One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore.

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    One person whom I think is, one person whom I think who wears unusual clothes is my friend. I know her since we were really young, like when I was in kindergarten. We have known each other since then. I do like her dressing sense, however, sometimes I feel like her dressing sense is quite unusual and weird. The reason being, she wears a lot of baggy clothes, which I understand isn't trend now. However, I personally think that it's just not showcase the true figure or personality of any person. I may be very, I might sound very judgmental over here. However, these are my thoughts because I think she is very beautiful and she has a lot of things in her to show. And I have asked her and she has tried some normal clothes like we wear these days and not a baggy one. And she was looking very, very beautiful. That is the reason I consider her that she wears, her sense of wearing or styling or fashion is quite unusual or weird. Because she herself doesn't understand what dresses looks good on her. So she's the one who might think wear very weird clothes. And I have also suggested her to look on to this thing and so that she can change a bit of her dressing sense. Definitely, it is her choice to wear what kind of dresses she wants to wear. However, I personally believe that dresses are something which enhances our beauty.

    In my circle, my brother always used to wear weird clothes, so I often find it very weird and very surprising because for almost all the functions, he wears the same old clothes. I believe that the dress attire is something that needs to be for their own selves and to impress others and it also speaks about the comfort level as well as like what their character is. So it is very important to dress properly and as it signifies the comfort level and

    So personally, what I have seen, the person that I, I won't say I admire, but the person, it's a celebrity, Ranveer Singh, a Bollywood celebrity, despite having a huge fan base for his acting, I personally find, find how unusually he dresses up, it's just how bold he gets while dressing up, which personally, I find that boldness to be quite unusual because a lot of things don't match or complement each other. Once in an interview, I saw him wearing a shirt with a long skirt, which is quite unusual for a Bollywood celebrity like him to wear. I would find pairing up a pant or a denim would be more appropriate to dress up, so that's one incident that I remember. So it could be a bit controversial because some may find this boldness to be fashionable, but it's a thin line because this fashion, I don't understand and I do find it weird to complement such pairs together because I don't personally like how it looks on him. Again, it can be a personal choice, everybody has their own taste.

    Band 6

    So, I have that one type of example, like my roommate, we share the same room, she sleeps next to me, so I know how, which type of clothes she wears, so she wears very colourful, dark colour clothes, like red pant and yellow shirts, and very tight for her body, like sleeves are very tight, so it has very, so on her hand, where sleeves are, there are some races on her body, so yeah, that type of tight clothes she wears.

    The person who dresses up weirdly, I think that is my cousin, Apiksha. She resides in Nagpur and I think she wears a different way of clothing, that's what her style is, but I think I'm not comfortable enough to wear such clothes. I think that's why I have this assumption, I believe, that she wears it differently. Although it suits her in those type of clothing, but I did not feel like wearing such kind of clothing. She's quite confident enough in whatever attire she wears in that and she wears it with beautiful smile, which looks amazing on her though and I think...

    I think the person who wears unusual cloths is Urfi Zawad. She is an Instagram influencer. I came across her while I'm scrolling Instagram. She has such a worse fashion sense. She always wears such a weird clothing. The type of cloth she uses for her outfit also doesn't look good. I think she doesn't even follow the color theory which makes the outfit look a bit awkward. She has such a weird fashion sense. She always matches the India outfit look with some western kind jewelry which makes the outfit look more awful. Maybe my fashion sense and her fashion sense would be different but still I think her fashion sense is awful.

    Band 6

    A person I know who wears unusual clothes. She was one of my classmates when I used to study in my B.Tech final year. She wore the clothes which are not meant to be worn together. She wore black colored jeans with a black colored top which is to the knee length. And I don't think she knows that her fashion sense or her dressing sense is weird. Because if she knows that her dressing sense is weird, she will practice or she will try to change it. But she never tried to change her dressing sense. She wore very majestic clothes. She used to wear very poor color combinations and also her hairstyle. She used to do three partitions of her hair and then used to do three ponytails which will just look like a horse tail, I think.

    Band 6

    We had a farewell party. Okay. So, in my daily life, I come across several people whom I consider have very unusual clothing. But here particularly, I would like to talk about a girl. She is my classmate. Her name is Kashwi. The point of view here is not judging someone on their styling, on their clothing. But actually, I just want to convey that how her clothing is quite unusual. Basically, she is not aware, I think, that what type of clothing suits her particular occasion. Like, we had several programs, several, what we call that, particular events in our school, which I consider I got to know about her styling, which I do not really much admire about. Her clothing was quite weird. She was not aware about the styling. She is not, she do not actually know the trend. She had quite collection of clothes but is not aware about the particular trend or the style which is currently going on in, on the, on fashion. And I really think that she needs to improve a lot in her styling and that would make her really look much better than she actually is. And besides from that, I personally will not like to point out someone according to their, it depends on person to person actually, that it depends on their style. But, yeah, that was my point of view about her styling. So, yeah, I could not say something about changing.

    Band 6

    It's my best friend. He always wears unusual clothes. He kind of looks very funny and his outfits are mostly weird. His outfits lack harmony. They kind of are always mismatched in my opinion. He looks dull in his outfits because the jeans he wears are not at all at the same wavelength as his t-shirt or shirt let's say or his sweatshirt. They all look all over the place and it's generally not a very good outfit. But recently I've been giving him tips about how to improve his fashion. He does listen at times but at times he fails to listen to me and keeps on wearing those weird fits. Although I've told him countless times that he doesn't look good in those fits, I still don't know if he'll ever listen to me or listen to my advice. He never takes my advice seriously. Those outfits make him look, I would say, outcast. He's an outcast and at the same time he looks very out of place wherever he goes. I hope that he changes his outfits and his dressing sense.

    Band 6

    One of my friend, she got me introduced by other friend called Shreya, and this friend name is Nandu, who wears unusual clothes all the time, she won't match or pair up with correct things. I know, according to me, she has good collection of clothes, but she don't know how to pair up them, and even if we suggest also, she disagrees with our thing, and she tells, I know the correct pattern of styling, but not that, but she don't know. She always style up with frequently dressed styles, she repeats the dress code most of the time, and she dress very simple and with minimal things, but she looks very pretty even though, but still we expect a lot from her.
