Czym jest moda? (First double language post)

.

Moda dla mnie jest czymś niesamowicie osobistym. Jest wyrażeniem tego kim jesteśmy, co czujemy i jak chcemy być widziani przez innych. Ma moc sprawiania, że czujemy się lepiej. Daje nam możliwość schowania się  pod warstwami materiałów i ukrycia przed światem. Jest sztuką użyteczną. Bawiącą się kolorami i wzorami. Eksperymentując z fakturą i kształtem. Zmieniając rozmiary i igrając z konstrukcją. Moda jest tym, czym chcemy żeby była. Czego potrzebujemy.

I think that fashion is a very personal thing. It is the expression of who we are, what we feel  and how we want to be seen. It has the power to make us feel better. It gives you an opportunity to hide  under layers of fabirc. Fashion is a form of a usable art. It plays with colors. Has fun with textures. Experiments with construction and size. Fashion is whatever you want it to be. Whatever you need

Buy, Buy, Baby..

Sale- the magic word that brings us goose-fleshes.

In a second it takes our brain to its greatest performance.

Our creative skills are unbelievable, we can think of thousands of excuses.

Starting from "I needed it any way" (the typical one) to "It's like it is for free".

Sales, can be like smokescreens, they won't force you to do anything

but they will make it harder to see realistically.

Paradoxically it is our sense of savings that tricks us.

Words like "half off" or "Two for one", can be great if you are buying socks or white t-shirts,

but how many winter coats or wellingtons can one person have?

But those words work like triggers.

They turn on the "saving" function in our brains.

We become more eager to buy because it works on a different level,

 he "savings=less spending in the future" level. 

However, it doesn't work like that every time.

The "two for one" is my favorite. You can often see similar ones in cinemas buying popcorn 

" If you just pay 20 more cents you will get an extra large popcorn"-COOL!

Now, think how many times walking out of  the movie you had to throw out

approximately 1/3 of your "money saving" food?

The truth is that when you are paying (only) 20 cents more,

the cost of production of that extra popcorn is considerably low 

(looking at the fact that in groceries you can find bag of popcorn for $1.00) 

and the company is more than happy to get those few pens from you.

Different mechanism of sales is that they convince you to come to the store 

(never know, maybe you will find something that you need). 

But when you do it, the chances that you will buy something gets higher. 

It's like those chewing gums next to the counters, "If I am here why not".

So maybe next time you enter shopping mall or 

take a look at your favorite online shop and see the "SALE" banner, you will think twice.
