Suppose you go for shopping and you found a dress or an item that you wanna buy but its price is too high. So you really wanna buy it but its price is high that creates a confusion whether to buy it or not. I'd say if this dress is worth your happiness then buy it for what it's worth which is same as 'to take it for what it is' Hope this helps!
