In the past I tended not to go for the styles and fashion thing - you know girls, sometimes, went really unpredictable and intuitive on their tastes of fashion. I've tried few times when shopping with Landico, to make some boy-guessing on her pick on clothes, bags, boots, accessories; unfortunately the hits rate went low - really low.
This year I decided to make it a challenge.
Going into boutiques I turned pretty freaked out. How am I suppose to pick the best among all the dazzling girly stuff? Wandering within the strips, checkerbox, spots and plain patterns, my head started to swell. My mind rewinded back to every snapshot of her, back in my memory I saw all kinds of fashion style and seems there is no perfect formula for the pick.
Damn, I told myself.
At this very moment of confusion and frustration, the worse came, three salesladies started to spin around me, offering various advice and suggestions.
"What is your girl's skin tone?"
"Is she tall or small?"
"What's her favourite color?"
"This bag looks good and young, its our top sales!"
"How old is she, for girlfriend or for your wife (what?!)"
Alright I gave up, when I was about to step out the shop with white flags flying above me - the branch manager (I suppose) approached.
The middle-aged lady smiled at me, and said to me gently: "Having a headache picking for girl?"
I nodded.
She followed: "Just now, which is the first product you picked up on your hand?"
I peeped on the scarf aside.
"Trust your gut feeling, that is the one."
==========================
Finally, I walked out with the scarf on hand.
Love, sometimes, is intuitive.
Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
Very nice piece of story, and very sweet as well!
