FASHION TREND

I wanted a dungaree dress at a shop just round the corner from my

apartment in France and fell in love with it. I tried it on in the shop and
found it fit perfectly so I saved up my money to buy it! My favourite thing
about the dress is that it has lots of pockets so it's really convenient to wear
around and about because it means sometimes I don't even need to take a
bag with me. I also get lots of compliments from my friends whenever I
wear it, which is always a good confidence boost.

What's funny is that this fashion trend is very similar to what people wore
back in the 1990s, in fact I've even found some old photographs of myself
from when I was little wearing a similar dress. It's amazing how trends come
back into style and we start wearing things that were fashionable 20 years
ago. I really hope this is a fashion trend that's here to stay as I love wearing
my dress so much!
