A badly dressed Italian? I can hardly believe it! OK, so I’m joking. Though I must admit that, until we had been here a little while, I did think that every Italian dressed well.

I’m afraid I just can’t do catalogue shopping. Sometimes I wish I could as it must be easier. I’m not even that good on e-bay!

Your wonderful description of the ‘disneyland’ shopping village was amazing. I could see and feel your experience.

Personally, I REALLY hate shopping. I am a ‘card-carrying’ catalog gal. Tried and true.
I have one question from across the pond. What is a “jumper” in your world. Here, it is a sleeveless one piece dress often decorated with appliques or ruffled shoulders and ‘cut’ with a high waist. Clearly, you can understand my wonder. :-)

Love,
Gail
peace…..

I have to try stuff on but not everything in the b%**&! shop!! As I say, I find that something that looks good on the hanger doesn’t always look so good when you wear it.

V used to buy shoes without trying them on and then the shoes would be too small. Now it’s changed but not before the damage had been done.

We have one reasonably close to use, except it’s a retail outlet village. All laid out just like a high street and town, and I agree about the discounted prices yet still outrageous prices.

Also, I shop in a similar way except I don’t try things on. If it doesn’t fit, I take it back, but more often than not it fits.
