Unit 713. I just bought trendy new sneakers.

A few days ago, I decided to follow the 'chunky sneaker' trend and I bought a pair for myself, even though I didn't really need one.

English On The Go

A few days ago, I went shopping for some summer clothes because I'm going on vacation next week. Yay!

I bought a few summer dresses, a new swimsuit, and my last destination was a shoe shop.

I've been wearing the exact same pair of sandals for quite some time now, and they definitely needed an upgrade.

---------------------

But in the shop, what caught my eye was not sandals.

It was actually a bright and shiny pair of sneakers.

And believe me when I tell you, they were not just any regular sneakers.

---------------------

They were the trendy ones that everybody seems to be wearing nowadays.

You know, with a raised heel and a chunky bottom. They are all a craze now.

---------------------

And even though I didn't like how they looked when I first saw them on someone,

I decided to try them on because they're trendy.

And needless to say, I understood why everybody seems to be so obsessed with them.

---------------------

They were so comfortable, and they kind of made my feet look cute.

So, I went ahead and bought them. Plus, it helped that they were on sale.

I have terrible taste when it comes to sneakers. I bought some today 'cause my sister said they're trendy.

   난 운동화에 관해서는 좋은걸(취향,안목) 잘 못고른다. 오늘 하나 샀는데 내 시스터가 요즘 유행한다고 해서 샀다.

 

Matt (남)

I'm too mature for trendy sneakers. However, I'm feeling a distinct urge to buy some of these name-brand shoes.

  유행하는 스니커즈를 사기에는 난 나이가 너무 많다. 그런데 유명브랜드 신발을 사려는 확실한 욕구가 느껴진다. 

  mature  는 old 의 의미
