Cruise Postcard #5



Hiya peeps, just a quick pop in with some more cruise dresses.


LBD



Plain black strappy dress, about 20 years old.


I'm finding this little spiderwebby poncho just perfect for combating the ship's aircon.  Such a useful buy (Nevis) and a useful pack.


The necklace is a jumble sale find from about 25 years ago.


Carmen Miranda





Yes, though I mostly shy away from prints, this knee jerk reaction of a print found me falling in love with this fruity gypsy style dress. (Next Summer sale).   Maybe it's the abundance of fruit that gets me feeling like Carmen Miranda in it, and as for prints, aye aye aye aye, I like this one very much!  
And so does TP, strangely.  It's one of those dresses that down on paper we shouldn't like, but IT we both do.


Toile De Jouy










You've seen this lovely Primark sundress many times here this summer.  And of course it was the first thing to leap into my suitcase!


Cocktails


Loving them.   I'm working my way through the menu (here, Cherry Blossom Garden).   
How am I going to wean myself off these back home?


A la perchoine,
Mary x.



Coming up - Gibraltar and the flying monkey!

    1. Great to hear from you, missfish. Yes, cruising seems an easy slip-in, though Jane needn't worry, you should hear me sing California Dreaming!!!

  4. Lovely dresses and you look fab in them. My favourite is the Carmen Miranda one from Next - you should have put your hair up and worn a headwrap - with fruit!
