Dianne the frozen blue thingies made into a dress sounds very interesting. Could start a whole new fashion trend. I guess cotton is the good old stand by.
Originally posted by MaineGirl How about checking out haute couture from these designers:
Narciso Rodriguez hails from Cuba, Carolina Herrera is Venezuelan
Oscar De La Renta is from the DR. always loved reading the resort fashion spreads in Vogue, a few more months and that time will be here again.
Alba found a few things by Oscar in some shops in Santiago, but the prices for simple linen shirts and slacks were really outrageous.

Anything at all with a big time designer's name tag attached is always going to be wildly expensive. However, the quality of any such garment/accessory will be fabulous. Sadly, I can only afford the "look-a-likes"
Maybe we should come up with a uniform...Yea, that's the ticket.
Let's see, really loud floral shirts with fuchsia or puce shorts and matching tennis shoes. Black or Navy calf high socks would be optional.
Gee, my "Caribbean fashions" were usually platform shoes, spandex halter tops, gold lamé etc.... (The shops near me seemed to cater only to the local working girls, cough*putas*cough.)
That's funny Jane.
As I was reading this thought went through my head, " what the hell" can't imagine jane dressing like that. Big smile when I got to the punch line.
It would only be funny, Anna, if it weren't also true!
The flea markets, with all those JC Penny cast-offs from generous Americans who thought they were donating clothes to actual poor people, saved my wardrobe and my "luki".
