(Click the images to experience the symphony of colours and patterns here in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol this month.)
Interestingly, I don't see as much of this in summer when the town is mostly Spanish. (I just thought I'd mention that.)

Just what is it they're here for and, more importantly, where ought they go?
And, yes, I know this isn't actually an example of tapestry but I don't know any songs [that I like] about patchwork quilts.
Every time we see a wonderful combo of plaids and stripes, Mitchell, we think of you!! It must be a north American thing!! lol
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteThe fashionistas I've shared are mostly British. What ever happened to when they were fab?
Those 'fashions' would make a great patchwork quilt, but not much else! Well, good for a chuckle and smirk too.
ReplyDeleteBetween the fashion parade and the beautiful music, you've put a smile on my face. xx
Jacqueline:
DeleteThey would make a great quilt. Interesting that they don't all work as well for me as clothing. And again, if I've put a smile on your face, my work is done!
Guess you could have added Dolly Parton singing A Coat of Many Colors ;-) My favorite (not) is the middle bottom... those orange plaid pants and red striped shirt next to the unionjack handbag hurts my eyes!
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteI think I used Dolly sometime back for the same theme. And I agree about that middle bottom!
When 'colour co-coordination' becomes "Aw, to hell with it!"
ReplyDeleteRaybeard:
DeleteColour UN-coordination?
Sometimes I think people pack for vacation in the dark, it is simply the only explanation.
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteI'd like to believe that but I've seen them out shopping!
wow so it means foreigners are unigue creatures
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteWe have a cousin who, to be polite, calls it "special."
Judging by the hand and arm holding of the perpetrators of fashion crime I wonder if they just don't care how they look any more or if their partners are aiding and abetting? An amazing display, regardless. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI used to think it was the wives' faults. But I just don't know. I'm sure there are same-sex couples with the same fashion sense (non-sense?); and then whose responsible? Quite often, however, we see couples in coordinating outfits. Even worse, in my opinion. But who am I to judge?
Number one in red and green takes the prize with number four in his socks as runner up.
ReplyDeleteAndrew:
DeleteNumber One was definitely hard on my eyes, and yet so "spiffy." And I also thought Number Four really stepped (or down) his game with those socks.
Tapestry is one of my favorite memories of the 70's. I had a killer stereo.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteI had a crappy little cassette player, but also one of my favourite memories.
Tapestries always makes me think of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, one of my all time favourite movies.. :)
ReplyDeleteSnoskred:
DeleteStrangely, I can remember nothing about that movie!
... Funny you should mention this album . It was out favorite during that last summer at camp kiwi. Carol , you and I took turns in taking it home to listen to it until we forget it in the car for a whole day and it melted.
ReplyDeleteBabba!!!
Delete(Phone number???) I was having the same memory as I wrote this post. Thanks for confirming it. (Phone number???)
Lovely colour! Lovely brightness! So much better than drab earth-tones.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteSometimes the combinations are a bit too much for me to look at for more than a glance. But I really do now enjoy the colours and vibrance. I've even taken to wearing odd pairings around the house. Sadly (not really sadly) I don't have things like the above to combine, but I'm grateful they do.
Hey hey, man. :)
ReplyDeleteJust followed you on Google, going to visit your blog more often from now on. Keep up the great work!
