Are these two suits your choices to wear tomorrow? K: Yeah, but I can't decide which one is better. Well, my new position is a district manager. L: So you need a highpowered image. K: Right. What do you think of this black Aline dress with the caramel zipfront jacket? L: They are nice, but a little too girlish. If you really want to wear the Aline dress, you had better have this black 3buttoned blazer over it. K: But, don't you feel it's too dull? Everything is black. L: You can add a bright colored scarf, so you won't look too deadly black. K: All right. How about the other pantsuits? L: Everything is nice except the lowcut top. You need to look more professional, not sexy.

H: Jane is the bride, Right? M: You mean you didn't know her name? H: Well, Jack's always been a little secretive about all his girlfriends. M: All? How many have there been?H: Enough when he announced his engagement, everyone said, “He's getting married? Woo — what a shock!”
M: Hm… Well, Jane's friends were surprised, too — she's really involved in her career. H: I guess everyone decides at some point it's time to settle down.
M: I just wish they didn't all decide at the same time. Too many of my friends are getting married lately. H: Same here! All these weddings are really costing me! M: And this time I had to go out and get a new dress. I can't wear the same thing every time I go to a wedding. H: Well, you made a wise purchase — you look great in that dress.
