Window shopping

Posted by Ursula on Monday, 25 August 2008

It had to happen – and it has – again.

I found my perfect outfit – A Jean Paul Gaultier stylishly kinky, yet elegant dress at a mere £1,050, complete with outrageous snakeskin knee high boots at £2,155. Throw in some lunch and a bottle of wine to recover from the expense and – three and a half thousand pounds later - the world is your visually appealing oyster.

I will run up that little number, on my own sewing machine, at a fraction of the cost (not counting my time, which I never do). Not sure about the boots since I have not dabbled in the intricacies of what a shoe maker does; and please don’t believe the Italians have it all: Go to Spain – to this day I mourn the most phantastic high heeled black patent leather peep toes, complete with yellow, red and blue inserts, I purchased there; ten years later they fell apart.
