I know this is really off-topic but this is something I want to talk about: SHOPPING. A lot of people don’t understand why girls like to shop so much; I don’t think I really know either, but I do know that it is something I really enjoy. I love shopping, but something I don’t understand is: why are some things so expensive? I mean, you go to some stores in L.A. and it’s $200 just to go inside! I mean, come on! It’s just clothes! Why do some people pay $500 for a pair of sunglasses? Some people call it “high fashion.” I call it “rip off.” People get designer outfits for like, $2000! Why? You could go to a reputable department store and find the same thing on sale for a lot less. I understand that quality is very important in clothes, but don’t waste your money on something you can get for a lower price and the quality is still good. Another question a lot of people also don’t understand is: why do girls have so many clothes? Well, I don’t know what other girls are thinking, but in my opinion, we have a lot of clothes because we either a) Need to buy something in a store we absolutely love, or b) We don’t like to repeat outfits too much, so we like to be able to put different outfits together. Something I don’t like about Costa Rica is that, the stores here are not very good. I don’t mean prices or quality, but all of the clothes look the same. Why is it so hard to find the right pair of jeans? In my opinion, most of the clothes here are meant for the same shape. What I like about shopping in the U.S. is that there are many different fashions that come in all different colors for all sizes and shapes.
