The next decade....what's in store?

New Nayger (Naiga?)

I probably haven't spelt that second word in the title correctly, but what I mean is....you know when you buy something and you wear it right away?

Well these shoes got the treatment

Reached home on Saturday night, and Sunday I was in them with mah lime green (washed out) T-shirt (which I have since banned from coming on the street with me!).

Now I tell you something about these shoes (apart from the fact that they were cheap). This is a colour I would NEVER before have bought. Not cause I didn't see it before, but because I always stuck to the neutral colours....Black, Brown, Navy Blue.

But while in Trinidad, I went into Payless and saw some lovely burnt orange red slippers and had to have them. So I did. That was the first step in going outside of my comfort zone. Since I bought them, you'd be surprised at how many things I found in my cupboard that match them. I also shied away from colours other than neutral one, because the foot is a size plenty and so colours would magnify it. White is definitely out!

When I saw these lime green ones therefore, I had to have them....then realized that the only thing I had to match was this washed out T-shirt. Oh, on Sunday, I also wore a newly acquired pair of boot leg cut jeans...another first, for I never thought I would wear one of them there ones. But it didn't look bad, although Patch said "they're tight!". Ignore him. They're not.

Today again was a New Nayger day. A black tank of sorts. I got called a princess by a guy near Hot Pot.

So the morale of the story is that you will be considered royalty if you wear what you buy right away.
