Happy Friday!
Thanks so much everyone for your great comments yesterday about connecting and reconnecting with friends. I am always so impressed by your willingness to share your thoughts and experiences with everyone!
Today, thought I would start first by sharing my spring/summer outfit with the new Nougat London top, featherweight cashmere cardigan in nectar and my white jeans. It was much cooler today, so no sandals for me yet - instead, i wore little pink nike walking shoes. So comfy! But below, are my own tender tootsies!
You can see it has been a long day - my flowers are drooping...
I went to the mall this evening as I am ordering new glasses. Yup - the old doll needs them full-time now. Since I am so devilishly spunky, and as my daughter said so succinctly "you are between jobs"(!), I can get something a little bit more funky. So I have ordered a reddish pair (no, NOT like Sally Jesse Raphael) and a pair of Raybans for driving and outdoor work (told you Tabs!). I am at the delightful bifocal stage. Welcome 50s. I will save my varicose vein stories for another day!
While at the mall I noticed a LOT of tshirts and things with pictures of travel destinations. One in particular caught my eye as it is a destination soon to be seen by a friend of mine:
The Positano sleeveless chiffon blouse at RW&Co. You can take a closer look here. I am thinking of buying it just so I can wear it around the house and pretend I am there!
Of course when I got home I wanted to see more tshirts like this. Instead, I found an academic paper entitled "The role of tshirts in the creation of tourist destination images". You can read the entire paper here, which appeared in the 1998 Latin American Journal Estudios y perspectivas en Turismo. And then I read the article. And then I realized that my daughter was indeed right: I am between jobs. It can only be a matter of time before I become EXTREMELY eccentric, as opposed to just slightly eccentric.
The tshirt above is evocative of a beautiful sea and fine wines and glamour. It makes me want to go to there. I wonder if they sell tshirts as nice as this in Positano, or if you just find the equivalent of this:
cause I don't think an I
Positano would be quite as sexy...
What about you - got any good souvenir tshirts? The only one I have in my closet right now is my Coldplay tshirt from last summer's concert. Would love to hear about yours!
In honour of Positano, my friend, and well, Friday, let's mix an Amalfi Cocktail, shall we? I have never had one of these, but then I have never been to Italy, either...I really should be ready, in case George calls...
I had to look up what Orgeat Syrup is: Orgeat syrup is a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar and rose water or orange flower water.
So let's have it! Cheers Big Ears, Happy Friday and Stay Safe out there!
