Well, it made you look fancier!
Another example of an “expectation vs. reality” scenario where the end result turned out to be better than what the person wanted: this girl went to her hairstylist for a simple hairdo, but ended up with something a lot fancier.
Although it wasn’t the exact hairdo that she had hoped for, it still looks great by our standards. This fancy hairdo resembles something the women in the Regency era would go for, and who doesn’t want to look like English nobility?
