Victorias Secret Monokini

My favorite bathing suit is a black monokini I bought online form Victoria’s Secrets. I don’t see them around that often, so I can stand out, like I like doing. It’s simple, black, and has a gold chain around the lower hips. A monokini is a bathing suit that is neither a bikini, or a one piece. It technically is both. The Bathing suit looks, pretty much, like a little black bikini attached by a 3 inch strip over my abdomen. There is practically no back to it, and the top goes around my neck. The bottom is a normal bikini type bottom. I love this bathing suit. When I go to the beach, I get a lot of attention, especially from the males. A girl likes to look good. For people who aren’t too shy, or look good in a bikini, I would recommend trying this unusual style out.

One Shoulder Tops for Summer

Now that summer is knocking at the door, its time to get out of all the layers. No more bundling up and not showing any skin. The warmer tempatures seem to make us want to show some skin, tastefully of course. My favorite way to do that is in one of the many “one shoulder tops” that are out there. They show off some skin while keeping you covered and somewhat modest. They are flattering showing off your collar bone and shoulder, and they are comfortable to wear. I think its a great alternative to the classic tank top. It just has a little something extra to it. They go from day to night without problems and you can get them in any color you can imagine. Paired with capris or skinny jeans for day time wear and maybe or skinny jeans for a night out on the town. Go ahead and show some skin, its finally the season for it!

Retro Seventies Gold Sunglasses

I wore the same glasses for years and they were starting to fall apart. My cousin who is an optician noticed my situation and quietly presented me with retro frames from the early seventies, gold colored, square shaped wire rims. Eventually I got new glasses and I had him make the frames he had given me into sunglasses, which I wear all the time. The reason I like them is because receivng them was such a nice, unexpected gesture. Also, they are so far out of style that they are now unique, and I love hearing, “Cool sunglasses!” when I am out and about.

Old-Fashioned Cut Off Shorts

I could stand to lose a few pounds so shorts are not my favorite garment. I do however, have two favorite pairs, and they are exactly alike. They are old-fashioned, home made cut offs, made from recycled relaxed fit Route 66 jeans purchased at KMart. They are not Daisy Dukes. I wear them anywhere I would put on a pair of jeans, which for me is just about anywhere. I dress them up by pairing them with a shirt that has a metallic gold thread running through the fabric. These shorts are extremely comfortable. The worn jeans I couldn’t stand to throw away have gotten a new life.

Shopping for Summer at Loose Lucy’s

My favorite place to shop for clothing in the summer is Loose Lucy’s. This store is targeted to the “hippie” crowd mainly, but other people enjoy shopping there as well. I like to buy the dresses that they have. They are comfortable and really unique. I donít see many other people wearing the same outfit as me. Most of the brands that are offered are not popular or well-known brands. They also sell footwear, which is very comfortable. The prices are great, usually ranging anywhere from $10-$45 a dress. There are often specials in the store which allows me to buy two items for the price of one. I am excited to purchase more clothes there as it gets closer to the summer months.

Airwalk Shoes from Payless

My favorite summer shoes were purchased at a very reasonable price at Payless Shoes, and bought on an impulse. The brand name is Airwalk. They are canvas slip-ons with white vinyl soles. The fabric is black with white stars. Although they are starting to fray, I am still getting compliments on them. I’m a casual dresser who wears them to church, to town, and any occasion where smart casual dress is appropriate. Although I consider them summer shoes, they were purchased in the fall. I had in mind to wear them to a New Year’s Eve party with fireworks, but I got sick and stayed home that evening.

Varanasi Saris

Sari is a favorite piece of clothing in India and is one of the most elegant of dresses. It is available in various textures. It is basically a 5.5 to 6 meter long piece of cloth some 4 feet wide. It could be made of chiffon, silk, cotton or polyester. It is draped around the waist on top of a petticoat with a lot of plaits in front and one end is taken over the shoulder and sometimes used to cover the head. There are various ways to wear a sari depending on the style you prefer. It is worn with a matching blouse. These days hand embroidered saris are very much in vogue and are a craze amongst the ladies in India. It is available all over India but silk saris from Varanasi are famous. In Bareilly is famous for zari-zardosi work and a lot of designers get it made from here. A lot of people wear printed saris too.

Propet Marina Walker Sandals

My absolute favorite summer footwear is my Propet Marina Walker sandals. In truth I wear them all year long, unless there is snow on the ground! They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, and I feel they are versatile enough to wear anywhere, for almost any occasion. I wear them with shorts, pants, dresses and skirts. They are white leather, with two adjustable looping straps across the top of the foot, very feminine in appearance but extremely rugged and durable as they are made for walking. I have walked miles and miles in these sandals and have never had any issues with blisters or sore feet. They offer excellent arch support.

I love my sandals!

Target is My One-Stop-Shop for Summer

My favorite place to shop for summer clothes is Target. I love Target because their clothes are always reasonably priced and so cute. Target really has an innovative line of designers, and I can always find something cute for $15 or $20.

I’ve been buying things from this store for a long time, and I’ve gotten really cute dresses, pants, tops, and shoes there. In fact, my favorite pair of flip flops that has been with me for a long time came from Target. And they were on sale for $2!

They also have a decent return policy and I’ve never had a problem returning anything there when I had second thoughts about it.

Thong Sandals are My Favorite Summer Shoe

My favourite summer shoes.. would be ‘thongs’ – they have many names : ‘thongs’ in Australian (which sometimes raises eyebrows if you’re speaking to people from overseas), ‘flip flops’ in the UK, and ‘jandals’ if you are from New Zealand . My thongs are very comfortable and are now molded to the shape of my foot. They allow my feet to breathe and make a nice click, click sound when I walk. I prefer black thongs as they match all of my clothes, but some people like to wear brightly coloured ones. When I put on my thongs, I remember my childhood – playing in the streets with the neighbourhood kids and riding our bikes around town. Also, of daytrips and holidays to the beach. You need a pair of thongs to go to the Australian beaches, because the sand is very hot, and the thongs stop you from burning your feet! I wear my thongs with jeans, long pants, shorts, skirts and dresses – anything and everything really!
