Simply stylish....

3/8/2016

I've not posted anything in this category for a long time. (There are lots of posts in August 2014 - see sidebar.)

That may be because since the last time I sorted out my wardrobe I've been very happy with it and needed to buy very little but the odd replacement T-shirt.

However circumstances change and as I have an eye condition that means I can no longer drive and find myself using public transport more often, I am having to re-learn travelling light. (There was a time when I could go away for a weekend with a change of underwear and a toothbrush!)

I found this beautiful Danish backpack in a new shop in Great Western Road in Glasgow called Hoos.

Backpack. Elegant. Not two words I ever thought I would use together!

Classy!
I'm impressed at how well you're adapting to your new situation, Freda. My mother is having to adjust to not driving, as well, since she now only has 60% vision in one eye, so I'm familiar with the problems.

I did cry when I sold my car Swissrose. But, needs must...

A great, clean, simple (but stylish) design. Great that you were able to find a backpack without fussiness and furbelows.

I do love it though I have not tried it out for real yet..

You have - in my opinion- chosen the best colour available. I read the backpack is weatherproof which makes so much sense. I liked Hoos and searched for more about Rain. Got very much tempted by a tiny yellow purse..

I love grey with a bit of colour in it - in this case a purplish tint which matches many of my things. A tiny yellow purse sounds delightful. I hope you treat yourself!

Simply stylish indeed! I love its simplicity. I don't underestimate the challenges (logistically and personally) of not driving, but it's great to find things that make it a bit easier and hopefully pleasurable. And you’ll definitely be bringing some eurochic to the public transport system!

I'd forgotten that 'eurochic' bit! Love it. I see there is a newspaper called The New European - a good read I thought.
