The Daily Fashion Bulletin
A constant about visiting Italy is that one feels one missed the memo - today, for instance, there is an explosion of seersucker jackets in the streets. And the women? I swear they are ALL wearing light cotton dresses, a kicky jacket or cotton sweater, and heavy boots. All of them. None of them were wearing this last week that I noticed. Today?
Maybe the Fashion Bulletin runs on RAI 2 - I usually watch channel 1 in the mornings? Maybe it's an email listserve? I dunno - I don't get the memos.
Now I was wearing traditional ethnic dress today - blue oxford shirt, khakis, and penny loafers with no socks. The last, though, is because all my clothing other than what I had on was at the laundry. Now I have clean socks galore! Sadly, I didn't bring a seersucker jacket - so I'm still in tweed.
