Me and one of my closest friends went shopping a few days ago, since she needed a dress and some shoes for this semi-formal occasion that she is going to go to in Ireland. So we walk around for a few hours, light-heartedly, having fun, and then when we get tired, (after not buying anything, by the way) we bought some ice-cream, sat down on a bench, and probably had the best half an hour ever. It's amazing how much you and friends have to talk about whilst set on a bench, people watching.
Okay, maybe that makes me sound a little bit like a stalker. No such thing intended.
So we finished our ice cream, went around for a little while, and my friend still hadn't found a dress or shoes or anything. She suggested having a final look through all of the shops that we pass through, just to be sure.
And then we finally went to BHS--at this point it was getting pretty late. She found this cute top which matched the skirt she was wearing, and after about fifteen minutes of debating, she finally bought it.
It looked cute on her--I'm glad she did.
But she didn't find a dress. Or shoes. Which was the whole point of the shopping trip in the first place. This is just a given--these days you just can't find what you're looking for. You go shopping for something formal, and come back with a T-Shirt. Or if you go shopping for a casual outfit, you come back with this really cute party dress. You just can't win, either way.
We agreed that we'd just stick to online shopping for specific things.
