Everyday Clothes
I have two teenage children who love shopping for clothes. They go to the mall with their friends every Saturday.
On school days, my son, Stan, likes to wear blue jeans1 and T-shirts2. He only wears a suit3 on formal occasions like weddings or funerals. He feels comfortable wearing a jacket4 but not a tie5. My daughter, Lily, likes to wear tight pants6. She wears a dress7 or a skirt8 and blouse9 for parties or dinners. She doesn't feel comfortable in high heeled shoes10 and loves wearing casual and sporty clothes. When Lily visits her aunt in Texas, she buys cowboy boots11, tight blue jeans and a cowboy hat.
In Winter, my children wear coats12, hats13 and gloves14 on cold days. When they go skiing, they put on toques and mittens15. Mittens are warmer than gloves. My son doesn't like rainy days because he has to wear a raincoat16 and carry an umbrella17. My daughter loves to wear the scarf18 that I bought for her birthday.
In the summer, Lily and Stan usually wear shorts19, tank tops20 and sandals21 to the beach. Sometimes on weekends, we go walking in the mountains so they wear hiking boots22 and thick woolen socks to protect their feet and toes.
Once a year, my children come home with a bag of clothes each. My son buys two sweaters23, and a pair of leather shoes. My daughter buys a black belt24 to wear with her blue dress, a pair of grey pants and a matching jacket. She also buys a green blouse.
My children have no problem spending money. They think money grows on trees!
