I love it. I love it more than is healthy and more than my wallet can afford.
But I also really hate it.
Now you may be saying "how can you love it and hate it, those are the two extremes, pick something in the middle." But for me, it is the two extremes.
I love going out and buying clothes, finding new things that flatter me. I love knowing that I am in style, and that I look good when I walk out of the house. I think it's really fun to try on shirt after shirt until I find the right color and the right shape and the right style. And don't even get me started on shoe shopping. I could shop for shoes until the day I died and never get tired of it.
But at the same time, it can be really, really frustrating. As someone who tries to follow strict rules of modesty and keep my body covered, it is nearly impossible to find clothes in the summer season. When it comes to pants, my options are jean or cut offs, and its too hot for jeans and I don't like wearing shorts that short. All I want is a nice pair of capris, but those are darn near impossible to find.
This can be rather stressful, as I go to a school that doesn't allow shorts above the knee. That means that starting in a week, I have one pair of pants that I am going to be relying on for pretty much everyday of the week. That's not good. That is actually very stressful. But I spent all day in the largest mall in my area, and I couldn't find capris in any of the stores that I went into.
Just in general it was a dismal shopping day. I found a few plain basics, but nothing fun. Nothing fashionable or super stylish. Overall, I feel like my closet is kinda bleh (and mostly white, grey and black...) and I just am at a loss of what to do to liven it up without breaking the bank.
Any suggestions? Cause this 19 year old could sure use some advice.
