A natural way to answer

Yes, when I was younger I went through a phase of wearing very bright, mismatched clothes. At the time I thought it looked great, but now, looking at old photos, I find it quite embarrassing.

Key phrases to use

  • looking back — thinking now about something that happened in the past“Looking back, I was way too shy.”
  • sweep under the rug — to hide or ignore something embarrassing so no one notices it“He tried to sweep his mistake under the rug.”
