I am doing shopping with my mother. I usually go shopping with my friends or classmates, but it is my birthday and my mother wants to buy me some new clothes as presents. So we go to a shop called Stradivarius. I really like that shop. My mother starts to laugh as soon as we get there. She says, “Almost all the clothes in the window are just like the things I wore when I was young. Those flared trousers （喇叭裤） and very short skirts.”
Back in the 1970s every Saturday morning my mother and her friends looked around the shops. Of course they did not always have money to buy the things they wanted. But they could decorate （装饰） their old jeans to make them look new. My grandmother was very good at sewing （缝补） and she helped my mother sew coloured patches （小块的布） onto her old jeans.
My mother says she really likes these styles and so do I.
