I saved $250

But did I do the right thing?

So there I was, in one of the city's finest shopping malls with a $50 gift card to Solstice when I got the urge to buy a pair of shades to match my car. They had to be red and they had to be sporty.

Narrowing down the choices to red limited the selection by a lot. And I liked them all. The first ones were amazing. Sophisticated. Fun. Dior. Expensive. I put them back in their spot on the wall.

Then I looked at some others that were also pretty awesome, sportier and less expensive and narrowed it down to a Carrera pair. But I couldn't forget the Diors. Three guys were also there shopping, so I did a test. I tried on one then the other.

One liked the Dior. "They're more for a girl," he said.

The other two liked the sportier pair - especially when I told them the price difference.

Then I told them why I wanted new shades. "They're to match my Porsche."

"You have a Porsche? And it's red?" one of them asked. Then all of the fingers pointed to the sportier pair.

So I bought them and saved $250. Did I make the right choice?

Happy shopping to the single girls,
