Hey there, dear reader!
Welcome to this mini-tutorial on how to spend a few hours of your life, ie. how the precious time we have for ourselves and our loved ones and activities we would like to do simply goes to ... shopping.
Well yes, as simple as that. I know that many readers would enjoy this activity because during shopping time we are surrounded by many beautiful clothes, shoes, and fragrances that come from perfumeries, you see the perfect decoration for your home - if you have one, you try on dresses, and you see yourself in many mirrors that are everywhere in stores. I don't think I have met myself as many times in the last month as I did today in these few hours we spent in the shopping centre...
Also, I have realized that I am a bit lost. I don't see myself in the garments that are offered for young girls... they are too... not my style right now. And no, I think I don't fit the style of too serious lady clothes either. I am in between everything. I didn't even want to buy myself a shirt or a dress but if I wanted to I would not be able to choose anything that looked good on me...
This is not a complaint. Really, it is not. (my yesterday maybe would be, but let's skip that day 😇)
As I said, this is just a mini tutorial that is easy to follow and if you like it, then you can also want to experience the magic of it.
If not, then you know what not to do.
Let's start.
As the first and starting point of this activity, you must have a son who will have his high school graduation party next month. Not one, but two, because he attends two schools. So, we need two outfits.
After searching in a few shops we finally found one pair of black classic pants that is of a good size too (my son is thin and tall so it is not that easy to find). At this point, we still didn't find a suit that would fit him or my wallet. The second hour of the suit-hunting adventure passed and we bought one nice shirt. The search continued, we still needed a whole suit, or at least just a suit jacket that would perfectly match the trousers and shirt we already bought.
ZARA was the answer, but we liked both the trousers and the suit jacket. And shirts... Somehow we made it to buy the adequate suit by parts - combining different sizes of trousers and the suit jacket as he needed different sizes of those garments. The issue that emerged was that the jacket had an imperfection - a stain that was probably made while the fabric was ironed. We asked for a different one, which arrived from the storage after just a few minutes. It was a happy moment until we spotted a similar stain at another place. Then we asked for the third one... and the same story... that one also had a similar imperfection.
Long story short - we ordered online the missing but most important part of the suit which will arrive in a few days, though I paid for everything there in the shop. The first step of the tutorial finishes here.
Let's see what would be the second requirement for this shopping activity...
You see it him here in this photo.
Please raise your hand if you recognize this little, cute creature:
He slept for a very long time in a tiny home he got, but today he went to explore with us. He went to all the shops we visited and met the gaze of some ladies who probably thought odd things about me, carrying a small hefrom in my hands and placing him in visible places.
{Did you see him in my first photo too?😁}
He posed by the cup of coffee too. I arrived at this place exhausted, after the issues we had with the suit jacket.
Actually, I said to my husband to meet in the coffee shop. He went there, ordered the sweet treats and sent me this photo as a teaser. 🤤
The second requirement was not that bad, right? The third step in this "how to lose a few hours of your Saturday" lesson is to try to find some additional material and tools for your hobby. For the rock painting thingies... a few days ago recommended me a varnish that I could use for my rocks. I found and bought this one, and already tried it at home on one of the decorated rocks.
It will work well, although I also painted (accidentally) one of my nails with this varnish. Now it is shining but I have to go to a piano concert very soon so no time to remove it. 😂
So, what do you think? How did this tutorial go...? Do you see a shopping activity as a nice time or just a necessary evil? Although I hope to take out Prince Hefromund more times, I also hope not having the need to go back to a shopping mall for some months...
