I LIVED IT: I Asked for Someone’s Opinion on Two Options and They Chose the Wrong One

I Lived it:

I always appreciate input from others before I make a big decision, but in some cases, I guess it isn’t always necessary. However, I only learned this when I showed two different outfits to my friend Kelly, asking her which one looked better, and she shockingly chose the wrong one.

 

Well, what now?

 

I want it to be known that I had no idea which one I liked better when I brought both options to her, but after Kelly picked the one with the black pants and black top instead of the one with the white shirt and yellow skirt, it all became abundantly clear to me that she made the wrong decision. I wish I could go back in time and change the way things went down, but I simply can’t! 

 

Will it be rude if I wear the other outfit now? I don’t want her to think that I don’t value her opinion, even though she was definitely wrong in this case. Or maybe I’m the one who’s wrong! Or am I?

 

Some may say that I shouldn’t have to depend on other opinions in the first place, but if I followed that advice then I would still be stuck at the beginning, having no idea what to wear. I needed someone to say the other option so I could realize the first one was what I wanted after all. What’s so hard to understand about that?

 

Should I just not go on this first date with the woman of my dreams at a restaurant booked out three months in advance after all?

 

 

Since both options — wearing what she suggested and wearing what I actually want — were totally out of the question, I decided to put together a completely new outfit that used none of the aspects from the first two. This way, no one gets hurt. I’m obviously still holding onto that first outfit for another time in the near future, though.

 

I am still stuck on what pair of shoes I should wear, but I’m just going to close my eyes and pick one. It’s not worth all the drama.
