나는 나만의 스타일을 고집하는 편이다. 나한테 잘 어울리는 옷을 골라서 입는다. 물론 계절에 적합한 옷을 입는다. 여름에는 가볍고 밝은 색상의 옷을 자주 입는다. 겨울에는 어두운 색상의 두툼한 옷을 입는다. 평소에는 편하게 입는 것을 좋아하는 편이다. 그렇지만, 일을 할 때는 업무에 맞는 옷을 입는다. 결혼식과 같은 특별한 행사에 갈 때는 옷에 신경을 많이 쓴다.

[Response]
I’ve put on some pounds recently. I can’t fit into a lot of the clothes I wore before. I’m holding on to them because I want to wear them again when I shed some weight. There are also clothes I haven’t worn a lot since I bought them. They appealed to me when l bought them, but they lost their appeal after I wore them a few times. Some clothes I don’t wear because they shrank in the wash, or because they became discolored.
[해석]
최근에 살이 조금 쪘다. 그래서 예전에 입었던 옷들 중에 지금은 안 맞는 옷들이 많다. 살을 빼면 다시 입어야겠다는 생각으로 버리지 않고 갖고 있다. 한편, 사 놓고 잘 안 입게 되는 옷들도 있다. 막상 살 때는 마음에 들어서 샀는데, 몇 번 입고 나면 별로 마음에 들지 않는 경우다. 그 밖에도 빨았는데 작아지거나 변색돼서 안 입는 옷들도 있다.
