Exercise 12 (Review)
1. Load the word processing program (if not already loaded)
2. Type the following text:
The big fashion stories this season are soft floral prints, the sharp military look and eighties retro. There will be something for everyone in fashion this season, whatever your age and mood. But even though diversity still rules, there are definite trends coming through. In order to make sense of the array of clothes in the shops, they can be broken down into three main looks:
Florals.
Military.
Eighties.
The florals are forties and feminine in feel. This season’s floral prints are gentle, rosy dresses, skirts and little tops, but without the beads, trims and fringes which covered everything from cardigans to camisoles last season.
