I went out to buy some balcony geraniums this morning, but got distracted by a sale in a fashion store which I would not normally enter, staffed, as it is, by ultra-thin young lovelies who make me want to climb into the nearest binbag. However, today in I went and 86 euros bought me two pure linen dresses, one white and the other in the colour that I have come to call "Mediterranean turquoise" [the exact shade of the turquoise gemstone] plus a long, flouncy, white cotton skirt. Nature will have to wait! Now I'm thinking accessories, girls!

Good for you, Welsh...a far better pastime, I think! The dresses sound lovely...and they sound as if they'll be nice and cool throughout the summer. Even Winter would like them, I'm sure! ;)
Oh, I'd love to see what they wear in Sicily, you must give us a show of your new dress!! I just love your blogging site, you write so well.

Wow, what a bargain. I always think clothes are really expensive in Italy. Unless you buy the junk at the market stalls.
When are you going to get the new shoes? You bought the bag, which was lovely and will go with the dresses.
But you need, shoes. Go get'em.

But you already have the perfect white bag...
I love linen too, wcl. This summer I have bought 3 pairs of light linen trousers in black, sage green and brown. I seem to just wear them in rotation, (with t-shirts of course!) The brown ones look good with turquoise and orange.
Again, pictures!
Now it's time to buy shoes.... wish I could come with you. I think I could go shoe-shopping in Italy for days...
why don't we have photos? They sound lovely. But you must get the geraniums too.
Hi, Lee. Well, maybe I'll run into Winter when I'm wearing one! Pinkacorn, thank you. For you, Ruthie and Liz I'll put photos of the dresses on tomorrow - I did take them but thought they looked rather forlorn and shapeless just on the hangers so didn't post them. Jmb, clothes are not as expensive in Italy as they used to be, with the advent of a few chain stores. Yes, shoes now! WW, I do but I'm thinking chunky necklaces and earrings... Hi, Lizzie. There's nothing like linen in summer, even if it does crease all the time! I love brown with turquoise. Ruthie, one day you'll come over and we will shop! Hi, Liz - I think I might get the geraniums tomorrow.
