Rain or shine, June always brings with it the usual dilemma: What should I wear? I don’t want to flaunt my summery whites anymore for fear of getting them splashed. And it gets so hot between showers that my December pullovers and sexy knitwear are not an option at all. My cottons rumple too quickly and dry too slowly. Must I throw all sense of style out the window?
Luckily, not just yet. I just chanced upon a new chain of stores that gives me some fab ops for this time of the year. Fire Walkers has row upon row of lightweight tops, skirts and dresses that are skimpy enough to be cool and synthetic enough to be drip-dry. Colourful retro wrap tops, perfect for painting the town red. Outrageously polka dotted flared skirts that’ll add zing to any gathering. Ultra slim tunic tops for when I want to appear petite and poised. Grecian-style tie-up togas for the glam touch. Teensy denim skirts that I can pair with leggings of the 80s vintage. All imported from South East Asia, but not just in the tiny sizes and limited variety your usual ‘Made in Hong Kong’ hawker offers.
I could’ve bought up the whole store, but that wouldn’t leave any goodies for you, would it? So I exercised supreme self control and chose only a few must-haves. An achingly gorgeous sheath dress in dull gold satin. A lovely purple halter that did great things to my figure. And a simple yet chic cream top in t-shirt fabric with flouncy sleeves and an unusual cut that goes fabulously with my basic blue denims.
It may not be raining cats and dogs. It’s not even raining men. But with a chain of stores like this at my disposal, I’m still reigning ‘it’ girl with my posse.
