Place: A Frame Store in Anywhere, CA
Time: Mid-morning
Customer: Excuse miss, do you work here?
Me: Yes, I do. How can I help you?
Customer: I have this very important picture of Our Holy Mother Mary, The Queen of Heaven that needs framing. Do you think this frame would work?
(She holds up a cheap metal silver frame of thin and dubious construction)
Me: Hmm...do you have the picture with you?
Customer: Yes, I do.
(She reveals a very ornate print of the Virgin Mary looking very pious. None of the colors or theme match the frame she has chosen)
Me: Perhaps a more suitable frame would be these over here?
(I point out a few wooden frames with nice detailing that reflect the tone and color of the print)
Customer: Oh no. Those aren't classy enough for Our Holy Mother Mary, The Queen of Heaven. You have to remember, honey, she's going to be hanging up next to Jesus...

People certainly are funny.
The answer is yes, always yes - just kidding...your example would translate to all retail. Clothing - yeah, I've watched women intentionally buy the wrong size and have even seen a man tell me is wife WILL buy the wrong size because she WILL lose the weight. WHAT?!
Oh Jesus!
