Talking Italian
I'm on Week 2 of my anti-trafficking class. Last week went well, an introduction, a glimpse at my new class mates. I was very prepared, you know, notepad, pencil case full of spare stationary and with my best meet and greet attitude. I met and really nice lady who unfortunately the only thing we had in common was that she married a guy from the same town as my husband - but they divorced. She seemed very alive and happy so we quickly moved on to talking about organising our paperwork.
Tonight I'm feeling very Italian; remembering I was the go to person on ''how YWAM should dress whilst in Sicily'', and that for some slightly creepy reason my parents gardener, always referred to me as, a little Sophia Loren. I'm wearing my cowl-neck black and white sweater from Rome...a really nice gift from my father (after my mother twisted his arm). Jade green droplet earrings with gold and pearl clasps.
It's raining so black leggings are my friend and leather boots... An umbrella and my (thank you God for helping me choose this) waterproof Cath Kidson blue with white polka-dot bag. My bag is stuffed...I wish I could take pictures of all the places/meeting I've been in this week, but I've not built my lack of general manners Smartphone obnoxiousness enough yet.
I should probably wear a raincoat, as it is raining horribly, but I think I'll have to wear my green winter woollen coat until I find something kagoolesque that doesn't look like I'm about to go on an expedition. That's a hint for you to send me some ideas!!!
Zara is one of my favourite stores after travelling to Italy, as it was the most easy access store there ( not high fashion for the Italians). It was fun walking around the air-conditioned store once in a while, when we got cabin fever and needed to escape to shore. I still own a pair of very comfortable jeans from there. It seems like a good store for women in their 30-40s, things are tailored, but not too slinky and tight.
Believe it or not I haven't bought an item of clothing in over 6 months. I'm not really feeling a need to, but I do like watching European fashion trends as they change with the seasons. I am definitely NOT in one of those cities that care about fashion, although I'm finding that there is a pocket of people around who like to dress up and are very creative in their wardrobe choices.
Here are a few things that have caught my eye and can all be found at www.zara.com:
