Woman: It doesn’t suit me.
Man: Suit in this meaning, is a verb used for clothing, colours etc. To say something doesn’t suit you, means it doesn’t make you look attractive. The opposite is “it suits you,” which means it makes you look attractive.
Now listen to an example of this phrase:
Woman: No, dear, not the black shirt, it doesn’t suit you, it drains all the colour out of your face. Try the green one again.
Man: But, I don’t like green.
Woman: Well try the pale blue one on then, that colour always looks good on you.

Woman: It’s a bargain.
Man: A bargain is a noun, and it means that something is cheaper or at a lower price than usual.
Now listen to an example of this phrase:
Man: Oh no, you’ve been shopping again, how much did you spend this time?
Woman: Oh shut up, the sales are on! I’ve got some real bargains.
Man: Max Mara, Versace, Armani.....how many bags have you got?
Woman: Trust me, they’re worth every penny, I feel like a princess, look at this lovely dress, it was a real bargain.
Man: You had better try it on, there doesn’t seem to be much material to it, and what are all those stringy bits for …?

Woman: It fits me.
Man: Fit in this meaning is a verb used for clothing, “it fits me,” means something is the right size or shape for somebody. The opposite is “it doesn’t fit me,” which means something is too small or big for you.
For example:
Woman: These jeans don’t fit me at all.
Man: Well, I think they look pretty good on you.
Woman: Mmm, does my bum look big in them?
Man: Of course not dear.

Woman: It’s funky!
Man: Funky is a modern word. “It’s funky!” means “It’s cool!” or “It’s trendy,” basically all these phrases mean you look good!
Now listen to this:
Woman: Hi, how are you?
Man: I’m fantastic, what about you? You look really funky in those leather trousers.
Woman: Thanks, I got them in New York. Do you want a drink? It’s my round.

Woman: Everywhere in the world, when people are feeling down, and need a little cheering up, there is one kind of therapy that always lifts the spirits – especially for women. It’s called shopping therapy! Now you will listen to a couple of friends having some fun shopping in the London sales.

Woman: I can’t believe how busy it is, there must be thousands of people here.
Man: Well the January sales are always a big thing in London, and with flights being so cheap on the internet, people fly in from all over Europe to shop.
Woman: Well I need some new funky suits for work, so shall we start with Oxford Street?
Man: Great idea, as if I get bored with you trying on clothes, I can browse around Virgin & HMV and get some new CDs while we’re here. Then when you’re ready, you can give me a ring.
Woman: You’re joking, I haven’t brought you shopping just to dump me. I need your opinion on what suits me.
Man: OK, but, don’t ask me if your bum looks big, as I know men have to be politically correct and say “No dear, don’t be silly” to that question.
Woman: Don’t be so cheeky! Heh, look at this shop everything is under £50, let’s go in, I bet I can get some real bargains in here.
Woman: OK, what about this suit, do you think it suits me?
Man: Well, it’s a lovely colour, but don’t you think the skirt’s a little short for work.
Woman: I guess so, let me try the yellow one on again, it’s very funky, and the skirt’s longer and it doesn’t make my bum look big.
Man : I’m saying nothing, only that we’ve been in here for over an hour now, so I think we’ll go for some liquid refreshments next.
