During the weekend we did a bit of 'spring cleaning' in preparation for our annual yard sale in one of the parks here. It was quite amusing watching the boys going through their closets, books, shoes and video games deciding what to go and what stays. I saw some pairs of old jeans that do not fit anymore, couple pairs of outgrown Converse and toys they don't play anymore going into the pile..
For us adults yard sale in the park is an excuse to bring some good food and hang out with friends while doing a bit of people watching. We have been doing this every year. The not so good part is that we'd go with our junks and come back with other people's junks! So much of spring cleaning..
On another note, this sweater caught my eyes for obvious reason, the color which I think did my skin tone quite well. This cashmere scarf by DVF (God, I love it!) is another good investment in my closet. I have it in my handbag all the time, perfect for shielding from the super strong air-condition that is quiet the norm here in Dubai. Plus it looks good too, isn't it?

Hi, Ani! Thanks for your sweet comment. The bag I bought it at a small consignment/vintage shop here. It is from 1994 but was well kept by the previous owner :)
DeleteYou look great in orange! I love the heels with the look too! I wish I had a reason to clean closets every year!
ReplyDeleteThe boys are growing up so fast, they change clothes at least twice a year and most of the clothes would still be good, a pity to just throw

That Chanel. Oh my gawl, I wish I could tote it around, it's freaking adorable! I love the color of the sweater and the scarf is perfect, especially against the vibrant hue of tangerine. How is the weather right now in Dubai? It's really cool that you and your friends have an annual garage sale, although I have to agree with you, I'd probably come back with everybody's stuff too! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I hope you have a wonderful day!
