The parish op-shop never fails to deliver. My delight last week, on stumbling upon a jungle-themed outfit for spare change.

"How much for the skirt?" I ask the gentleman volunteer
"It's a dress, $4" he replies
"A dress?, but it looks like a skirt?" says I
"No, there is a top to match, here"

Get out of town! Worn together? No. But separately? Oh yes... One could be mistaken for the theme of Africa, but wait, there are no tigers in Africa! Giraffe and tiger, two species, different continent....fabric design fail? Maybe so, but that won't stop me wearing it.

what a fun outfit! And what a bargain for two pieces! I like the print, it's really cute.
