Some people might think shopping is just a waste of money but if you just try to look at it in a different perspective, there’s actually a lot of things that you can learn from it.

If clothes don’t fit - There are times when you find clothes that you really like but when you try to fit it, it is either too tight or too loose and there are no other available sizes.  It can be frustrating but yes, that is life.  Some things are just not meant to be, no matter how badly you want it to be yours, it will just be a waste of your time.  So move on, and try to find something you like that fits you.  Surely, there are other clothes or options out there, just waiting to get noticed.  What is meant to happen will happen, what is not meant will never happen no matter how hard you try to make it happen.

Finding what you are looking for.  When I shop, I don’t really try to look at every rack much.  When I see it, that’s it.  I know what I want when I see it so I don’t waste much time on things that doesn’t interest me (there’s always an exemption to this one, of course).

Look closer.  There are times when you see a dress and you like it but when you look closer, you just get disappointed because you see that it’s not really what you expect it to be.  Either the fabric is not the nice or the works are not that fine.  It is the same with people in some cases, there are people whom you thought are great but then when you get to know them, they are not what they seem to be.  Looks and sweet words can be deceiving….

Try to fit it.  There was a time when my friend bought a dress that I thought does not look nice.  Then, when she wore it, it looks absolutely great.  I guess, we can apply it to our way of dealing with people.  We should not judge others too easily without really knowing them.  Who knows, the one we rejected could be what’s best for us.

Custom Fit and Alterations.  Well, if you really want it, then you can always have it altered but then again you know that something has changed and that it is not how it is originally made.  Or if it is custom made, then you made it the way you wanted but doesn’t it feel better when you find something that you like without doing anything?

Finding the one.  When we find what we are looking for, then we just buy it and stick to it.  No matter how expensive it is, we will save up to have enough money to buy it.  The right fabric, the right fit, the perfect color…. and even when it’s old and worn out, we just keep it coz we just love it.

This is just part of it… life has a lot of lessons to teach us.  Some are good, some may be painful.  But that’s life, everything is a risk..take your pick.=)
