I'd like to walk you through my experience when I purchased a shirt at the department store. It happened last month. I bought this item with my mom. At first, I chose the blue color, and I was over the moon with the color and also the style. However, as I shopped around the department store, I found the pink color. It looked cute and suited me better. So then I told the seller that I'd like to change my purchase. Fortunately, I was allowed to make the change, and I was happy with my purchase. I remember that this shirt is the most expensive shirt I've ever bought, but I didn't feel regret since the fabric is very comfortable. Besides that, I also intend to wear this kind of item for a long time, probably over the next five to ten years. One thing I don't really like about buying this kind of item is that I have to wait a long time and try on a variety of shirts to find the best one in the end.
