Say hi to Africa for Greg and I. We were last there 6 months ago. Have you noticed that African men and women, for the most part, wear very dressy and good quality shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/africa#post-120448 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:27:54 +0000 rute 120448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!<br /> Thank you for sharing and welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/africa#post-120436 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:33:05 +0000 Isabel 120436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOw, what a treat !!</p> <p>Thank you for sharing it with us ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/africa#post-120422 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:07:14 +0000 stringy 120422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want photos, it might be a good idea to start chatting with the person first, by asking about their fabulous outfit. If the person seems generally upbeat and extroverted they may think it's flattering that you'd like to take a photo so go ahead and ask; if they seem shy don't suggest it, or at least mention that you like to take pics of people's outfits and see if they offer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/africa#post-120417 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:57:14 +0000 Louise 120417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome tortoise. How fantastic to be able to get clothes made by a tailor cheaper than off the peg there will be many jealous ladies here x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/africa#post-120411 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:37:49 +0000 Laura 120411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello from Africa!</p> <p>I'm in West Africa (Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire/Ivory Coast) for work and I've been admiring the fashionable people here! It is cheaper to have clothes made by a tailor than to go to a store with pre-made sizes. So, as you can imagine, the clothes fit so much better!! </p> <p>The people dress up for work. Men wear dress shirts and suits. I haven't seen many ties though. The woman wear either collared button-up shirts or more traditional dresses in bright colors. I see men wearing pink and purple. Bright orange, pink, yellow are also worn a great deal and it looks amazing against dark skin.</p> <p>I've had a hard time getting photos of people because I feel bad invading their privacy. I supposed I could ask them if it is ok. </p> <p>I think the biggest lesson I've learned from this trip is that there is no substitute for great fit! I've been inspired to have a higher standard. =) </p>
