1. 0:00Hi everyone! My name is Mia,
2. 0:02and today I would like to talk about buying clothes.
3. 0:06Last weekend, I opened my closet before work
4. 0:10and realized
5. 0:11that I had been wearing the same few outfits
6. 0:14again and again.
7. 0:16Some clothes were comfortable but looked a little old,
8. 0:20and some still looked nice
9. 0:22but did not fit my daily life anymore.
10. 0:25That made me think more carefully about
11. 0:28the way I buy clothes.
12. 0:30Most of my clothes are for work,
13. 0:32so I usually choose items that are neat,
14. 0:35comfortable, and easy to match.
15. 0:38I do not need very special clothes for the office,
16. 0:42but I still want to look clean and prepared.
17. 0:46On normal workdays,
18. 0:48I often wear a simple blouse with trousers or a skirt.
19. 0:52Sometimes I wear a plain dress with flat shoes.
20. 0:57I like outfits that do not take too much time
21. 0:59in the morning,
22. 1:00because my mornings are often quite busy.
23. 1:04In the past,
24. 1:05I sometimes bought clothes too quickly.
25. 1:09I saw a nice shirt in a store,
26. 1:11tried it on for a few minutes, and decided to buy it.
27. 1:15But after I brought it home,
28. 1:17I did not wear it much.
29. 1:20Maybe the color was difficult to match with my other clothes.
30. 1:24Maybe the fabric was not comfortable after a long day.
31. 1:28Sometimes the style looked good in the store,
32. 1:31but it did not feel like me in real life.
33. 1:34Now I try to shop more slowly.
34. 1:38Before I buy something,
35. 1:40I think about when I will wear it.
36. 1:43I ask myself if I can wear it to work,
37. 1:45on weekends, or for a simple dinner with friends.
38. 1:50If I can only wear it one time,
39. 1:52I usually do not buy it.
40. 1:55I prefer clothes that can be
41. 1:57used in different situations.
42. 2:00Color is one thing I care about.
43. 2:03I often choose basic colors like white,
44. 2:06black, beige,
45. 2:08light blue, gray, and soft green.
46. 2:12These colors are easy to mix together.
47. 2:15One white blouse can go with black trousers,
48. 2:18a beige skirt, or jeans.
49. 2:21I do not have a very big wardrobe,
50. 2:24so I need clothes that work well with what I already have.
51. 2:28Fabric is also important.
52. 2:31Some clothes look beautiful in photos,
53. 2:34but the fabric is too thin,
54. 2:36too rough, or too hot.
55. 2:38I prefer clothes that feel soft
56. 2:41and are easy to wash.
57. 2:43I also check the buttons, zipper, and stitching.
58. 2:48If a button is already loose in the store,
59. 2:50I know the item may not last long.
60. 2:54I do not want to spend
61. 2:55money on something that looks old
62. 2:57after only a few washes.
63. 3:00Size is another thing I check carefully.
64. 3:03I do not like clothes that are too tight,
65. 3:06especially for work.
66. 3:08If my clothes are uncomfortable,
67. 3:10I feel distracted.
68. 3:12When I try on clothes,
69. 3:14I do not only look in the mirror.
70. 3:16I sit down, move my arms,
71. 3:19and walk a little to see if they are really suitable.
72. 3:23Sometimes I buy clothes online because it is convenient.
73. 3:27But online shopping also has problems.
74. 3:31The color may look different from the picture,
75. 3:33and the size may not be correct.
76. 3:36Before I order,
77. 3:37I read the size chart and customer reviews.
78. 3:41If many people say the item is smaller than usual,
79. 3:45I think carefully before buying it.
80. 3:48I also try to control my budget.
81. 3:51After I receive my salary,
82. 3:53I keep money for important things first, such as food,
83. 3:57transport, bills, and savings.
84. 4:01If I still have extra money,
85. 4:03I may buy one or two clothing items.
86. 4:07I feel happier when I buy something useful,
87. 4:10not something I only like for a short moment.
88. 4:13From time to time, I clean my closet.
89. 4:17I keep the clothes I wear often
90. 4:19and remove the clothes that no longer fit me.
91. 4:23Some clothes are still good,
92. 4:24so I give them away if they are clean and usable.
93. 4:29A simpler closet helps me see what I already have,
94. 4:32and it stops me from buying the same kind of item
95. 4:35again and again.
96. 4:38On weekends, my clothes are more relaxed.
97. 4:41I usually wear T-shirts, jeans,
98. 4:44simple dresses, or sneakers.
99. 4:47If I meet friends, I may choose something a little nicer,
100. 4:51but I still care about comfort.
101. 4:54Buying clothes is not only about looking good.
102. 4:57For me,
103. 4:59it is also about choosing things that fit my work,
104. 5:02my budget, and my real daily life.
105. 5:06I do not need many expensive items.
106. 5:09I just need clothes that are simple,
107. 5:11useful, and comfortable enough for the person I am now.
108. 5:26A closet is a small space or cupboard where people keep clothes, shoes, or other things.
109. 5:35I opened my closet and chose a blouse for work.
110. 5:48A wardrobe can mean a piece of furniture used for storing clothes.
111. 5:55My bedroom has a large wardrobe for clothes and shoes.
112. 6:00It can also mean all the clothes that a person owns.
113. 6:05I try to keep my wardrobe simple and easy to use.
114. 6:17An outfit is a set of clothes that someone wears together.
115. 6:23I chose a neat outfit for the office.
116. 6:35A plain dress is a simple dress without many colors, patterns, or decorations.
117. 6:43I like wearing a plain dress because it is easy to match with different shoes.
118. 6:57To match means to look good together or be suitable together.
119. 7:03This white shirt can match many skirts and trousers.
120. 7:15If something is rough, it does not feel smooth when you touch it.
121. 7:21I did not buy the blouse because the fabric felt rough on my skin.
122. 7:35Stitching is the lines of thread that join pieces of fabric together.
123. 7:42I checked the stitching to see if the dress was well made.
124. 7:53A zipper is a small device used to open and close clothes, bags, or other things.
125. 8:02The zipper on my bag was broken, so I could not close it properly.
126. 8:14Last weekend, I opened my closet before work
127. 8:28and realized that I had been wearing the same few outfits again and again.
128. 8:52Some clothes were comfortable but looked a little old,
