My Favourite Accessories

My Favourite Accessories

Hello! My name is Anna. I love accessories. I think they make any outfit special.

Let me show you what I have.

This is my handbag. It is big and beautiful. I carry it every day. Inside, I keep my wallet. It is small and old, but I like it.

On my wrist, I wear a watch. It is new — a gift from my mum. Next to it, I have a pretty bracelet. It was cheap, but I love it.

I have many earrings. Today I'm wearing my favourite pair of earrings. They are long and silver. My friend says they suit me.

When it's sunny, I always put on my sunglasses. They are dark and big. And when it's cold, I wear a scarf. I tie it around my neck. It's so soft!

For work, I take my backpack. It is light and comfortable.

At the weekend, I like to go shopping with my friend. We try on different things — necklaces, hair clips, hairbands. We look in the mirror and ask, "How much is it?" If it's cheap, we buy it. If it's too tight or too loose, we don't.

For a party, I wear my favourite necklace and a nice belt. I fasten the belt and look in the mirror. When I come home, I take off everything and relax.

I think accessories are a great way to change your look. What about you? Do you like accessories?
