I have been thinking of you! It's SUCH rotten luck that you fell in the middle of your holiday. (((Extra HUGS))). I really hope you were able to enjoy part of your trip with your dashing boys. </p> <p>You are Queen Seamstress!! You make beautfully feminine and pretty tops and always look poised and elegant. I'm especially loving your unique beach cover-up. xox </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-and-other-pics-etc-from-my-greek-hol-long#post-954056 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:55:55 +0000 Vix 954056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you poor thing -- not quite what one saves for and dreams of! </p> <p>Glad you at least got some sun and made the most of it despite the pain. Hope the recovery speeds up now that you're at home.</p> <p>I would never have guessed that you were "making do" and having to accommodate for swelling etc from the photos. You look very chic and lovely, and your sewing skills + talent for picking flattering colors and prints are evident. The pants are especially great on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-and-other-pics-etc-from-my-greek-hol-long#post-953988 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:01:45 +0000 Anonymous 953988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely vacation spot! I'm sorry that you spent so much of it recovering from your accident. You look beautiful. I especially like the coral sweater and the dotted top. That square neckline is a great detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-and-other-pics-etc-from-my-greek-hol-long#post-953917 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:56:18 +0000 Anonymous 953917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy! I wish I could find another similar sarong to make another like #3<br />Thanks Trisha, ABC and Ginkgo. The dotty top had a different neckline before, which I grew to quickly dislike; Now I have a square neckline I love wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-and-other-pics-etc-from-my-greek-hol-long#post-953572 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:24:13 +0000 Ginkgo 953572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your choice of colors, and my favorite is the dotty top (although it's difficult to choose).

I finished my Greek holiday on Sunday and those of you who read this thread :<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-greece-not-such-a-happy-couple-of-days" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....le-of-days</a>&nbsp;will know about my accident in the middle of it all. I'm still in some pain and swollen across my lower back and my bruises are all colours of the rainbow but I'm slowly on the mend. Thanks for all the good wishes. <br />I took a few photos before my fall and in the last 3 days of my holiday and I thought I'd share them with you. I took a nice little capsule of clothes as mentioned here : <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greece-travel-capsule" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....el-capsule</a><br />but because I was (and still am)&nbsp;swollen, and also bloated from sitting so much, I could only wear one dress and one skirt once each, the rest of the time I wore my wide legged linen trousers with the zip only half way up and a loose top or two.<br />The weather we had was a little mixed and cooler at night than previous years, but still tons better that we get in the UK. We went to the beach quite a bit and one evening at the end of our break we went the main town of Zakynthos for a look around, a shop and a meal. I only bought a couple of scarves which will no doubt end up in some new WIW's soon.</p> <p>On to the photos&nbsp;(please excuse the lack of PPL on my trousers BTW I think being linen they have shrunk a little and I will lengthen them soon)</p> <p>1: I tucked my spot top up a little as I thought it looked better with the <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; trousers. I made both.<br />2: The spot top again worn with the ponte trousers I travelled in as I needed<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to wear my flat mint cons for easy walking<br />3: my beach cover-up that I made from a large sarong.<br />4: Open work coral sweater and neutral trousers&nbsp;(also made by me)<br />5: Loose Tee from New Look and wrap skirt made by me worn to the beach&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;over my bikini.<br />6: Floral racer back cotton top from Next and neutral trousers.<br />7: Embroidered chambay dress made by me worn with all white accessories.<br />8: A lovely little Greek orthodox church<br />9:&nbsp; A Bougainvillea lined walkway.<br />10: Zakynthos harbour<br />11: A street scene in the town<br />12 and 13: clothes in a boutique<br />14: Me and DS in a cocktail bar complete with sparkly drink decorations behind my ears! </p>
