Features of shopping with a friend

I often remember a funny dialogue headmistress Ludmila Prokofyevna secretary and Vera from the movie "Office Romance":

- How do you boots?

- Too provocative, I would not take such.

- So, good boots, it is necessary to take!

Around the same vein, we are always shopping trips with my best friend. The fact is that, as you probably know, a pledge of this female friendship - a mismatch of flavors that for men (understandably so) and clothing and footwear (that did not leave the fight for the last remaining in the presence of a pair of shoes or a jacket).

If I go somewhere with a friend, always it turns out that Kate gives me excellent recommendations ... if you throw them in the particle "no".

- (Do not) take these pants, they have (not) beautiful color.

- (Do not) take this bag, it is (not) come to your coat.

- (Do not) take these boots, you look in them (not) a decent woman.

As you can guess, Katerina - woman, expressive, especially not choose words and says what he thinks. To take offense at her for that I forgot to even the second year at college, and that was ... well, quite a while ago. So I just know that if a thing is absolutely not like Kate, then it is likely fits perfectly to my style and wardrobe.

In the reverse situation is more difficult to give advice. Of course, I believe that almost everything that buys Kate, do not buy (as she still manages all of these no-no-no-things look cute - a mystery!). But on the other hand, I'm embarrassed to express their opinion in a straight line: Katya can offend.

- Well, how?

- Mmmm ...

- Well, after all ?!

- Honey, well, you know what I think about (these obscene) tight pants ... (what in parentheses crossed an internal censor)

- Well, if nothing else does not suit me here ?!

- Mmmm ... Well, you know that we have slightly different tastes? ..

As a result, girlfriend, snort, sent to the box office, then her friend dressmaker adjusts the length of pants (Kate petite girl) - and voila! Looking at it a couple of days, I realize that I have these pants would not put on, but look at them as Katya looks, would not refuse.

Moral of the story - by all means go for shopping with friends who have opposite tastes: not boring and useful. The main thing - to understand the rules of this interaction and to spare the feelings friend, expressing his own opinion. Or simply refer to the opinions of others with a sense of humor.

... By the way, once we Katya - wonder of wonders! - Awfully like the same thing. Ballerinas in colorful stripes of Paul Smith in the final sale in GUM.

But we have not quarreled.

I have a size 39, she 36, and the sale was only 41 ...
