> せっかくだから、色違いでもう一つ買おうかな

What is the meaning of `せっかくだから` here?  
I had the understanding that せっかく/わざわざ are used to express the notion of
someone undergoing lot of effort/pain to do something for us.

Meaning of せっかく
せっかく insinuates that some type of work or hardship has been endured (by
someone) or there is some type of importance happening. What happened before
the line could have relevance, but the beauty of it is that infers a lot even
without. (Perhaps they came a long way to the store. Or maybe they are just in
need of sweaters [or whatever the article in question is]). I always think of
わざわざ as going out of ones way, and not really the same as せっかく。 You'll also
never hear わざわざだから but せっかくだから is very common.
