the demonstrative effect

Ever since I saw this girl wearing a headband with crystals and stones, I have been searching around town to find that shop which sells the stuff.
I badly want it, just because I am unable to wear a head dress in public for fear that people might take me for a fashion-forward entity. I have no intent to be a trendsetter. I just want to look cute, nice and a bit different.
I found the only store which sells it. Even though I was hesitant because it was way more expensive than the rest of the headbands I have ever owned, I still bought it. I know I will not be able to sleep if I am not going to buy it. (Had I known, though, that I will have a problem with sleeping tonight I would have let it pass).
So I marched happily, away from the seller who was busy touching the other items for sale with the money I paid her. It turned out that my purchase was her buena mano (I am the first client for the day) . That made me happier because for some reason, whenever that happens, I get lucky.
And I did.
