Sometimes I feel it is like......

Shopping in Winners.
They avertize they have all these wonderful clothes at afforable prices....when you are not in the mood to get more trendy clothes and just wish to find a nice top at a great price....

BUT when you get there and its a Mish-Mash of clothes you have to sort through, that outfit you see on the commercials or the outfit your friend got is no where to be seen. Heck, even one Winners store carries different items than another Winners store down the street. And the so called "affordable prices" are only because they jack up the "origional price" on the tag and say "their price" is much more cheaper - when really its comparable to anything else out there... I digress....

So here is the situation.

You are shopping in your average Winners store - (cause for some reason you have alot of time to shift through everything).... down this aisle, down that aisle, each item is different from the one beside it...sometimes you find a work-out top you see and then you look at the price ...pssssh! You think: I can get this at the same price from any NIke store anyways gez! - no deal there ... so you move on.... not having much success....you carry a few items back to the change room only to have the jeans too tight or too baggy, the top too tight or too low cut:p or just simply looks awful on you...maybe you may end up getting a top that you think is "eeenngh its ok - wasnt what I was looking for but its nice"

BUT its when you see an item the other gal is wearing in the change room and you think "OMG I been here all this time, where she get that, it looks so good?!"
Or its when you are trying on the same item of clothing as that other gal and it looks sooo great on her ...erm ... and not you.
Or its when you are at the cash and you see the lady ahead of you with these nice pair of shoes that you never noticed.

I dont think I have ever gotten an item in that store that I thought was a great deal. (I think it has happened in other stores but thats besides my point)If I go in that store thinking : hummm I want a top that has A B and C features I may find one that has A or AB but not C etc....My point is that it seems that other people find great deals except for me. I start to think - wrong place at the wrong time? Do I just have a picky eye? or Maybe blind eye?? Do I have to keep shifting through all that junk more? Do I have to settle with just A or C and not B etc? Where do I go? Am I in the wrong store altogether? Its like that feeling you get when everyone around you is finding this great deal or that deal and it suits them perfectly-nifty-dandy-fine yet you are waiting for your turn to find that great deal that has everything you are looking for and fits you like it was made for you, and you are discouraged and lost and you feel like you will be the only one left in that store leaving empty handed.........

Um ya. Other than this passing thought, believe it or not, I actually had a great lazy Sunday :)

Ya well im glad im a gal :p

though to re-iterate - today i went to get a pair of good boots that i saw on someone. they were running out so what was on the self was all they had . i got my size.... there were a few pairs but they all seemed not to fit rite. until i tried this one that fit like a T - i practically said "Ahhhh" out loud. it was the same exact boot but i noticed the top rim and the eyelets of the boot are what were different and made them more comfy.

but ..... my luck.... it was only 1 boot of the pair!! wtf?? they were missing the left boot! and it was the last one! i looked everywhere in the store and the lady could not help me either!


Swear this karma thing has to change! :p

I'm glad you're a gal, too... Otherwise, I'd be a little worried about you and your shopping jags.
