Fashion is a big factor in expressing ourselves. It is a popular trend, especially in styles of clothing and ornaments or manners of behavior. We all have our own style in fashion. Renzo Cua (2019)
states that fashion doesn’t really require you to spend a lot of cash just to convince others to like you because there are lots of ways to achieve our desired fashion, and one of them is by
purchasing alternative cheaper version of the outfit. The author also stated that he admires people who manages to carry out cheap fashion and still look good; He labeled them practically
modish. (Source: https://helloworld950448554.wordpress.com/2019/10/20/being-fashionable-is-not-expensive/)

Upon reading the article, I can say that it was a good read. I like how the author maintained the consistency of the text while discussing the topic and connecting with the readers. As a student,
I am also a fond of cheap and practical way of looking good and presentable because it has lots of benefits, and one of them is to save money for more important things. I found it very relatable
and motivational at the same time. The author didn’t use unfamiliar words and the paragraphs were well constructed which helped ease up my understanding of the main focus of the thesis.
