Yesterday was the first day in quite a while that was just offering "nice" summer weather (neither too hot, nor threatening with rain and thunder). So I seized the opportunity for a walk into the city centre just to have a leisurely look around some clothes shops - without any other more urgent errands to tick off my list. (I think that's the first time in nine months - because of the limitations that followed my fall and knee injury last autumn.)
The photos above show the outdoor terrace of one of the popular restaurants/cafés along the river - currently decorated with white balloons. (I'm not sure if for some special reason - or just "summer".)
Before I went back home, I did sit down for short break myself - but at the ice cream café in the park on the opposite side of the river:
Before that, I had visited three or four clothes shops. What I was looking for was a pair of wide summer trousers, in a different colour than blue or black (which I already have). In my opinion this is an excellent garment for hot summer days - and not least when one also needs to wear a knee sleeve or two underneath... So I wanted to get another pair before they perhaps go out of fashion again (one never knows!). And in the last shop I visited, I did find a pair of mauve ones that I knew could be matched with a few tops I already had. So after trying those on in the shop, I bought them. Mission accomplished!
I love the color of your pants. Gorgeous photos of the City Centre, with the reflections and pretty roof.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny. It fits in with some other items in my personal "wardrobe colour scheme"...
DeleteWhat Ginny already said...plus I think the ice cream looked delicious...and you were patient enough to take a photo before eating it all up!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, well, it wouldn't have been much to take a photo of if I had eaten it first! ;)
DeleteI am glad you were able to buy a mauve pair of pants. Too often clothes rack everywhere feature only one or two available colours, one of which is usually black and the other usually beige. How very boring.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the buildings and water.
Thanks River. I agree, all too often (at least in some fashion shops) only one or two colours seem to reign at the same time!
DeleteThe pants look a good find! Very sensible to go and get another pair while they are available.
ReplyDeleteThe city looks like a place I'd want to spend a holiday at, with the river, the flowers and the beautiful buildings - and last but not least the ice cream (mango?) :-)
Thanks Meike. I was particularly happy to find a pair in this colour that fit me, as various shades of mauve/purple/violet etc are part of my wardrobe since before.
DeleteOur city does look its best on a day like this; and yes, the ice cream was vegan mango. :)
