Clary was always amused when she went shopping with Izzy. Her parabatai loved clothes, so when Magnus had suggested going to Mauritius, she knew Iz would want to go out. To be fair, Clary could probably do with a new swimsuit, it had been a while since she’d used it. Grinning as she watched Izzy browse through the racks, Clary let her get on with it and contributed when Izzy held up items like she was doing now.
Izzy adored shopping, it was most definitely her favourite pastime. And shopping with Clary was always fun because she loved making her best friend and parabatai try clothes she maybe normally wouldn’t try. “Okay, so we have some cute outfits to try. What else do we need?” she said as she threw the items she’d just shown Clary over her arm.
“Well, I didn’t think I needed a whole new wardrobe, but…” Clary teased, winking at her friend as she nodded towards the clothes in Izzy’s arms. “Anyway, I could probably do with a new swimsuit. And some sandals or flip flops,” she suggested. “You?”
“Oh please Clary, we’re going to Mauritius of course you need a new wardrobe” Izzy grinned at her with a cheeky glint in her eye, “Ooo yes bikini and sandals are definitely a must” she nodded.
“Wait, what? No, no, no, I said swimsuit Izzy,” Clary hurried to keep up with her friend. “I uh...I don’t do bikinis,” she told Izzy with a nervous laugh, because when it came to fashion, if Izzy set her mind to something, that was usually what happened.
“Swimsuit, bikini, it’s the same thing” Izzy waved her free hand before rolling her eyes at Clary, “What? Of course you do, you have a great body. It’ll be even better now we’ve been training” Izzy said like it was the most natural thing in the world to chose a bikini, who wore suits anymore?
“Well...I guess but I’ve just never had one before,” Clary shrugged. “But I guess...how many times do I get to go to Mauritius?”she asked cautiously.
“Oh well this will be fun. We’ll find you the best bikini ever, it’ll blow Jace’s mind” Izzy told her with a wink as they moved to the swimwear section of the shop.
“Hmm…” Clary replied dubiously, picking up on of the skimpier looking outfits. “You’re not going to put me in something ridiculously tiny like this, are you?” she showed the outfit to Izzy with a disbelieving look on her face.
“Clary, it’s like you read my mind!” Izzy told her seriously before laughing at the look on her friends face, “Please. I would hope you’d know me better than to think i would pick anything with animal print on it!” she sounded almost insulted.
Clary took a second to look at the bikini with a frown. “Seriously? The animal print is what's wrong with this thing?” she asked, baffled that the fact it was barely a scrap of material wasn't the problem. “I am not wearing anything like that,” she put the bikini back on the rail and walked away. “I'm not looking like a stripper on holiday,” she told her friend.
“Careful now, I have a few bikini’s like that, are you suggesting I’m a stripper?” Izzy asked with an eyebrow raise as she sorted through more bikini’s, “Oh look how about a sparkly one? She grinned holding up a bikini Magnus would be proud of.
Looking at the bikini in astonishment, Clary shook her head and looked up at her friend. “Izzy...it’s got no straps, I can’t wear that in public!” she laughed and pushed her hair back from her face. “I was thinking something more like….this,” she picked a bikini up which seemed more modest and showed it to Izzy.
“Of course you can and I bet Jace would be a big fan” she winked, before rolling her eyes at her best friend. “I don’t know it seems a little...too much” in both pattern and material in Izzy’s view. “Ooo how about this one?” she asked, it was definitely cute.
Clary tilted her head and looked at the one Izzy was holding up. “Yeah, that is cute, I guess I could wear that,” she shrugged and put the one in her hands back on the rack. “Ok, I’ll try it on,” she pointed at Izzy’s suggested bikini before turning to look at a couple of other options and holding another one up. “What about this one? Looks classy, right?”
“Okay, now that one I like. The halter neck is adorable” Izzy nodded after considering it for a moment, “See you can do this. I knew there was a woman with taste in there somewhere” she winked with a little smirk.
Clary huffed and gave her an amused, pouty look before shaking her head and giving a little laugh. “Just because I prefer jeans and a t-shirt doesn’t mean I can’t be classy,” she smiled as she returned to looking through the other outfits. “I guess tankinis are out of the question?”
“If you say so” Izzy said in a sing song voice as she wound up her parabatai, “What are you like ten? There is never a reason for a tankini Clary” Izzy told her with a sigh and a shake of the head.
Clary threw her head back and laughed at her friend. “Only you would have such strong feelings about swimwear,” she remarked, walking around the rack to stand next to her friend. “Ok, last choice for me to try on is yours, but if it looks more like a piece of string than a bikini I’m vetoing it,” she nudged Izzy’s arm and gestured to the racks around them with her other.
“Fashion is important” Izzy said, before turning back to the rack, “Oh how about this one? It’s different but I love the print” she held it out for Clary.
“That’s...actually really nice,” Clary tilted her head as she looked it over and reached out to take it from Izzy’s hands. “Ok, so that’s three to try on, more than enough for me, what about you?” she had a scout around nearby and pulled out two to show her. “What about these?”
“See!?” Izzy said, “It’s so easy to pick things, you do have a good eye for this” Izzy grinned as she nodded in approval of Clary’s choices and gestured to her friend that they should go to the changing room and start trying everything on, “Let’s go see how much of this we get to take with us” she winked.
Clary rolled her eyes and followed behind Izzy. “I’m only buying one Izzy!” she told her friend resolutely. No doubt they’d both come out with at least two.
