I just bought boots from Baby Phat and I had never actually shopped there before or really set out to look through their stuff, but I really love them and am thinking about getting a new bag too! At first I thought that some of their stuff wasn't really my style so I have kind of pushed that brand aside a little bit, but then I was browsing a few weeks ago and I came across their website and ended up looking through and found the cutest boots for this outfit I had bought for my friend's birthday so I ended up getting them and I have recommended it to all of my friends too.
It is weird how we kind of type different stores and brands and give them an overall image and mindset and decide by seeing one or two things that we either do or don't like the whole brand and whether or not it is out style. I did that with Baby Phat, as well as a lot of other stores and then accidently or randomly I went into the store or went online to their website and ended up finding something really great and buying it. I guess you can never really shut anything out. You never know what you will find where and you have to be keeping your eyes open and your mid open to new ideas wherever you are and trying new things.
I conserved myself to be a pretty conservative and close-minded person a few years ago and I seriously had a fear of trying new things, but then I ended up dating one of my friends, who I thought was seriously insane for trying all the things he does and I ended up liking a ton of new foods and I went skydiving and have tried so many new and fun and exciting things and even though we aren't together anymore (and I am still pretty uptight) I always say yes to trying something at least once.
Whether it is a new food or an activity or a group or even a shirt or a class at school, you should try new things every once in a while, it is exciting and you never ever know what will happen. You may find something you hate (a lot) but you may also find something that you love too.
