Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

买衣服只考虑价格当然不好,但是只考虑买好看的也不一定对。 我买衣服的标准是"只买对的,不买贵的"。 第一,自己穿着舒服;第二,衣服的质量要好,而且又不能太贵。 对我来说,衣服的样子流行不流行并不是很重要。 很多年龄大的人喜欢在打折的时候买便宜的衣服,但对那些衣服是不是适合自己却考虑得不多。 这点是我理解不了的,因为如果不适合自己,即使花钱很少,也是一种浪费。

English

When buying clothes, considering only the price is certainly not good, but only considering buying the good-looking ones is not necessarily right either. My standard for buying clothes is "only buy the right ones, not the expensive ones". First, be comfortable in what you wear; second, the clothes should be good quality, and also not too expensive. For me, whether the style of the clothes is fashionable or not is not very important. Many older people like to buy cheap clothes during sales, but they don't think much about whether those clothes suit them. I can't understand this point, because if it doesn't suit you, even if you spend very little money, it's still a waste.
