· People daily experiment with their clothing but there are certain special events like birthdays, anniversaries, farewell or retirement parties on which people wear something special or their favourite.
· Here, I would like to mention a time when I wore my favourite dress.
· It was my 25th birthday so I had to wear my favourite clothes.
· Actually, my birthday always falls (comes) in winters and it is really hard to decide what to wear.
· But this was the only birthday when I was already sure about my clothes.
· Instead I should say, I was waiting to wear these clothes since long.
· The attire was nothing special but a simple white jacket for winters and a pair of denims but it was really close to my heart because it was gifted to me by my brother, who migrated to the United Kingdom three years ago.
· When he started earning, he got this for me out of his first salary. So, it had a sentimental value attached to it and I was dying to wear it on some special day.
· What could be more special than my birthday? So, I wore this lovely jacket and comfortable jeans.
· As I already mentioned that I was deeply excited to wear it. I felt immense happiness after wearing it and felt like I am truly blessed and loved by my family. The happiness is never of the materialistic things but about the gesture of care and concern the other person has for you.
· So, this was a special occasion when I wore my favourite clothes.

Do old people change their style of dressing?
I am sure some old people do, but in my family, the older generation have not changed their style of dressing. My grandfather dresses up in white Kurta Pyjama and he has been wearing it since his retirement. Same is the case with paternal grandfather, he always wears a shirt and trousers. I think its because they don’t like change.
