Around the World: Shopping spread

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Lesson n° 1: don't go shopping when you lost 2 sizes and you know it... Everything started in an innocent way, I got delayed in Istanbul without luggage and I needed a change of shirt. My idea was to buy one of those cheap touristic shirt, but then I went in a bazar and I liked this one (please proceed with evidence n° 1)



the guy told me that for the price of one he would give me two, and so I bought also this one (please proceed with evidence n° 2)


see details of evidence n° 2:



I then was in Singapore, and went in Little India. There is a place here, a clothes market, everything from India. I didn't want to buy anything important, but I wanted something to reming me this travel and so I bought 2 shirts and 1 dress (please proceed with evidence n° 3, 4 and 5)






this goes with green matching pants, see details of evidence 5:



I told myself, this is enough... but then the day after I went to Arab Street, and there was this nice little shop... (proceed with evidence n° 6)


see details of evidence n° 6:



Now, again I told myself, this is really enough, you have a weight limit for the luggage, you were already above it... but then I went to Chinatown (please proceed with evidence n° 7, 8, 9 and 10)


silk, see details of evidence n° 7:


the guy told me that if I bought two of this type he would give me a good price:



and then I soo love the Chinese style...


see details of evidence n° 9:




see details of evidence n° 10:



Now, you are thinking, that is enough right? Little India, Arab Street, Chinatown, I made all the ethnic markets... but Little India is soo big, and today I didn't know what to do... (please proceed with evidence n° 11 and 12):


see details of evidence n° 11:




if you are wondering about the sleeves, you need to move them up to the hand and then you fix the cuff on the hand (so that only the fingers are out). This goes with matching black pants and see details of evidence n° 12:



Well the good news is that now I have really too much clothes... the bad news? I'm here for other 4 weeks!!!

You really got some very special pieces! Enjoy wearing them all and continuing to explore (maybe with a bit of restraint) for the next 4 weeks. :)

They are really beautiful and in the detailed pics one can see how well they're done and what an artisan's art was making them. The colors are gorgeous too.

Nice

But where would you where them except in Asian/Arabic counties? You certainly would stand out in other places. But they're beautiful, too.

That's a great way to celebrate losing two sizes.

I love 1, 6 and 10. The colour of 4 is gorgeous too.

Gorgeous fabrics.

I can help you with that. Bring no 7 with you to the UK in September and post it to me. *winks* Good luck with resisting more purchases.

They sure are beautiful! And congratulation on loosing two size. You've motivated me, I'll try my best to do the same.

They're all gorgeous - the beading is so detailed and I love the Chinese brocades.

[harbor4t.livejournal.com]

I love the chinese ones!!!

[aileenfan.livejournal.com]

3, 4, 8, 9, 10 are the best in my opinion:) I can steal them from you:) Now you need a few pieces of nice jewellery and the world is yours:)

You can't have too much clothes, it's simply impossible;P It's the same with shoes and bags;)

[cboy-junkie.livejournal.com]

Elisa,

Your post made me laugh out loud, not at you but with you as I am exactly the same. I say I'll buy only one thing and end up with an entirely new wardrobe! LOL

Congratulations on losing two dress sizes and what a wonderful way to treat yourself. They're all beautiful and the colours, beading and stitch work gorgeous.

As you've got another four weeks to go you'll need to get yourself some shoes to match with the new wardrobe. ;)

Wow, those are all so pretty! I think I like the details on the black and red and the last one best, but they all look so fun and bright. :)

[lee-rowan.livejournal.com]

Whoa, I want to go clothes shopping with you!

As to where to wear them? Anywhere you want to be your beautiful self! Your wardrobe is a Rainbow Award in textiles...

It's probably a good thing I don't travel much, or my wardrobe would explode... ;)
