It was green and expensive. I still want one.

After that, I went to another cloth shop I always go. It is one of my favorite clothe shop. It has vintage clothe so I like so much, the clothe's style is from 1960 to 1970. It is a little retro and so good. And my friend works as a part time job. I talked with her and we laughed a lot. She loves fashion and always  told me to new clothes.

FInally, I went to clothe shop I worked as a part time job before. I could find so cute knit. I bought it. It is black with white and yellow flower. And the owner of the shop gave me candy and chocolate as Christmas present. I was so happy. It was printed Santa crows and snow man. It was so pretty. And I could find the cute cake shop next to the shop. I went there for the first time. I bought caramel pudding. I seldom buy pudding but it looks so good so I bought it.
