MODEL ANSWER:

Everyone loves fashion nowadays. Even I also like to try new outfits everyday and especially on the functions or special occasions. I have got a huge collection of different dresses and suits in my cupboard.

Here, I would like to talk about a traditional suit, which my maternal gave me as a gift on my birthday. It is a bottle green suit with magenta and golden embroidery. It also has a multi-coloured stole to go with it which had a golden lace on all sides. It is studded with golden beads. It has a very traditional ethnic touch to it. It is a very beautiful suit

The stole is in crinkled silk. She gave me matching accessories also. She gave me a golden beaded purse to go with it. Whenever I wear the suit, I wear my traditional Punjabi shoes, which match perfectly with the suit.. When I wear that suit everyone compliments me. I feel very good when I receive those compliments.

Actually, my aunt runs her hobby classes of cooking in Chandigarh. I stayed with her during my vacations and helped her.. She could accommodate more number of students because of my help. She offered me money, but I refused because I had not helped her for money. So she bought this expensive suit for me on my birthday. I really like the suit and have worn it on many occasions. Last time, I wore this suit at my college farewell.
