Yes I really hate shopping and I only do it to avoid going out in my PJ&#8217;s when I&#8217;m out of real clothes. I don&#8217;t get people who count it as a &#8216;hobby&#8217;. I once had some girls ask me as a normal topic of conversation if I think \u00a0for example that &#8220;june is a good month for shopping&#8221;. Evidently I didn&#8217;t know the answer.\u00a0And whenever I go shopping I like to choose my clothes based on self-expression. I don&#8217;t care where they were made, or what is &#8220;fashionable&#8221; this time of year, of what Paris Hilton was wearing in her latest TV appearance. So as a result I also cannot stand vendors giving me their opinion about which dress makes me look thinner or which dress goes better with my skin color. And that was today&#8217;s statement.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[263,366,454,455,1029,1049,1050,1051,1224,1227],"class_list":["post-844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-stories","tag-clothes","tag-dress","tag-fashion","tag-fashion-victim","tag-self-expression","tag-shop","tag-shopping","tag-shopping-addict","tag-vendor","tag-victim-of-consumerism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayazankoul.com\/amalgam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
