Around the World in 80 Dresses

Grey winter days even ask for more prominent accessories than summertime to brighten them up. My Burmese dancer, Willy, my Namibian rhino who used to be my watch dog back in South Africa and the fan from Taiwan are adorning themselves with all sorts of necklaces. All the festive events winter has in store are intended for glittering jewellery, handmade clutches and unusual belts. The opal from Australia is sparkling in all hues of blue, green and yellow. I didn’t scratch for it myself but bought it in a glitzy jewellery shop in Melbourne’s downtown when I was on visit at my daughter's host family during her school term overseas. © wimkantona, Melbourne, tram, pixabay
