Today we've been msn-ing about shopping rules- or what SHOULD be shopping rules, more accurately. (The msn-ing is because we are both at work, and this is how we often spend our days)
1. If its the right thing, but the WRONG colour, dont buy it.
2. If it is SLIGHTLY too tight, but should be fine, cos you're going to go to the gym more often anyway, dont buy it.
3. If you've been dreaming of the uber-item, and you find something similar, hold out for the Golden Item- you will wear the lesser one a few times before you realise its Not Quite Right, and then be annoyed with it, and incapable of buying The Real Thing, cos now you have something thats almost the same.
4. If its what you want, but when you try it on it makes you look bigger/wrongly proportioned/slutty/early-to-mid-90s or cuts the circulation to your arms off, dont buy it, instead think of something else you want.
5. If you're on holidays, and you find something fun, that you wouldnt buy in Melbourne, but hey- you can wear it by the pool and no one knows you here anyway, dont buy it. Or you will be stuck forever with a crap tshirt/dress/sarong/hat that you cant throw out cos you bought it on that awesome holiday with blah-blah.
6. If you start trying on random "this'll be funny" stuff with your friend and you find something that actually kinda looks pretty good, but its red, and you hate red, dont buy it. You will only look at it once a week and think- that would be perfect, but its red. I dont wear red. (insert your own colour of hatred if its not red)
To be continued (its almost 5.30 have to pack my bags ready to leave on the dot)
