My Attitude Towards Fashion
Listen to Julie's attitude towards fashion. Then take the audio quiz and do the same for you.
I’m extremely fashion-conscious and I spend quite a lot of
time on my appearance. I don’t think it’s that unusual – if you look around my
office, you’ll see everyone looks pretty stylish, especially the women.
In my opinion, being fashionable is very positive because it shows you have pride in yourself. And I also think what you wear reflects your personality, so you should choose your clothes and accessories carefully.
I admit that fashion designers can go too far sometimes. I hate it when they use real fur, and I’ll never wear something that doesn’t suit me just because it’s the latest fashion.
My favorite outfit at the moment is a little black velvet dress by Dolce & Gabbana™ which I wear with leggings and high heels. To be honest, I don’t have that many designer labels in my wardrobe because they’re so expensive. I just can’t afford it.
My boyfriend’s not interested in fashion at all. He likes me looking good, but he never makes an effort. He usually just puts on baggy jeans and a T-shirt, even when we go out. I get annoyed about it sometimes because he looks really scruffy, but he says he prefers to be comfortable and I can’t really argue with that!
