life.
