My oh my I had a great day on Saturday.
Kym had been promising to take me secondhand (SH as she calls it) clothes shopping for ages, and we finally went on Saturday. SO MANY exciting acquisitions, including:
2 dresses - one a very cute red and white striped wraparound towelling number, suitable for Sunday afternoons, especially by a pool. The other a lovely cream cotton dress with crocheted yoke, sleeves and hem just made for my Zsa Zsa sunglasses.
2 skirts - on a delicious brown one that goes beautifully with the heeled boots (see below), one a SUPER AMAZING BEAUTIFUL white one with black silhouettes of little children playing around the bottom hem. The super amazing beautiful one is too small, but will fit if I take the extra-high waistband out. If it doesn't I'll pull out all of the pleats and make it wraparound. I don't care what happens and what I have to do and how much hand-sewing is required for me to be able to wear this super amazing beautiful skirt.
2 pairs of boots - to die for. Please ignore the uselessness of boots in a tropical country. One is the most amazingly spunktacular pair of heels, brown, calf height, delicious beautiful magnificence - 50 TOEA - that's 21 cents in Australia!!!!!. The other is a pair of cowboy boots - they're a little too big for me but socks will fix that and hey, I don't care, coz I'm a cowboy baby. yes, I have a shoe fetish.
8 tops - miscellaneous goodness. Pretty colours - blue, brown, pink, etc.
Miscellaneous - a lovely softest-of-soft brown leather slouch bag that really does talk to me, three gloriously coloured silk scarves, one with tassles. A cute little crocheted cardigan that I could have made but now I don't have to.
2 saris - One a lovely silk green and purple which might be turned into another delicious skirt if my fingers aren't too worn out, one a lovely yellow and pink. To hang over curtain rails when not being converted into clothing items.
WOW. I only spent about 75 kina, that's AUD$29.40. I do now have to purge some of my wardrobe and give stuff that I just haven't worn since I got here away to charity. Nothing cures a ranting rut better than retail therapy!

First of all, there is the Deliciousness. One can buy a watermelon, and even say "I carried a watermelon", any day of the week. And a delicious watermelon it will be, especially if one taps it before purchase to make... [Read More]
