Pronunciation

clothes – clooohhhh thz

I really like to buy some clothes and skincare products because i need different kind of clothes to match different occasion. I think shopping is my hobby and if i see something i will buy it, no purpose. I think every season i should have new clothes, for example in winter i should have new clothes, even though i have many clothes in my home i should buy new and match with an outfit.

i think it is meaningful and understandable because different clothes need different shoes and bags to match them like sports clothes, casual clothes and work clothes. That kind of thing.
