Hello, everyone, and welcome back to English Cozy Chat,

a slow English podcast which helps you to learn English in a fun and natural way.

I'm Maria, and today we are going to have a fun chat about how I feel about clothes.

But first, as always, let's talk about my cozy drink of the moment,

and that is some mint tea.

I really wanted to drink a second cup of coffee this morning,

but I did not because every time I do that,

it makes it hard for me to sleep and it's never good.

I try this many times and I think, hey, maybe it won't affect my sleep today and it always does.

So today I thought, okay,

I'll just have a cup of tea instead and I'm drinking out of my coffee cup that I made or teacup today.

So cheers you guys.

Now for today's episode I really wanted to talk about clothes because there is something that I've been thinking about.

I want to start off with a story.

I went to the United States in May, and when I was there,

my mom had this jacket there that she had had for a long time,

which I bought 20 years ago

and she said do you want this jacket you told me to get rid of it a long time ago

but I didn't and here you go do you want it back

and it was a little bit cold

so I thought okay no I'll just wear it now and

that will be good and then I started wearing it and I was like wow this is so comfortable.

This jacket I bought 20 years ago

and I wore it almost every day of the winter for maybe eight years in a row.

I wore this jacket a lot and I think I wore it

so much that I got sick of it and I didn't want to wear it anymore.

And for that reason, I told my mom, just sell it, give it away, get rid of it because I didn't want it.

But now I'm like, oh, this is so cozy.

It is really warm.

And I like it because it's really soft on the inside and the outside.

So I can put it on in the morning right when I wake up.

And I can also leave my house in it and it's just a jacket.

It's not like a jacket or a coat

that I need to put on and take off every time I leave the house.

It's comfortable for me to wear both inside and outside.

And I'm not sure why,

you guys, but this is just making me really happy to have my old jacket back that I bought 20 years ago.

One, because I think it brings back old memories of when I used to wear this jacket a lot.

I wore this jacket so much in a fun time of my life,

and it just feels good to wear it again.

And another thing is it's very comfortable,

so soft and really warm keeps me warm without being too hot

and that's why I can wear it inside and outside

and I also feel good to be using something that at one point I said I wanted to get rid of.

So, this is why I've started to think a little bit more about clothes over the past days.

Because, for example, this is a nice jacket.

This is nice.

It's quality.

And that's why I can still wear this.

And I will probably be able to wear this many years to come

but now I feel like it's always so tempting to buy things

that I kind of like but there's certain things

that I don't like about it and maybe the quality is not very good but I end up buying things anyway.

Just because I feel like, hey, why not?

Like, it's not that expensive.

I can buy this and wear it sometimes.

But the truth is, in my case, and everyone's different.

If I don't love something when I buy it

and I don't think wow this feels great

and for me now what is most important is

that clothes are comfortable and that the fabric feels good on my skin

and that I can breathe well and that I put it on

and I feel good that's the most important thing

and maybe I have a dress or a shirt or something that looks really nice,

but it's not comfortable for whatever reason.

And I just will not wear it.

I know myself and I won't.

Even if I want to, I'm like, oh, I want to wear this pretty dress.

But then I'll try it on and say, oh, no, because it doesn't feel good.

And I feel like now with so many options of clothes and stores and brands and styles,

it can be very overwhelming.

At least me, I'm not a very fashionable person at all.

Like, I don't know anything about fashion, really.

I appreciate good fashion, and I appreciate it when people look nice.

And I also like to feel good in what I'm wearing and to look nice.

But it's actually, it's hard for me to know what is in style

or what is the kind of right thing to wear as far as styles go

so I just feel like there is a lot of options out there

and for me it can be very overwhelming and even the other day I had seen some things on a website.

I do online shopping mainly because I hate actually going shopping and I saw some clothes that I thought looked nice.

I thought hey that looks good and then I was at the store one day

and I saw those same pieces of clothing that I saw online

and I thought oh that doesn't look as nice as I thought

or I tried them on and I thought this just doesn't this doesn't look as nice

and quality as it did on my computer so that's also something

that I have to really be careful about the truth is I think

that we should normalize wearing less clothes wearing less not less clothes

but less variety I think

it is perfectly fine to wear the same thing two days in a row as long as you are clean

and you feel good and you're not dirty,

I think people feel like, you know, you need to always change.

Obviously, if your shirt is dirty or whatever, you should change it.

But still, like some people want lots of variety

and to not ever wear the same thing twice in a short amount of time.

But I really think it's completely okay and actually good

if we have less options and only wear the things that you like.

And more importantly, the things that you feel good in and that you feel confident in and that make you feel comfortable.

Now that being said, I have a closet full of clothes

and i bet i only wear 20 of the clothes

100

that are in my closet i have lots of clothes

101

that are just sitting there just in case like dresses shirts pants skirts stuff

102

that i think I'm gonna keep that because maybe one day I'm gonna wear

103

that and you know what happens I never wear it

104

but it's still in my closet

105

and for some reason it's hard for me to let go of those things why is it

106

so hard sometimes to let go of things that we are not using I don't know.

107

I do try twice a year to go through my closet.

108

It's when I change my closet from summer to winter and winter to summer.

109

I go through and I do try to get rid of clothes that I'm not wearing, so clean things out.

110

But still, I always keep things that I don't need and

111

that I know I probably won't wear and it's actually kind of funny

112

when I do clean my closet out

113

and I take some clothes out to give away

114

and I will put them in a bag I have to get rid of that bag immediately.

115

Because well, first off, let me go back.

116

When I do clean out my closet, I have to in that moment have a mindset.

117

I have to be thinking, okay, Maria, get rid of stuff.

118

You need to get rid of things, throw things out, give things away. Because

119

if I'm in a mindset that's like oh

120

I don't want to I'll say oh this shirt I'll keep this this I will keep this too

121

and of course then I get rid of like three things

122

and I should be getting rid of many more so I always have like a trash bag full of clothes.

123

And I always need to make sure to get rid of

124

that trash bag as soon as possible and bring it to a donation center as soon as possible.

125

Because if it sits in my house for too long, I will start to go through it and say,

126

oh, but that sweater I'll take that and oh there's these shorts

127

and it's just it's so annoying that I do that

128

but I do that almost every time so those are always things

129

that I need to make sure that I do

130

so I'm really excited about my comfortable jacket and I think I am in the mindset now to say okay

131

Maria just do it clean out the closet only keep things

132

that you really like that make you feel good

133

that you will wear

134

and I think maybe today would be a good day for me to clean out my closet let's see

135

and guys I also wanted to mention that in my membership you receive a study sheet with every episode.

136

There is the full transcript, a vocabulary list with example sentences,

137

vocabulary exercises, some grammar exercises that go along with

138

each episode and if you are in my membership you will get one of those with every episode

139

so I just wanted to mention that to you that are interested

140

so guys let me know do you have the same struggles as me do you buy clothes

141

that you don't need do you have a lot of clothes in your closet that you don't wear?

142

Are you fashionable?

143

Are you not fashionable like me?

144

Or is there a piece of clothes that you really just love to wear

145

and that makes you happy and that you feel like you could wear every day?

146

147

148

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
