    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.

    I know a lot of people who wears unusual clothes but I would like to talk about my friend Abhijeet. He is a childhood friend of mine and he was really great when we were kids. He had a good sense of humor, his mother dressed him well, his father bought him many good looking clothes. But now as we are now completely adults and independent, I don't like his sense of clothing because first of all he has a very dark complexion and not every clothes suits on him. Yet he wears whatever is good looking. He don't see the other people is white or black. He just sees that this thing is looking good on him and just wear whatever he likes. I know that this is not a good thing to do because me myself am white not completely but not even dark, not even brown. I am in a complexion of white. I wear something that suits me. I don't wear anything that is comfortable or is good looking to some other people. Because I know that this thing will not be looking just as good as on him. Because I am different, he is different. His height is different and my color is different. Everything is different between him and I. But this thing my friend Abhijeet don't understand. And I have told him many times that why don't you dress up like a proper human being. Why you wear such fancy clothes that don't even suits you. He said oh this are just fashion you will not understand. And these things are told by many of his colleagues as well not only me. Even his family says this thing to him that don't wear such bad things. But he don't listens.

    Kiran, he is a friend of mine. I know him since my college. He is a person who is a freak and also a person who loves or is attracted to weird kind of dresses. Which is kind of the color combination what he wears or the style or the place. We have a certain set of cloths for the certain events. But he wears in a different way where it is not suitable for the event or function which we are gonna attend. He will be odd one out wherever he goes and whatever he wears. His choice of dress collection would be so different from a normal person. It would be a freaky kind of thing or a clumsy or a different perspective he sees. Also, the selection he makes is way too different and which clearly says he is not a human being anymore. Also, he is a very different person in life too but also a serious kind of person.

    Band 6-7

    The one person who wears weird cloths is Urfi. She is a Bollywood influencer and a celebrity from Bollywood. She had done many reality shows. One is Traitors and I think she won in that. Another one, she came as a guest in the Splitsvilla where she used to wear a weird dresses. Her dresses were made of plastic bags sometimes or she used to make her outfit from pins, sometimes yarns, dump yarns, some metallic things and also she includes some mechanical things. Recently I watched her outfit where she used to give her rolling bill like we will get in a payment, right, like that. That was so weird and she will make herself so weird. Yes, actually I don't like that kind of your clothing but she is unique and she makes some outfits for the others. She promotes her outfits. Yes, that's it.

    Some time ago I watched an Instagram celebrity called Wisdom. He is a huge celebrity. His page is about fashion and other things and he heavily focuses on this gothic type and very unusual taste of his fashions. And I have known him since a few months ago and I am following him till now. And he is a really weird personality in my opinion because his styles are really weird and if you take his individual pieces together they are really weird. But if you put them all together it's really good. But you can say in that situation be like the sum of the parts is bigger than the parts. Something like that. And I think it is really weird for him to have a personality like that and it's not practically available in our modern society. He can surely attract some views and eyes in online platforms. Apart from that I don't think there is any value in having that kind of expensive, weird and overthrowing dresses in one's wardrobe.

    Band 6-7

    So, I am going to tell about one of my colleague, Vishaka, who earlier worked with me during my first project. So, we know in office we should wear business dress or a business casual, but the attire she wore during office hours, it's like it's very unusual wear dress, you can't wear crop top or a crop jeans or something like that, moreover she wore not a formal dress but an informal dress, which doesn't look good to wear in office, we should always maintain a decorum for office, what we should wear and what we should not, we should avoid wearing crop top, jeans, we should always wear shorts, pants, jeans.

    Band 6-7

    So, I saw a lady in my office, she is not related, connected to me, but when I eat during the lunch, I notice that lady everyday, the way she dresses, I feel that is a little bit awkward and weird, because she sits in between 4 men, and she wears sleeveless and like thin t-shirts, so I think that what kind of a dressing sense that is, why she is trying to grab their attention, I think that people should dress a little bit sensibly in their office, this is not a, they are not trying to make a drama of themselves, in office you are supposed to, not supposed to wear attention grabbing clothes, that might distract others also, so that is what I think.

    To me, the person who wears unusual clothing is my friend. I have known her since childhood. In the beginning, I loved her clothing. She was really fascinating and I've always wondered how she chose that fashion, how she got the, you know, ability to match dresses for the situations. But when we came to high school, she started wearing weird clothes which doesn't fit the occasion and herself. Sometimes, she wears clothes which are really outstanding but she matches them with different accessories which does not match with the cloth and that really looks so mismatched. And also sometimes, she wears clothes which are really weird like she'll wear a top and she'll wear shorts for that which does not even matches and sometimes, she wears some accessories which is traditional with modern clothing and that also does not represent her self. And I think a clothing for a person shows her personality and who she is or who he is. But the way we choose is that matters and I think my friend has chosen a different path but that really didn't backfired her. So fashion is really important.

    A person who wears unusual clothes is Arun. He is one of my classmates in my college. I still remember the first day I met him. He wore a shirt and a kurta which doesn't even go with each other. I was like how he gets this fashion sense. He always wears vibrant colors that does not match or go with each other like neon green and neon orange. And I have always thought from where he buys such clothes because I never see such clothes in any shop. One day he wore a jeans which is of a parrot green color and then he paired it up with a dark blue sweater along with a turtleneck which is in black color which does not even go with each other and clashes all together and it was so baggy. And that day it was very hot and he wore 3 layers of clothing and all of us were sweating throughout the day. He was just chilling with all these clothes. We were like amused and surprised to see him walk so cool. He also wears different types of shades which is having different shapes. There are donut shaped sunglasses which he wears and he also has bagel shaped, lace shaped, a lot of creepy and weird glasses. That also is a very unique piece that he wore. On a particular event, he wore a black suit which we thought was very accurate and good looking for him. But he wore a shoe which was like neon orange and was a design of fire like a flame. But it was a bit more beautiful or handsome. He looked more handsome than he usually does because the dress went all together.

    So, the person who wears unusual or weird clothes, I know of, or we all know of is Urfi Javed. Urfi Javed is one of the person I know that wears clothes that are not appropriate to be worn anywhere else. I know her through all the social medias, Instagram, Facebook and all of those. She wears such unusual clothes, like she made dresses out of safety pins, garbage bags. She takes up inspiration from anywhere and also she creates the dresses herself. Yes, I would appreciate her for the creativity, but the dresses she wears are just not appropriate, like if not be worn anywhere in the public, they are just to get or grab the public attention or the attention from the paps. As it helps her gain popularity among the youth as well as people and she also earns money out of it. But nowadays, her fashion has grown over the years. She has started to dress up better and her creativity is coming out to be better. She is creating dresses that are adorable and I don't think people should dress weird. People should dress on how they feel comfortable. They should not think about the public or they should not dress to grab attention. They should dress to make themselves comfortable.

    Band 6-7

    I would like to talk about my friend. Her name is Sumi. She likes to wear different types of clothes. The reason of wearing that type of clothes which seems unusual to others is that she is highly influenced by 90s cultures and actors. So she started following 90s movies since her childhood and thus she tries to dress herself that way till date. The reason we find her clothing outdated because our fashion changes every four to five years. For example, she would like to wear bell-bottom pants, puff-sleeved suits etc. Although they have become a fashion these days but with a twist. But she would like to wear that using her wardrobe from her mom's wardrobe.
