It Must Be Summer...
As I have actually spent some money on clothes.
I haven't spent much but I'm happy. I now have some shorts to wear around the house. At present I need room to manage my increase in size and to put things right at short notice so the shorts will allow for this and look a bit more fashionable. And the short sleeved shirts whilst colourful will be a little more roomy than a T-shirt. Also, I can avoid having to pull a T-shirt over a large head.
How much did all this cost? Well, if they only last a short while I'll have got my money's worth out of them. Buying two shirts meant a reduction in price, so everything came in at £16($23:80 US)
And I may part with more cash before I am finished. I may go for some T-Shirts next time but that have the open neck(or have the three buttons)so the opening is larger, something in the style of a Rugby top(but with more colour and design printed up on them)
The image above has suddenly brought home that over the years I have worn most colours but I have rarely had anything in green or a checked design. Usually, it's been plain or stripes. I cannot think of a reason why that is so.
It's not designer gear but it's good enough for me.
Update:I have finished my little shopping spree...and now have another five(yes, five short sleeve shirts)some I found at the local supermarket and they had reduced some items from £15 to £5 and you could feel the quality. I found something a bit like a kaftan(but I'm not turning into a hippy just yet)and I found two T-shirts with a wide opening at the top. So they'll last me for quite sometime. I'm enjoying the extra room and being of cotton type fabric, I feel much cooler.
So that's ten items in total coming in at around £67. By today's standards that's pretty good value.

I suggest a faded pale yellow/orange or red T shirt/vest to go with those shorts set off with a pair of worn deck shoes/espadrilles.
That sounds a good choice Span...I should invest in some new casual shoes.
There were some T-Shirts/Vests with such colours...I'll see what I can find.
Sometimes some of us need help...
I have explained on our forum I have purchased some shoes for Mum from a place on the net and they were so well priced and comfortable(Italian made)we're ordering another pair and the same place has lots of shoes for men too so I may have a looka round there and see what I can find.
Very stylish Gildy !
Thank you Curmy :-)
I'm tempted to put an image up of the remainder just to complete this entry.
The truth is, my wardrobe choice has reduced greatly over the months and I have been rotating the same few garments.
I said to Mum when she said had I purchase a few too many, How can I be robbed at such low prices?
Also, having a few to choose from means I can avoid having to do more washing than necessary and I can work my way through a few more items rather than sticking to the same two or three items.
We still handwash here, we still do not use a washing machine. I'm sure that will surprise a few people but we just put a few items through when required.
I'm sure if we were a family a washing machine is a must.
Well Gildy I think we should have a few fashion shots of you wearing them !
