There You'll Be

Aw, I think that is why clothes shopping is easier for me, and more fun.

But I think you get the joy after the experience.

Do you enjoy the shopping at all?

I think you're more practical in your shopping, because you need to be.

Me, I'm kind of able to just go for what I like.

Thank you.

I enjoy shopping only when I know I'll be buying.

Otherwise, it all feels very pointless and stupid to me.

Now, pretty much everyone I know loves to browse.

So, obviously, I'm in the minority there.

I'm just saying, I find shopping painfully tedious unless I know I'm buying something.

There You'll Be

Oh you and I agree there.

If there is nothing I'm particularly after, or know I can afford to get something, I hate it.

I have zero patience for that.

We are in total agreement on that.

sunnykerr

I don't understand why anyone enjoys that, to be honest.

If you want to know what's out there, look online, it's all there.

What's the point of walking around a store, aimlessly?

There You'll Be

That is a really good point.

I just don't think to check online, for anything.

It helps we only have like 3 stores here, and they're pretty easy once you get inside, cause they're very small.

sunnykerr

I only shop once or twice a year, as you know, and I don't like wasting time "looking" or "browsing."

So I do a lot of advance research.

And the stores we go to... I mean, I have no idea really because I've got nothing to compare them to.

But they seem large enough.

Plus, if ever they are missing some of the stuff I was looking for, that's probably a good thing for my bank account.

There You'll Be

Yeah, that would definitely keep you focused.

And would help having a mission, for sure.

sunnykerr

Very true.

But I also mean that this is why I shop a lot "online."

That's how I know what I expect when I get to the store.

So I avoid browsing or not finding stuff I like.

There You'll Be

Yeah, I get that.

Anything I see online, I pretty much would have to buy from online.

So there would be no trying on, and returning if they didn't fit right.

Our stores just have little in them.

sunnykerr

Yeah, at least here you can return the stuff you bought online to the physical store, if it doesn't fit or whatever.

But I don't really like to buy stuff online.

I need to see how I like being in it.

There You'll Be

Oh wow-that never entered my mind.

I didn't realize you could do that.

Yeah, I know that's very important for you.

I used to have to do that when it was for work uniforms.

I think you spend a lot more time around people than I do, so you wear an outfit longer, and can't come home and change as soon as your in the door a short time later.

sunnykerr

See, I hadn't thought of how often you might change your outfit on any given day.

Yeah, I essentially have to wear all day what I decide to put on in the morning.

Hence looking at the weather and getting very familiar with the basics of layering.

Mind you, I have more clothes now than I have ever had in my life.

And, proportionally, I don't think I've ever owned so many things that I do like.

So there's no hardship in it for me.

I rotate my wardrobe often enough that I don't feel too stuck with what I have.

There are just some seasons where my options are more limited.

There You'll Be

Yeah, I change at least a couple of times during the day.

Usually into more and more comfortable clothes.

You definitely have to think through your outfits, as you can't do that.

That all makes sense-the way you rotate your clothes.

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the clothes and outfits you have.

sunnykerr

I do try not get stuck in a sartorial rut.

I can't change during the day, but I usually have a lot of alternatives with me at work.

Things like cardigans and scarves if I get cold.

And I don't put on my jewellery till I am at work because, in summer, I start sweating the moment I'm out the door and, in winter, it just starts a little later when I get to the metro.
