India but also worldwide. And the culture week that I mentioned before it was a fashion event that I had attended as a teenager and it was life-changing for me. I was awestruck by all the beauty, creativity and glamour of the event and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. After the fashion shows there was a chance for the public to meet with some of the celebrity designers including Ms. Khanna who was by that time an idol for me. I had always wondered what had inspired her to become a fashion designer and even more importantly where she draws her creative inspiration for her amazing productions. I remember having butterflies in my stomach when I finally got a chance to speak with her and I felt like I wouldn't be able to make a sound. She was very pleasant and made me feel comfortable. I asked her my questions and she kindly replied. This was definitely one of the most nerve-wracking interactions I've ever had and it was also exhilarating. Your time is up. I will stop you there and I will take back the questions. Please put your notepaper to the side. Turn it over along with the pencil. Thank you. Part two of this speaking interview is arguably the most challenging because most people do not practice giving short speeches especially not in a foreign language on a daily basis. However, Jalil does a fantastic job and she is well prepared. Clearly she has rehearsed and practiced responding to part two questions before sitting the exam. This is evident from the way she starts her response. When the examiner tells her that her one-minute preparation time is up, she looks from the notepaper, takes a breath, places her hands on the table and calmly, confidently presents her first sentence. She explains that about a year ago she had the chance to meet with Anamika Khanna who had made her very nervous at that time. Paying attention to responding to the topic question on the cue card. Talk about a person that made you nervous. It's very important that you answer that topic question right away. In fact, Jalil not only reflects the topic of the cue card but she emphasizes it by saying that she was super nervous. Throughout her one to two-minute response, Jalil takes natural pauses checking the cue card and checking her notes. This is very important for her to give a well-structured, detailed and non-repetitive answer. A lot of students forget to do this. They get frustrated. They get nervous. They forget about their notes and they forget about the questions. They tend to repeat themselves and run out of ideas. Stay confident. Stay calm.

These dresses are definitely out because we have an adorable little mini purple one and a very cute green one and we've got a very beautiful long one which I was tempted to wear because even if I fainted it's so long it'll cover my legs and I also have this tiny little one too which I know everyone's super excited about oh and another one too but yeah no can't can't wear any of these probably not appropriate for if I hit the floor probably gonna have to choose pants and a top now I do have a huge amount of cardigans however the weather is far too warm outside it's uh 30 degrees celsius which is this many degrees fahrenheit probably like 80 degrees or something fahrenheit these are all going to be far too warm these are great for those of you that interested in a fall try on haul fall or winter try on haul because all of these will keep you warm but uh yeah probably not great for me today so they're all out of the question too look here's another one a two-piece set this is not going to be appropriate if I'm flat on the floor another two-piece set yet again probably not appropriate I don't think I should be wearing this one either or this so really that leaves me with a pair of jeans and some overalls the overalls are adorable they're actually probably out of everything they don't feel the best all of these things actually feel pretty nice I would say the quality actually this one that one feels cheap and this one feels cheap aside from that all of these things they really surprised me but I think I'm really only left with either the overalls or the jeans I could wear the top because the top's got love hearts and the jeans have love hearts or I could wear this little thing first of all let's put the jeans on the denim of these isn't quite as thick as the ones that I'm wearing but it is still denim it's not fake stretchy elastane material that's trying to imitate denim doesn't have the biggest zip unfortunately so we're at my thighs now will it make it over oh okay we're up oh these fit really nicely oh what a pleasant surprise oh my gosh they're actually like the perfect fit oh these are nice these are really nice okay oh I'm surprised oh I love them this little one has a zip on the side not particularly comfortable also I don't think that it matches these jeans at all I can imagine this you know when I when I wear this as it's supposed to be worn it'll be very cute but just something about the the cutesy love heart style versus the cottagecore kind of vintage antiquey pattern no I don't I don't think that it'll be this I think it's gonna have to be this one okay this is cute I like it it's probably a few too many love hearts actually there's so many hearts on the jeans and there's so many hearts on the shirt it's on the print and it's on the buttons and um look it might be a little bit too much but if I'm going to be a drama queen and faint in front of an entire clinic full of people I may as well do it in style right a little tiny bit itchy tiny little bit itchy and I think that it's because the hearts they're sort of uh made with kind of shiny fabric the shiny shiny fabric is a little tiny bit scratchy so it's only itching me in the spots where the hearts are which is interesting I don't remember the price of any of these things so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna play a little bit of a guessing game and I'm gonna tell you if I went into a shop a clothing store and I went oh that's cute how much I think I'd be paying for it based on how it feels and I'll put the actual price up on the screen so you guys can see whether it's a lot more or a lot less because cider is supposed to be an affordable store so I would say this top I would say about $35 $40 maybe for this that's how much it is there what do you think is worth it anyway I'm ready that was actually very easy I might just put on a little bit of makeup and then I'm heading out all righty I am ready to go and I have paired the outfit with this adorable little hello kitty bag that I got from because I figured look if I've got red hearts on my top I may as well chuck some red in there I don't wear red very often so I got the hello kitty bag and I have hello kitty slides too and I thought well the white on the slides matches the white on the hearts and then the the red of the bag matches the red on the top and I actually feel very cute so I just want to quickly tell you for anyone that uh is nervous about getting their jab first or second one of subscribers actually left a comment for me after she heard what happened to me after the first one her name's taylor and she said I had vasovagal happen the first time too my stepdad is a doctor and he said for the second shot drink a ton of water beforehand his words it's incredibly hard for a well-hydrated person to faint he also said eat a very large breakfast I then read online after you get the jab to basically start flexing your thighs butt and arms it'll keep your blood pumping throughout your body and stop your blood pressure from dropping I did all of this for the I'm going to do that I need to eat actually I'm really glad that she left that comment because I would have completely forgotten to eat I've been drinking water but I haven't eaten so I'm going to go downstairs and quickly smash some food and then let's go get the jab so so what are you doing up here by yourself come here come on let's go where did her head go you're wondering all right well i'm home now um it's been a couple of hours since i had my jab uh i feel tired let's resume tomorrow although that being said no no i don't have it in me hello it's been very many days i am finally feeling well enough to carry on with what i was doing and today today is the day i don't believe it's actually happening i'm leaving the house for the first time as a double vaxxed person and i'm going out in public to a real life place with other real life people and i'm meeting up with my real life best friend sam i have not seen sam in four months and it's actually the longest that him and i have been apart since 2007 that's a long time in 14 years the longest we've probably not seen each other in several weeks and now we haven't seen each other in four months and today dan and i are meeting up with sam and his girlfriend at flower power literally the first place i'm going post lockdown a nursery a nursery i can't i can't help myself and i figured i may as well wear the overalls from cider store because does that not just seem fitting right like wear overalls to a garden center to pick up plants with my best friend and his girlfriend and to bring them back here and all do some gardening together so i'm going to put on these overalls with uh just a white t-shirt i think right well i've encountered a slight problem which is sure to make me late because i usually run to the very last second and i was like it's fine i've got enough time to chuck on the clothes and leave i wasn't prepared for the clothes to require an instruction manual i don't actually know how to do up a buckle maybe i should just do this in the car i'm so sorry sam i was going to be on time there is that right that this is it this is what i'm wearing this is what i'm wearing see sam okay okay okay i'm ready i'm so nervous why am i nervous i'm shaking oh my god oh i'm so glad i have a mask on i would have looked so ugly yeah it is i watched it thank you it's so pretty here the sun is like shining in and oh it's so beautiful look at you and hazel you look like the sun is like beaming down on you little hazel hello okay let's see how these survive sam's driving okay my driving is immaculate is it i'll have something to say about that if anything is food i'll eat my hat and i don't wear one so it's a safe bet i love that lucky's in there lucky's ears are in the bottom of that good boy now look at each other lucky you're not part of the family lucky oh i can't carve pumpkins this halloween no it's been decided the council has spoken such happy dogs this is very good for mental health oh yeah what dogs these dogs i'm doing a uh a video right now about a certain clothing brand yeah so this thing that we're wearing is from a certain brand any guesses cider how did you work that out because we she mentioned earlier no no she mentioned like a week ago that she had done terrible camera to cider has that kind of like retroish feel yeah but i want to do a video with you where you pick the stuff because because there's like an entirely different side to cider that has like um more grunge there you go yeah i was like how do i describe yeah yeah there's some cute stuff that's why i messaged you about them yeah yeah michelle sent me a message for luisa and she's like have you seen this brand like i'm interested in trying but i don't know if it's any good and i was like funny you should say i'm actually doing a sponsorship with them oh so so so so so so so do so can i have a kiss they're kissing they're kissing relatable how did you know we were swapping company all right i know i know you're probably like get on with it hurry up woman show me the clothes sorry that took so long had a few important life things to get out of the way but now finally i can talk about the haul that you guys picked for me and uh to start off i put this cardigan with this skirt and this cardigan as adorable as it is it's really itchy it's a nice kind of thick fabric and something that i am starting to learn is that perhaps i may have sensitive skin i've had friends of mine that i've given clothes to in the past i've said this is too have it if you want and they've worn it and said it's totally fine doesn't bother me so this is potentially that type of situation it's so uncomfortable that i'm going to have to take it off i love the style it's a really warm cardigan it's got lovely lettuce trim on the sleeves it has the most adorable embroidery and uh you also tie it up in two spots so maybe susan won't get quite so upset with me because there's two bows susan not just one please calm down shows a little bit of the midriff but also it's lower at the back so uh it can hide my devastating sunburn this is what happens if you're a ginger and you step outside your house for five minutes i paired this with this skirt and when i first picked up this skirt i was actually very impressed i've owned a lot of white pleated tennis skirts as you guys might know and i would put this up there as maybe the the third or fourth best one that i've had and if i was not a youtuber that talks about fashion owning three or four white pleated tennis skirts would be absolutely ridiculous because really you only need one but i do tend to choose them in clothing halls because i want to be able to show people if this is in your price range this is what you can get or if your price range is a bit higher you can get something like this this one this is it here this is the price notice i'm not saying the price out loud i don't remember but i do know that it's affordable because that's cider's whole thing cider's entire store philosophy is that it's affordable cute clothing so because it's affordable i'm going to say that this is a 25 skirt 30 skirt something like that am i right but if it's around that price i think it's definitely worth it because it is actually a very nice fabric a kind of thick smooth fabric the inside is almost like fluffy it's not fitting me well as you can see here see how uh it's making this sort of pinched line like this that's because it's got built-in shorts and the shorts are not long enough for me if you aren't quite as tall as me or your torso isn't as long they'd be okay but this is something that i will always forever struggle with and if i were to hang on to this skirt i'd probably cut the shorts out of it because then it would sit nicely i'm still torn on this cardigan i've been wearing it for five minutes now and now it's no longer itchy so i kind of take back what i said i suppose my skin is irritated to the point of being completely over it my skin was just so irritated it was like you know what forget it never mind never i don't care that's what my skin is saying it's like you know what i don't care it's fine fine leave the cardigan on i'm fine now the discomfort is totally gone i love this cardigan so let's try on this little cropped one now i really like the color scheme i really love the combination of green and pink and these little uh not gucci marks kind of look like gucci it's got quite a big collar on it it's almost like one of those sailor moon style collars it's really thick very comfortable very very soft but this at the front here you can see how much shorter the front is to the back if i kind of yank this down a bit now it's sitting evenly but i don't think that's how it's going to sit on me all right so as i suspected uh it's longer at the back on me and shorter at the front if i pull on this at the front i can't get it to be any lower so this one is very very cropped and if i lift my arms dangerous dangerous i really really like this as an outfit i actually adore the argyle print with the plated skirt feels very preppy like a pastel preppy bb as my friend lucy would say people have been asking me for a little while to do a pastel academia haul i've done a couple of dark academia hauls but people have been saying please do a pastel academia and if i was going to do that this would like 110 be one of the outfits that i would put in it i have long spaghetti monster arms and luckily for me this one it comes down all the way i think it'll also look very cute rolled up i was right i really really like this it's just a shame that it's so short like that really short and bear in mind i'm totally flat chested like uh i have indents i don't even have an a cup i have like a negative a cup so if you have anything at all going on here it's going to probably sit like even higher on your chest so something to be mindful of now next this is the that i'm probably the most excited for because this was on my personal list if i had chosen the items for today's video i 110 was going to pick this one and i was also going to pick the pink version it's so soft it's so soft we've got 70 nylon and 30 acrylic this has the most gorgeous little roses as the buttons and that's without a doubt my favorite detail they're so nice oh i'm so excited to put this on is this gonna be too much white who cares all right so when i put this on i discovered something i was under the impression that the roses were the buttons they are in fact not the roses are just sewn on they are not buttons when you pull it aside there's nothing behind them they're actually pop close buttons which makes a lot of sense because when i was looking at this little rose i was thinking it's so delicate and soft how is that holding this together i'm gonna put it on it's gonna pop open no no it's got other buttons on the underneath this is delightful it's so soft i'm shooketh shooketh i have shocking sunburn and when i say shocking i mean like excruciatingly painful and this this is like a nice kiss of aloe vera it's soothing my skin because it's so soft i love it and if i walked into a store looking for a new cardigan and i picked this up i would personally pay 60 to 80 dollars for this does that sound ridiculous maybe but also hopefully that's a testament to just how nice it is this is so nice it's so thick the sleeves are long it's very warm the details are adorable the buttons are actually really solid to the point where i really have to like put my fingernail into it to try to pull it open it's not a flimsy pop button because i've had a few of those i've had a few of those where i've yawned and everything's everything's come out and as someone that does not wear a bra that won't happen with this it's in there nice and tight this is my favorite thing so far without a doubt my favorite thing uh next not next this one i'm gonna leave that this is so cute look how big the sleeves are this is the one i get tagged in all the time i think just about every day like clockwork someone tags me in an instagram post that shows this they always advertise this to me and they've obviously done it to you guys as well because this was one of the most highly requested items that my subscribers asked me to review picking it up right off the bat it's really soft it's not like that brown one where the brown one felt itchy we know that it slowly became less itchy as this one this feels really soft this is made of 100 polyester but it feels like a wool knit i've got a couple of cashmere knits and as ridiculous as it sounds to compare this turtleneck i thrifted this in japan and this is made of cashmere if i close my eyes hang on let me just let me just this is ridiculous other than the fact that the texture is different this is chunky this you would literally think that this was cashmere wool i can hear people screaming in the comments right now i can't believe she just compared cashmere to polyester she's so dumb yes she's dumb she also really likes this cardigan relax oh my god how's this for an outfit this is adorable this is so cute i love the fact that it's got white and it's white up here and i'm wearing a white skirt it looks so cute i'm dead look how big the sleeves are they're like balloons my goodness i'm obsessed with super long sleeves so let me see if they pass the i'm insecure test this is literally how i lived my entire high school life like tuck every inch of me away under something big and just pretend i don't exist hey it passes that test if i lift up it's not dangerous the other one was that like a little bit of an inch and a bit too dangerous this one look i can reach up i can you know play around with my fairy lights and susan won't come for me i guess when you roll the sleeves up they do look a little bit too muscly probably would not want to be wearing these rolled up like that because there's just a bit too much volume but wearing them down it's adorable and it's really soft i'm not wearing anything under this it's not feeling itchy or scratchy i'm actually really impressed i'm really impressed this is great this next one i wouldn't have chosen this for myself definitely would have chosen this i wouldn't have chosen this one there's nothing wrong with this style if you wearing these types of styles then that's great for you i'm not the biggest fan of the kind of like grandma or grandpa kind of cardigan maybe because my real life grandpa owned something that was like quite literally identical to this and he wore it every day and he lived well into his 90s and i always saw him wearing something like this so i suppose when i see something like this i just think my grandpa and i'm like no no that's not for me that's for grandpa but look if you like wearing this sort of style picking this one up this is equally as soft as this one it's a little bit thinner the knit it's not quite as chunky oh you know what i didn't even tell you look at the texture of this how cool is it it's it's like a lumpy it's actually oh it's like one of those lumpy dogs oh it's so cool yeah so this one's not quite as thick as this one but it's still equally as soft i don't know what i'm gonna put this on with underneath like see how it's so um what do i wear under this sorry i gave up styling myself is too hard i just i'd worn nothing under it much easier that way and you know what pays off it actually looks really cute with nothing on underneath this is lovely and soft and see look i can roll the sleeves of this one up and i don't get that enormous kind of bunchy i love how casual and slouchy this is and i would probably pay 30 or so for this one 35 pushing it to 40 maybe uh and also for the rainbow cardigan i forgot to give my price estimate on that one but i maybe pay 50 for that one probably 50 maybe 55 look i'll be generous and say 60 this is another one that i can recommend and if you're one of the people that asked me to pick this one you can buy this one quite happily you'll be really happy with when it turns up i actually think i'm gonna get a lot of wear out of it i don't even mind that it hasn't up until now been a style that i would wear because now that i'm wearing it now i want to wear this style this is another one that was definitely on the list of things that i wanted to pick this reminds me of house of sunny having a very simple design a very simple graphic in color block pastel colors is so in right now and this you know knowing what house of sunny costs because it's a it's a designer brand several hundred dollars for a piece like this if i saw this and i felt it having actually done a haul video that you guys will see soon where i tried on house of sunny clothes if this was just hanging on the rack with the rest of them and i didn't know this was cider store this actually does feel just about exactly the same as the designer ones that i tried on i'm not kidding in the slightest like it feels the same this is made of 52 acrylic 28 cotton and 20 viscose i love it i love it i love it i love it so much in case you didn't hear me say it the first time i love it it's so nice it's so cute i love styles like this i just i love anything that's got a collar whether it's got a zip and a collar or buttons and a collar oh my god oh i love it the color scheme is so beautiful and it's so thick and warm you're probably wondering actually because a bit earlier in the video i was saying it was too hot to wear these things today is cold this cold that's how cold it is today you know i was talking recently in a video where i was like wow the weather in michigan is so different to the weather in california today is michigan weather yesterday was california weather it makes no sense my god i'm gonna wear this so much i'm gonna i'm gonna so much wear out of this i love it it's funny when it comes to price because when i did this video about house of sunny i've tried some designer clothes and the things from house of sunny were easily like 200 300 each and if this had house of sunny written on it i would pay 200 or 300 for it and i'd be like it's really nice quality it's so worth it because it's cider store and cider is an affordable store i know that it's going to be probably like 30 or 40 dollars or if cider just had an option where it was like pay what you think i'd probably pay 60 bucks for this i would say at least it's so nice it's just really soft really nice quality it's made really well there's literally not a single thread out of no i was about to say there's not a thread out of place but this button there's a loose thread on this button aside from that it's lovely highly recommend also very excited about this one because this is peaches peaches on it okay this is adorable and soft delightfully soft and comfortable but can you see the problem here it's just not sitting on me right at all it's kind of um so look it's got these delightful buttons it's got three really beautiful shiny silver and pearl buttons that are just gorgeous when you look at them up close the details are so nice but if i don't pull it like this you know i can pull it around and now you can see them but if i just stand oh well i've just proved myself wrong before when i first put it on it was folded like that it's something wrong with the draping as i move around it's probably yeah see look look look how it's sitting look at this distinguished cardigan look at how it's sitting look giving me a shark fin on my chest oh that's annoying because i really like the color it's kind of a beige color and obviously the peaches are a really soft adorable pastel pink it's delightful to wear it's really comfortable i'm not wearing anything underneath this it's not irritating my sunburn that's how soft it is i would take this to a tailor and get them to take it in they're gonna need to take all of this in like look if i just if i gather all of that together that's how much excess fabric there is and fun fact when i was in high school uh this is what we would do at school we had these really big oversized sweaters as part of our school uniform and we would all get a hair tie and tie it up like that so it looked tight from the front i would say that this one is again probably like a 30 30 40 cardigan i'd say even if i were paying that sort of money and let's say a tailor was going to charge me like 25 or 30 to take it in i don't know how much tailors charge to take things in the only thing i've had taken in was my wedding dress and of course that was if i paid 40 for it and then paid 30 to alter it paying 70 all up i would be happy to pay that because of how comfortable it is the more comfortable the cardigan is the more frequently i'm going to wear it and the more wear you get out of something the lower your cost per wear and it does feel like it's really good quality too it does not feel like something that's just going to fall apart after one wash it feels like it's going to be with me for a long time now let's move on to the dresses and this is the first thing that i'm disappointed by this is not nice it's a 78 polyester 19 rayon three percent spandex it just feels it feels so thin and like rough it's a really awful kind of sandpapery texture this is disappointing the two things when i was unboxing everything the two things i was just blatantly disappointed by just from touching them was this one and the overalls that i was wearing obviously we all be wearing the overalls and they were cute as heck so some of you would probably be happy to look past how they feel purely for the sake of what they look like this would probably be that sort of thing if you want something that looks like this and obviously someone wants it because someone asked me to review this actually multiple people said this to me and asked me to try this so obviously there are people out there that want something like this so if it's the look that you're after you might like it but you will be disappointed probably by the feel of it it just feels really thin there's definitely something wrong here i'm not sure if you'll be able to tell on camera but it's lopsided like the the left side is higher than the right side so i'm actually i keep having to pull the left side down to make the buttons sit equally because if i just kind of readjust myself the left buttons are way higher than the right buttons there's something kind of weird going on it's got a bit of a pinched in detail here i think it's called a dart let's it's a dart and if it's not someone that knows what they're talking about will correct me in the comments below but the dart that's here and the dart that's here they are in two different spots if i tuck my thumbs into the top of it and i pull down as far as it'll go the right side it comes down to here and then i feel the resistance this side this will not come any lower than this so you can see the height difference in my hands so this is not made well it's not sewn well it's not constructed well i mean i guess if you got it and you know how to sew i suppose you could probably adjust this dart on this side which might help to sort of bring this side up higher but then if i do that look this is now making this kind of weird look no no i don't like it this next one you know how many people asked me to show this dress this is the 13 going on 30 dress no suddenly 30 no 13 i was 13 and now i'm 30 i i don't remember what the movie's called it's been a long time since i watched it don't mind my sunburn but oh my god i'm really surprised this is great this is actually made really well i'm so surprised the amount of times that i've bought things that are like replicas of something from a movie or a tv show and it's just a really cheap knockoff this feels like they've actually made it properly and it also could even in a way feel like if that movie was made now and you saw her wearing it you'd be like yeah she got that from cider it's a really thick kind of scuba material which is a bit odd feels like it would get very hot very easily i don't know if i could do any dancing in this because i might feel a little bit too warm look at the way that it fits my waist it kind of it's tucking in and then the is actually flaring out perfectly the straps are super elastic look at this look how elastic they are they are really really comfortable they're nice and thick too sometimes when you have thin straps they can dig in a little bit but they're nice and thick and super stretchy so if you've got more muscle or more mass on your shoulders or your arms it's not going to feel uncomfortable the whole thing is stretchy it's all stretchy through here elastic through here as well and it's a little bit short for me and also i'm pretty sure that the dress in the movie i'm pretty sure it was longer like it was a fair bit longer this is a bit more of a playful version of that dress but if you like it oh my goodness i can recommend it it's so nice i would probably pay 60 bucks for this dress that's what it feels like quality wise to me i'd say yeah 60 that's reasonable it feels really really good i kind of want to keep it i was going to put it on my depop and sell it for charity because i was like oh people are really gonna want this but i'm kind of tempted to keep it because it's oh it's just it's so adorable and it's coming into summer here and i actually think i would wear this okay another one that i'm really really excited to try i love midi dresses m-i-d-i because the amount of times i've said the word midi and everyone thinks i'm saying mini but i love midi dresses and this again reminds me of the whole house of sunny style love the color combo of the green and the pink and a little bit of cream it's very kendall jenner and it's really thick i would pay 100 bucks for this i would uh if this was from like white fox or princess polly i'd pay 120 for this that's how nice it feels wow that's so nice i put it on with a pair of high heels just to do it justice because dresses this long just look kind of awkward when you wear it like this but with the square-toed heels i love it it feels so nice it's so thick and i love the length of it and it's actually fitting me really really nicely aside from a couple of loose stitches this feels like such a good quality dress and if you like this style if this is like a 50 dress on the side of website 60 even it's so worth it oh my god you would love it you would literally love it ah look don't look at my sunburn no don't don't focus on wow i feel luxe i feel like that that casual opulent chic feel like i should be hanging with kendall and gigi and bella all right next dress is one that so many people have asked me to review and this is one that i've been bombarded with the facebook ads they're always showing this dress there's also like a little red one that they're always showing too i'm excited to try it because it feels very comfortable it's really nice soft material and it's very very heavy there's a lot of elastic in the um straps straps is that what you call this sleeves these aren't sleeves these are straps aren't they it also zips up all the way at the back too so i feel like once this gets zipped it'll kind of cinch me in a little bit it feels like it should be comfortable i don't like it i don't like it at all oh i had such high hopes for a living and it's just it's not fitting me right see how it looks very high up here and it's digging in really badly here and here and it kind of feels like it should be sitting lower but when i pull it down lower it exposes all of this area here and it doesn't look right if i take the straps down and leave them like that i suddenly like it 10 000 times more by dropping the straps it lowers the waist height and now it's sitting on me much better but it's not intended to be worn like that so like it looks awkward i wish that i had more of this fabric and i could get someone to sew like a little sleeve across here because if that was there if that was one of those little mini sleeves i would really really like this see how now that i've lowered it it's sitting at a good height on me too but when i bring it up it's just kind of ah i think instead of me getting someone to alter this i may as well just sell this one for charity or donate it because someone will have the right body shape to suit this if it is the sort of thing that would suit your body shape i think you'd really like it it's made really well it feels very good quality but i just i can't get over the fit the way that it's fitting it's just not right the last dress another super popular one this is a very soft kind of a silky feel this is 100 polyester it probably feels on the cheaper end i would say the three things that feel the cheapest would be the jumpsuit the checkered dress and now this one it does feel cheaper it doesn't feel bad but it does feel kind of cheaper looks like it's got some good structure in it it's got uh boning here and in the center it doesn't have any wire under the cups but it's padded in the cup so it might be good value wise just from touching it i probably wouldn't pay any more than about 20 20 dollars or so for this dress because it just doesn't feel worth it this one if this was fitting me the way that i wanted to i'd probably pay like 50 dollars i'd say for this dress because it feels really really good just not fitting me right but this one it feels more like a a cheaper kind of dress like 18 20 dollars or so um this is bizarre it's like a a figure skater's costume i literally feel like i should be going ice skating right now this is so weird look it's it's nice and long in the front and from the front on it is creating a kind of cute shape something i didn't realize when i was uh holding it up and talking about it it's actually got a bodysuit underneath with like clips that you can clip up the bodysuit is really long it's actually hanging down further than it needs to annoying that the shorts in the skirt weren't like that because that would have been perfect this is too long for my torso so it's not fitting quite right and it's kind of dangling about down there it feels a bit weird i didn't realize it was going to be this short on the side like when i saw the pictures i was like oh yeah yeah okay an interesting interesting shape i did not expect that i don't think i would ever what what am i talking about i don't think i know i'll never wear this i can't imagine putting this on and just going out somewhere i mean if you wanted to if that's the sort of thing that you'd wear then you may actually really like this but the boning is a little bit skewed it's actually sort of curving down and it's going off this way a little bit it's not dead straight it's a little bit like that yellow plaid dress in the sense of it doesn't feel like it's constructed very well this little bit of boning here is only that long but this one is that long can you see the difference in my fingers like look do you that the boning is literally different lengths from the right side to left side i don't like this at all if it's like a $20 dress maybe it might be worth it but yeah no little little bit too strange for me okay let's try something that i'm very excited about where is the top on the floor good so you guys obviously saw me try on this top earlier so we know that the top fits but the skirt the skirt is little very little and also what's that is that a loose thread oh okay right that came straight out of there that's a bit weird all right so you know how i was talking about my grandpa's cardigan before uh my grandpa had cushions just like this like big hard cushions and i remember sometimes i'd go visit him and i'd get sleepy because i was a little kid and my mum would offer me a cushion to put my head on and it would scratch my face that's what this is like this is rayon and spandex and it's kind of rough it's it is actually the material you would think it is like when you look at that picture and you think that kind of looks like that fabric that my grandma's couch is made of it is that fabric i thought maybe it would be like a thin cheap kind of fabric with this print to make it look like that but no it is actually that like really thick kind of cushioned couch kind of fabric it's nice but something unfortunate just happened i just breathed in and it it tore look it's such a shame because i actually did quite like this top i'm not a fan of the skirt because it's got no elasticity in it at all it's just it's almost the same width at the waist as it is around here not much of a difference and for me i would have preferred the waist to sit a little bit higher and i would have liked it to have been a bit longer but if i pull it down to an appropriate length for my body then the waist kind of sits a bit low and it kind of hangs open funny on the also because the top it's supposed to be that type of like not corset but like a tight bustier or bustier it's supposed to be tight and form fitting but oh that is my boot that is literally oh naturally what you're wearing needs to be able to hold your rib cage when you breathe in and i took a nice deep breath and if i were wearing a nice tight corset yeah i'd feel a little bit restricted but it wouldn't burst but this literally burst at the seams when i breathed in and the more that i breathe the more it is continuing to split open and now the split has come all the way up and that is now no longer safe for youtube oh dear that is such a shame because i really really liked it so if you really like this and you want it maybe go a size up because this body wise it's fitting me really nicely like look it's loose back here it's loose here it's loose at the sides so it's not too tight on me just wearing it like normal but trying to take a breath like a deep breath a satisfying deep breath i i just can't without bursting it so maybe go a size up if you really wanted this set i'm feeling these pieces on their own just based on the fabric it does feel a little bit more expensive because it's super super thick fabric so if i were feeling it like this and i didn't know that that was gonna happen i'd probably say it's like a 35 top and a 45 skirt next i've got this skirt with the teddy bears all over it this one is constantly advertised to me on facebook all the time all right so i've paired this cardigan with this skirt because it just felt right the grandpa cardigan with skirt that feels like grandpa's furniture it feels right and i think it looks pretty right too how would you style a skirt like this this feels really great i wish it had pockets i just i love skirts with pockets obviously i am ridiculous because every item of clothing that touches my skin i demand pockets so it's a bit unrealistic of me but even without the pockets it's still a really nice skirt it's fitting my waist really well got a zipper and also the length of it the length is actually really good see see the length on me this one's way better than that other skirt this skirt i would probably pay 50 bucks for it because it's so thick it feels really really good i i really hope that it's not just gonna randomly burst open at the seams i probably need to wear this a bit more put it through its paces but based on my first impressions wearing it right now it's really nice and it feels really really good it's so thick really well structured obviously you guys saw the top already i wore that out but we haven't tried it on with the skirt all right here it is this is a very cute outfit i'm so surprised by the length of the skirt i didn't think that it would be this long i'm so surprised i would so happily wear this skirt with other tops i actually think that i'd be far more likely to wear it if i wasn't wearing it with its matching top because to me it's a little bit too much good for valentine's day i would so put this outfit on and go out for a valentine's lunch or dinner with dan that would be appropriate for me but as far as quality goes i am really impressed with this one this is a really nice thick kind of knit the skirt is not sheer wow i really like this i think this is adorable i do i really recommend this one i feel like if this were a set and you're paying for it as a set i'd probably pay 80 or 90 dollars for a two-piece set like this that would feel justified and it would feel worth the price and last but not least i have the adorable long pullover sweater that feels so so soft this one is 50 viscose 30 polyester 20 nylon feels delightful and i think i'm going to put this on with the jeans all right so i put this on with the jeans because it just feels right it just feels right to have a long sweater tucked into jeans and it's so cute this is so soft this is another one i'm not wearing anything underneath it it's not irritating my sunburn it doesn't have the longest sleeves unfortunately look this is probably the shortest sleeves out of everything i tried on it's really cute how the oranges actually have like a texture to them and they are a different fabric to the rest of it they're really really soft they have a little bit of a not 3d kind of appearance but they do stick out further than the rest of the sweater so i like that added detail this is how long it is when it's not tucked in so it's a really good length and it's interesting i didn't notice this when it was hanging up but now that i'm wearing it i can see there's a really subtle stripe can you see that there's like a green stripe here and then a white stripe and a green but the green stripe is so soft it's such a pale green that it's it's just like barely there it's really cute this is so cozy i love it this one i would probably pay 45 or so for this because it feels so plush and comfortable so if you were interested in buying this one i think that you'd really like this one too so uh that's it that's everything i hope you guys like this video i actually really liked it i was surprised i'm still skeptical you know how at the start i told you that i wasn't allowed to have free choice over anything from the website so i do remain a little bit skeptical but based on the things that i've received i can recommend the things i've recommended they're really really good obviously there's a lot on the website and if i were you i would still maintain a healthy skepticism maybe watch some more cider halls and reviews look at what people are saying on twitter and instagram buy things that you know are going to be good i feel like my overall review of the brand is hit or miss the things that are a hit feels so good they feel great and i can recommend every one of those so thank you cider store for sponsoring this video i had a lot of fun and there's a bunch of stuff here that's going to be in my regular clothing rotation and overall i'm really happy so with that thank you guys so much for watching and i'll see you next time

Plumbing allows you to control the flow of water in a well-structured way.

But such an approach is of course very difficult to realize and requires a long-term, well-structured control program.

oh oh um i'm gonna treat for you you know hydrangeas are as magnificent as they are dramatic i know looks pretty grim huh one day without water and this happens shut up and stop complaining so when i get back from shopping with caitlin today these are going to go from looking like this to looking like this and if they don't i might just cry but i'm speaking it into existence oh look at your shoes oh my god no i didn't notice them so we've got a white princess poly skirt yeah what's your top uh i think it came from uh big w nice nice yeah bag japan japan this is kipling kipling we have a a big day and i'm running on like two hours of sleep i'm gonna rely on you to be your usual bubbly self to keep me awake oh cool i thought you're i can't make them either how many salvos parcels do you get a week uh currently none i'm waiting on a bunch of yours to go right oh well so i'm waiting on a bunch of things i got for you to arrive so i'm gonna leave this out here which is the uh here the holy month at the height i think i got four in one like one day at that moment i was like i bought too much you're gonna be shocked when you see how you want to see a magic trick wow where'd you get i don't know this is like a lucky dip any guesses caitlin uh thank you for supporting the fern tree gully salvos the bubble wrap so it must be fragile it's a vase it's huge why is it so big it's a vase this it's a single sd card oh it's my hair dryer oh oh my gosh you look like you're like cuddling an air fryer a pink air fryer yeah how do you okay or like some really complicated tupperware so this goes on your head while you're waiting for your hair to dry apparently it works it said on the website it's in full working order oh boy well i think i know what uh day seven of thriftmas is gonna be no day eight oh she's gone mad she doesn't remember the days oh my god it'll be on the internet when it's on the internet to try her hardest you put that on a table and then this goes into the car what do you put your how do you put your head in there well there's got to be a table behind maybe the other way around there's gonna be someone out there who used to work with these just yelling at us and then do we feel like the hallway isn't the best place to be trying this out i don't know what you're talking about this is a horror movie now this is evolving i really like the idea of i can dry my hair and play on my phone at the same time i have here on this rack an assortment of dark academia fashion that i got from yes style now i was very excited about this video concept based on the images on the yes style website but when the parcel arrived and i actually started filming the video because i was going to make the video i only wore dark academia clothing from yes style for a week i started filming that and i was a little bit just teeny teeny tiny little bit disappointed so much so that i decided not to post the video luckily yes style gave me these clothes for free but i was thinking yeah such a waste to have all of these and never show them on camera but i i just i didn't want to show sounds like it's just not good enough to talk about but today we have an excuse to talk about these clothes and turn a not so great situation into a learning experience and into a bit more of a positive one so i've got my friend caitlin here who i would say probably dresses the closest to dark academia i mean everyone in our friend is me i'm the excuse hello so uh the outfit that turned up in today i i didn't even ask you to dress like that no she recoiled she was very scared no i i wasn't scared i was like aghast i was like oh wow you look so nice so uh and you know you're like seven foot tall say it next time instead of you just like open the door and then you shut the door immediately you didn't say anything you just shut the door on me i looked behind me i was like is there someone following me in they have a knife like the thought process was i opened the door and i was like she looks so good i can't comprehend and i'm just like my brain was like not now i thought all we could do is have a look at these items from yes style i tried to put together three dark academia inspired outfits from yes style and the first one i figured you can't go wrong with like a cream or white turtleneck and a tan that's fine and a brown skirt like a pleated skirt i figured very that's very dark academia pleated skirt and then i got a tweed jacket which would go over the top and there's also a little bag but this little satchel bag as well to match the outfit sweet so that's the outfit number one outfit number two the idea was to have plaid pants and then have a nice sort of cardigan tucked into those plaid pants very apologies she's allergic to bad fashion and then have a brown belt and then i also had a trench coat you know to go over the top okay without that all right i want you to point go to the screen show them what that is that reminds me of like you know uh guy ritchie sherlock holmes background character i'm not mad about that but like if i if i could stand in the background and look a bit like specifically not a penny cumberbatch we're talking like uh robert danny jr he's still nice but it's specifically we're talking like turn of the industrial evolution smokehouse evening governor how you doing uh the final thing that i got i got a white button-up shirt which could then have a vest a tweed vest over the top of it and then matching pants and then the matching blazer so they were my three outfits that i put together so now that i've sort of explained myself oh and also you have riding boots the boots the boots which go with all three of these outfits i was thinking what we could do is head out to a thrift store last year when i did thrift to this my dark academia video was my most popular episode out of all the 25 episodes i posted people liked the dark academia one the most and they wanted me to do it again so i thought between the two of us if we challenge ourselves to say to people all right yes uh buying on a store like yes style or jumping online to a fast fashion website is easy yes sure you can just click on the link from a yes style haul and you can buy that thing but there's something very fun and very rewarding about finding bargain hunting and finding a clothing that is probably almost certainly going to be better as far as quality goes because when you go to the thrift stores and you find a $20 jacket so you said perhaps you know like this jacket might be 15 or 20 kind of thing yeah so if you take your $20 to a thrift store what is the tweed jacket going to be like that you buy from the thrift store well it's probably going to be made of cashmere from the 90s and it's probably really well made with solid buttons that aren't going to fall off as soon to be fair i do want to mention i don't think any of this is particularly poorly made a lot of yes style uh is very like undersold and it's very cheap but i don't think the people who are making it are underskilled yeah i think some whenever it's bad it's always because i think the material is bad it's because someone cheaped out what material to use yeah but i think everything here i think is fine i think it's good yes style you can make a whole outfit you can go and make a whole outfit while you're sitting there and it's great thrifting you could think of an outfit but you might not get all the pieces for like five months exactly and that that does suck but it's also part of the discovery process yeah and it's also part of not buying into current trends and buying things that you're going to be able to wear long term it's very easy see a trend like dark academia and buy the whole lot of it and want to wear those outfits but you bought it very quickly there was no real thought behind it you didn't have to look very hard to find those things so they don't really mean that much to you and once the trend is gone and you've moved on to cottagecore and your dark academia things don't matter anymore you may end up donating them but when you go to thrift stores and let's say you do spend a good couple of months curating and tailoring an outfit that's taking you a very long time to find but once you do find that you know that you're going to hang on to that you're not going to just have your outfit that took you five months to piece together wear it for three weeks and then think that you don't like it anymore and donate that you're going to be far more invested so protected on my clothes i really love a lot of my stuff yeah but like also trends are you're buying clothes for other people you're buying clothes to like take a picture and show yourself to other people whereas if you're thrift shopping yes you can do the same thing but it's a lot more effort you're not always guaranteed and more often than not if you're buying something from a thrift store you're buying it for yourself yeah i definitely agree so i reckon we jump in the car we head out to a thrift store i would like for us to challenge ourselves maybe we could visit two or three stores today i'd like for us to challenge ourselves and see if we can get as close to these items as we can in both our sizes and we don't have to buy every single thing but if we are just browsing through the racks and you can pick it up and say alex these pants you know in this thrift store these are these are like the pants that you had and we can look at the price of them we can duck into a change room try some things on if there's anything that we really love we can obviously get it and bring it back i'm smirking because i'm just imagining me coming back being like i didn't find anything in my size but i found heaps of other stuff don't look at this but i have all right let's head out bye oh shoes we're also going to try and find some shoes those are not leather they're pleather if i find shoes like that you don't i would i'm looking for shoes in my size like that every single day of my life at a thrift store like this is not a single or one-off challenge caitlin i want to i want to teach you something i'm going to teach you something really really important this is how i managed to find a mushroom lamp i said to myself as i was walking toward the thrift store i went mushroom are you trying to you trying to teach manifesting mushroom lab and i walked in and there was a pink vintage mushroom lamp so what are we going to say what are we going to chat no i believe not manifesting right the universe gives you what you need yeah and you need those boots i might need those boots one day i will get a pair of boots they're perfect for me it's taken me five years to not get them when i do find them they're

shop a size 37 what happened to all the people with size 37 feet the most average shoe size so therefore they're the ones who thrift away their shoes the most often oh we could get all of the game of thrones just give me an old hardcover book just one just one single really old hardcover book what assassin assassin's creed has a book yeah and it's not it's the same as the game they're changing

style if i could find something like this that was like vintage or made of steel don't mind that it would fit you oh the pockets are fake look at that it's so beautiful it's so cute good lord look at that rain and we have to walk to the car in that all right we're back it's almost half past six at night we didn't get what we wanted we failed so bad but that being said I wouldn't call it a fail as such it's a work in progress I did find a lot of dark academia things I found a lot of things that were the right print you're right like cuts I found a lot of skirts that were the right cut you found those tweed pants that would have been perfect if they were my size every store we went to I found tweed pants so as far as trying to find equal outfits to the yes style stuff not gonna happen but not in a day at least not in a day but what I was thinking next week if we take this week to go on on thrift stores online I think we will have a lot better luck finding those sorts of specific items you know like we should be able to find pleated skirt I only found like two pleated skirts I found a few like a line I saw one of the pleated skirts you were looking at it was it was like pink and short and it was like like a Bratz doll skirt yeah nothing like what I need yeah but I do know from looking at salvos online and lifeline online and places I've seen plenty of pleated skirts I think that we bench the yes style topic and the yes style dark academia until next week then we can spend the next couple of days shopping online and trying to find giving me homework dang dark academia clothing but as far as this video goes why don't we just show some of the things that we got yeah how many things did you get four as a coat it's amazing it is so heavy it's it's like if you pick two cats up that's how heavy it is it's like it's genuinely very very heavy like a vampire coat it's so red guys I look hot in this this is cool oh so cool my cushion anyone that tuned into thriftmas last year you would have understood it when I point at it I was like Caitlin do you see and she was like see what here's the one I got today three dollars from salvos this is the one that I got thriftmas last year now that one I got at the salvos in Durrell this one last year I think I got it from the Vinnies in Durrell so look for my little matching armchairs I now have matching cushions thrifted a year apart and then in Monday's video where I curled my hair using the hair colors from wish and then I went out for shopping I got this nice big pink velvet cushion you look so good dude it gives me a butt the shape that it gives my ass is still here it's really nicely tailored it's got these nice lines here it looks really nice what is this it was 15 bucks excellent oh so good I got this this is a vintage sweater it's really cute if anyone tuned into my I went to a pastel thrift store video that I did last year there's this pastel thrift store in Koenji in Tokyo and everything that they sold was like this and this is the first time in one of our local thrift stores that I found like a vintage isn't it lovely fully embroidered and this is one of my favorite color combinations where it's like a mint kind of color with pink and lilac it's so cute I got do you want to tell them the story for anyone that is not a subscriber of yours that doesn't know what we're all freaking out about I went for shopping I wore a banana dress it annoyingly fit really well except it was covered up we covered with bananas so I left there and then I released a video and I was like get the banana dress and look okay fine internet peer pressure me so I went back to get the banana dress it wasn't there when I was looking at it someone mentioned that in the store like oh it was there for months and then suddenly someone's got it and this is the first time we've been back in like six months has reappeared in this it was just in the store I'm like someone bought it took it away it was gone for six months and they brought it back and it has to be the same one it's the same one cuz like no one just has this hanging around right the same one now last year my whole cruxes for thriftmas were things that were iridescent but this year my whole cruxes have changed to blue porcelain in my video about my hair curlers I acquired my first whole crux which was the blue vase then from that same store we went back there today I acquired my second whole crux this beautiful blue vase with the pheasants on it this is $45 it matches the theme of a lot of the things that I have in this house so this will look really nice with some hydrangeas sticking out of it my third whole crux a little ginger jar I love these I really love taking the lid off them and sitting the lid off to one side you have flowers sticking out of the jar and then you've got a little lid sitting off to one side it's just a really nice way to decorate the place it's made in Japan I didn't even realize it was from Japan I didn't even look on the bottom of it I just you just saw it and picked it up one yes yes these are to sit on the back of my kitchen bar stools I've got four matching bar stools and there's four of these little wreath things now this you looked amazing in $25 the brand is Delinda Delinda blue label very nice Sydney by Ronan young it is sweet vintage piece of clothing in the most pristine condition I don't think it's ever been gorgeous I think someone's grandma had this sitting in their suitcase or something and then she passed away and then their family just donated it and I don't think that she ever wore it I reckon that's something like that because it's it's like it would have been brand-new out of the store but it's still has a belt I don't know if there's any fabric composition will you have a look and see if you can find a little tag on the inside this dress is from seed heritage and seed heritage is an Australian brand that's pricey and I've never bought anything from there before because it's the sort of store that you walk into and you're like wow that's pretty and you look at the tag you go yep you turn around and leave it's really nice stuff it's good quality but it's expensive and I've now acquired a couple of seed pieces in my thrifting journeys this reminds me of the black yes style dress that we all raved about you guys remember like the the one dress that fit everyone that looked so amazing on everyone this is a very similar dress to that but it's just a lot longer I don't wear that dress a lot because it's so short but this one comes all the way down past my knees and there's no tag so I know you don't want it it's a size 16 I bought it because we've got a few friends that are a size 16 and I'm gonna do this video where I've got all of this beautiful clothing it's like 14 16 18 I'm gonna get my friends to have a look at it and they can have whatever they want anything that they don't want if you guys want me to list it online I can sell it to you guys for what I bought it for that was $20 I believe $25 so I think $25 for something like that no it's really like I do think it's lovely it's just not my style and I wouldn't wear it then the last thing I got from that store was this incredible basket look how heavy this is this is a huge wicker basket it's $10 I'm actually going to use it to put my enormous fiddle leaf thing in thrift stores are excellent for acquiring baskets yeah apparently because I got two of them at the same source that match a basket I got last year in thriftmas this was from seed I got this because it's so delightful it's so well made this is a large why don't you pop it on oh okay yeah put it on see what it looks like I just like this bit here like you can see how the stitching is going in different directions it's well structured I definitely did well with the dark academia thing today as you can see I did very well that looks nice on you hello that looks really nice on you thank you everything looks nice on me do you like it all right I have I have a lot I have a lot of sweaters I have a it was more so I bought it because I was like this is amazing and I would be very happy to have this button also it fits you a lot better okay this is from the ASOS Hello Kitty collection do you guys remember years ago when I had my ASOS Hello Kitty haul when they launched this collection this shirt sold out very quickly I can't believe I found it come to you today the universe gives you what you need and I've I've never gotten rid of anything from the collection because I treasure all of it so much could not believe you so please when you found that do you look like you've been a crime I got this I didn't try this on and I like this one so I'm gonna go try this on now because there's a there's a possibility it might not fit me it might not look good it was $20 and it's from the brand forever new which is a very nice store in Australia not to be confused with forever 21 completely different store I got this for Michelle because Michelle is German and I think I think I'm not certain but I think this is some sort of German just wait until you find out it's Swiss Michelle looks really really nice wearing green and green and red she likes to wear so I thought I'll add this to my little pile of things that I've been buying for her okay fine do I have to get in this one okay it's blue it might be too small so you can see my wrists I know but it's too small look at these wrists exposed to the air all right well my last item is a little scarf big pretty scarf this was actually the now this is the most expensive thing I bought for this it was 12 bucks dollars this necklace that I got this is I just I'm really glad that I looked in the jewelry cabinet because this is so small and so dainty I absolutely would have missed it yeah which would have been a real shame because if you guys tune into Monday's video I went thrifting and I got a blue vintage suitcase I got blue earrings and I got a watch and now I've found a beautiful blue necklace look at this it's so fine I don't know if you'll even be able to see it anyone know what Wedgewood is it looks like a little Wedgewood head and it's very very heavy and on the back it's got copyright Sarah that says this is so nice I just I love how dainty it is this was um the top it's from Bordeaux right yeah it was five bucks it's funny because in yesterday's video I got a top from Bordeaux for like five or ten dollars or whatever it was and I was saying how Bordeaux is a beautiful brand but it's expensive brand new it's got a zipper down the side it's lined like dude it looks amazing just the last couple of things that I got Christmas decorations because the other day I got a gold Christmas tree and why you no focus on the Christmas tree it's just like Caitlyn looks beautiful my Christmas theme is gold blue and pink slash maybe not pink maybe just gold blue and white I know blasphemy Alex getting rid of the pink theme maybe I got some more gold baubles I like the packaging is that cold sandwich bags and they're quite nice they're really nice ones I reckon these were probably expensive when they were new they're glass baubles they're not plastic they're they're actual glass baubles Christmas cards because they've got gold on them and obviously that's the theme of my Christmas this year gold and then your Christmas because the one that Dan and I currently uses that big and it fits six dumplings yeah one pork bun so we set out for a dark academia hall and we came away with vases steamers blue dresses oh and I got my my second basket I got two of these which makes me very very happy because these look so nice styled around the house with blankets and stuff in them so that's the thrift haul for today so if you guys enjoyed this video please come back again tomorrow and the day after and the day after that but most importantly come back again next Tuesday for when Caitlin and I will reveal the dark academia clothing that we've thrifted and hopefully we're a lot more successful this time we will be we don't we will be look at the hang on have I showed you this wait I got that from the salvos online it's a Zara blazer got little like sleevies so the fact that I was able to thrift this which would fit so perfectly with the dark academia theme and I have a few other things that would fit the very nicely like brown color yep attention to detail oh mm-hmm so I think if we do some online through deep dark academia we can pick up this video concept again next week at least it's working like filter it by myself ring ring ring ring ring ring ding dong ding dong ding dong ding all right well with that thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you tomorrow Oh Caitlin it's fucking incredible it is no right to look as nice as it does right it just it looks like I mean like

So state the obvious, but state it in very accurate and well structured ways.

Her answers are longer and more detailed, but still relevant and well structured.

Her ideas are connected and well-structured. She gives an original response, talking about being a member, a team player on a debate team. Notice how well she answers that last question with a conditional. She says, if I had a chance to go back, I would do more activities outside of school together so that we could build stronger bonds with our teammates. It's this kind of precise, clear communication that's needed for that perfect band nine. For example, when she gives the answer, I'm working from home all the time. I haven't been to my office in the past six months even once. This is a very clear response. She gives a two-sided answer.
