Sunday Monday

After I came home from India 2 years ago, I was disappointed that I hadn't bought more clothes. Clothes here are inexpensive - some are also made of inexpensive materials and are put together badly, but others are of very good quality and many of the stores have tailors on hand to make any needed alterations or to quickly construct a completely new garment on request.

So, this time, I've been spending more time in the stores (more like roadside stalls than American stores), and have bought some dresses and shirts which will hopefully look as cute back home as they do here in the dusty mirrors which the store keeper holds up so I can see what the items look like on me.

A phrase that the sellers use is "Sunday Monday." It took me a while to figure this out, but it means that the item is reversible. You can show one side on Sunday and the other side on Monday. Today I bought a Sunday Monday purse.
