Just as I was shopping today, a thought of how the different labels that I go for are like the different friends I have.

Polo Ralph Lauren is like my best friend. One whom I have a long relationship with. One who understands me well and fits me exactly. She is always there when I needed her most. We don’t have to always be in touch, but I know when I am in trouble, she will always be there. Just like how the other day a button came off from my shirt, and I have to buy one, after visiting some other brands, I still return to Ralph Lauren and got soemthing that fits exactly and which I am comfortable in in like 5mins. She is always there, though sometimes I kinda fancy the newer “friends” or “brands” that I forgot about her, she is still standing there faithfully welcoming me back.

Lacoste is like my sports buddy or activity buddy. Someone that I’m comfortable with but the relationship is not as deep as to my best friend – Ralph Lauren. She is the person to look for when I wanna do something, just some activity. We don’t have to talk much in depth about our lives but we just do things together. We don’t have to impress one another with fanciful stuffs but we are down to basics. We are comfortable with that and I am not worried about how I may look in front of her.

Tommy Hifiger is like a friend for a season. When at one point of time, we are pretty close. She is the person I got to know and hit it off right away due to some common interest or reason. And so our friendship grew and I was kinda into her for a while. But after some time, I realise we don’t really have that much in common after all. And we are not suited to be life long friends. The topic kinda ran out and we kinda slacken in our contacts. I will still drop by once in a while to check on her but that is that.

Agnes b. is a newly made friends whom I have got to know. I have always admire her but we didn’t get a chance to really mee until one day the opportunity strikes. So being an excited child, I have been rather obsessed about her. Taking all opportunity to hang out with her. And I realise we like similar things and we can really get along. We are like close friend but not as close as that to the best friend.  But it feels like the friendship may slacken soon. Liek it’s hard to maintain the friendship. After all, I am not one who is good at that.

Then there are those Korean online shops that I am currently into. They are like those net friends that I made. People whom I interact online but have yet to meet in person or touch. They have this sense of mystery that attracts you. And of course, on the internet, everything looks perfect and good. They are how you want them to be. Until the day where they proved to be lying from what they said. If they are as to what they claimed they are, the friendship will most likely remains. But once, there is a situation where it was proven that all that was spoken was a lie, then the friendship may be striked off immediately. Currently, they are still “fresh” and so I am still into them. Not so much of a disappointment yet and they still present uniqueness.  But I know in my heart, the relationship will still not last long.

So that is it. My analogy of how my fav clothign labels are liek friends in my life.
