New colours for TOS

I went shopping with my gurl and sista (whom we shall call Cristobal) on Saturday. We threw caution to the wind and went towards West Virginia for my virginal experience at the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets. Usually I hate shopping and especially hate outlet shopping (the places I have been never live up to the hype - who has ever heard of a non-outlet Dansk store anyhow) but the combination of a loverly day, mr. sassypants (Cristobal likes yellow pants with blue whales stitched in them - too daring par moi) the thrill of bargains and add'l savings coupons was too irresistible... I went crazy and we shopped for like 4 hours. I am hopeful that the poor redneck girl working the Yankee Candle Outlet has recovered from the half hour we spent sniffing stuff, giggling and scaring about the customers who had just come from the Bible Outlet store across the way (you think I am kidding...I'm not. There is a store and yes we scared those Bible beaters away - if they want candles they can go to they church!)

So in addition to scooping up cheap duds, I consulted the fashion advisor that I had in tow... I have been wanting to look different and wear more colourful things. My problem is that I didn't get that gay colour gene and have problems with matching (I can design you a faboo brochure or marketing piece, but ask me if a chartreuse shirt goes with navy pants and you've got problems...) hence I wear more blue than the US Navy. Taking his advice (with a little apprehension but I trust him) I purchased some daring new colours to show off my tannedness (ok we went tanning beforehand too - this Italian skin needs sun or my face breaks out!). You can see some examples below - however the socialist worker's cap was my idea and I love it. Fight the power baby. MoRina's funky influence has finally rubbed off...


Lime green is fun.

Chairman mao is pretty in pink.
Editing a concrete magazine is easier in orange.
