What 'suits' me

Yesterday I went out with my mom to buy an interview suit and some nice work or special occasion outfits. I have a very difficult time trusting other peoples opinions...especially when they are trying to sell me something. On top of that I don't like being rushed into making decisions on things. All of this made for an interesting day. I just say a bit about what I am looking for and people say "Try this on." I put something on and am quickly asked "What do you think?" I look at it for a few seconds while trying to wrap my mind around what I really think of something and my silence is quickly perceived as me not liking something followed by people going off to find something else. In the end I express my opinion briefly and am rushed into making a decision. I partly allowed myself to be rushed into getting stuff because it wasn't my money being spent since my parents volunteered to get me everything. If my money was at stake here I would have probably spent forever in that store and walked out with nothing figuring I would look in a few more places before making a decision. I would have also probably priced things ahead of time. It is kind of sad having my parents still buying me my wardrobe at my age, but it is something I need and wouldn't be willing to do much with otherwise so I figure it is a good thing they offered. The suit I got will not be ready for almost two weeks, so if I get an interview any time soon I will have to do a little improv with my outfit. I guess I need to apply to some more practical things before that will happen though. Soon I think I may look into shaving and getting a haircut. I guess the time for change is now and I just have to stop procrastinating and go through with things. I guess I will have to just pick a path and take it, hoping if it is the wrong path I can turn back or find a way elsewhere. Maybe I will spend my day trying to get Abby to tell me what to do.
