Stereotypically women are known to love shopping. Buying that new pair of shoes or those cool designer pants makes us feel good about ourselves. Buying pretty panties and bras is always a treat.
However. I know that if you are a woman chances are you have had a bad shopping day. A day where you go to the mall and you try everything on and nothing fits. It is either too small or makes you look fat. The shoes are too tight or the shirt is too big.
On those days we can’t even buy bras. We try on a million different kinds but no matter what we do the bra just does not fit great. The straps fall down or it does not cover everything or it makes your breasts look bumpy. It is depressing and it makes us feel subconscious. However if you do have those days don’t feel alone most women do.
I’m sure we all wish that could be invented so we don’t have to experience any bad bra-shopping days. However bras have come along way in the last 40 years and I expect the improvements to continue.
Women deal with a lot of emotions. We feel bloated some days and other days we feel sexy. If you go shopping and you don’t find anything don’t feel bad. It is not your body it is that your mind is not in the right place. To find things you like you have to feel confident. My recommendation is to shop when your mind is clear and when you feel good about yourself.
Not that I don’t like shopping but normally when I do go it’s alone so I don’t have feedback and I miss out on the shopping with the friends experience. I often don’t find anything but that’s more because I don’t want to spend a lot of money on close rather than I don’t think anything looks good. Either way it’s best to go shopping when you’re in the mood for it instead of when your already feeling down or exhausted.
Yes I agree. Attitude when shopping is key. It’s just like getting dressed and going out for the day with the clothes you already own. If you feel confident it will show. If you don’t feel good about yourself do not go shopping. The whole day will consist of you looking in the mirror trying on a rediculous amount of apparel and putting yourself down until you break out into tears from all of the self-criticism. And another great tip is not to go out and eat before going shopping. Especially if you plan on trying on pants!
