Thursday, January 31, 2008ME, MYSELF, I & THE BIRD WITH SPIKY RED HAIRI like having fun with clothing. I don't get dolled up very often, but when I do, I'll no doubt spend a heap on an outfit & only wear it on extremely limited occasions. I'm well happy nowadays, wearing jeans & a t-shirt. If I go out with Hubs on the bike, I'll stick my leather waistcoat on & feel like a 16yr old again. So, normal gear for me is something like this: On the other hand, I love wearing a kaftan. This one is about 8yrs old now & is like me, looking tired(!) but it's still a favourite. Sadly, my other kaftans from Ghana & Kenya are literally wearing out, so I treated myself whilst at home last year & had this one made. Kaftans cover all lumps & bumps & spare tyres fade into natural folds in the material - what a pleasure! Finally, one of my all time favourite items of clothing is my abaya! The Ultimate in LBD's (Little Black Dresses) - it covers everything & black is such an easy colour to accessorise *chuckle*. I can put it on over a pair of shorts/tatty kaftan/pyjamas etc & no one will know. What a pleasure. I wear the niqab on a bad hair day or if I want to go somewhere & not be recognised, which is great................................until I start talking - ooops!
