- “It really depends on my mood and the season. I like to buy something new every now and then when I’m feeling like I need a little pick-me-up, but I’m not one to go on shopping sprees all the time. “
2.” I’d say it varies. I’m always on the lookout for something new, but I don’t buy clothes too often. Every few weeks I’ll find something I really like and pick it up, but I’m not one to go on a shopping spree every month.”
A “little pick me up” is an idiom used to describe something that helps to boost one’s mood or motivation. For example, you could say, “I need a little pick me up after this long day, so I’m going to get an iced coffee.”
What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
1”. I like to keep up with the latest trends, but I also like to mix in some classic pieces. I usually go for comfortable, stylish pieces that I can mix and match with different outfits. “
To mix and match means to combine different items to create an outfit or look. For example, someone might mix and match different colours and patterns of clothing to create a unique and stylish look.

- Do/did you have to wear a school uniform in school?
- “Yes, I had to wear a school uniform when I was in school. It was a navy blue skirt and white shirt with a navy blue blazer and tie. I had to wear it every day, unless I had a special activity or occasion that required something different. “
- “Yeah, I had to wear a uniform when I was in school. It was pretty basic – white shirt, navy skirt, and a navy blazer with a tie. It was a bit boring, but it was nice to not have to think too much about what to wear each morning.”

- Are there any kinds of clothes that you don’t enjoy wearing?

2.” I’m not a fan of clothes that are too busy or flashy, so I usually stick to more muted tones and classic pieces. I also don’t like to wear anything too trendy, so I usually go for timeless pieces that I can wear for years.”

- “I usually buy my clothes from a combination of places. I like to shop in stores and check out the latest trends, but I also like to shop online for more unique pieces. “
